  • The ultimate concert-going accessory, bag charms give you the power to personalize your look down to the little details.
  • Consider color, texture and hardware before choosing the charm for you.
  • Here’s how to complete your concert look before your next show.


A concert is the ideal venue to express yourself through music and fashion—all while surrounded by friends and even strangers experiencing the same sense of excitement and passion for the artist on stage. These special IRL experiences call for special accessories (ones that keep you looking and feeling confidently coordinated and put together throughout the show). Enter: bag charms.

Here’s how to complete your concert look (and express your personal style) with charms that attach right onto your handbag.

Style Tip #1: Tie charms to your outfit’s color palette.

From color-blocked outfits to monochromatic looks, a bright bag charm has the power to complete your concert color palette. If your concert look has red accents throughout, the Cherry Bag Charm will serve as the ultimate finishing touch.

Style Tip #2: Add some texture to your look.

Don’t be afraid to play around with texture through your charms with options crafted of lightweight straw, plush shearling or smooth leather (just to name a few). For example, style a shearling charm with a sparkly beaded tank, denim skirt and supple Glovetanned Leather bag. It’s all about balancing your look with a variety of visually striking textures.

Style Tip #3: Finish it off with a jewelry-like touch.

High-shine features like sequins, rhinestones and jewelry-like charms will take your concert look to the next level. For a layered look with added dimension, double up a few chain straps on your bag. Go with a strap that already has layers built in like the Triple Chain Strap, or DIY your own multi-layer strap—all you have to do is choose a few that speak to you and clip them onto your bag.
