This idea is new to me, but it may be that others have already been doing it for years - but I decided to share it just in case someone else is struggling with the same issue.
Yesterday at the outlet they had a colorblock borough bag [tan and pink (loganberry?)] on sale with the FP deletes and it reminded me to carry my Large Soft Retro Glove Suede Borough in Honey 32295 UE HON.
Wow this bag is big! I don't know what I was thinking when I bought it, but it sure is a beauty.
While I was changing bags last night I was reminded of a feature that I don't like about this bag. The obvious place to attach charms, fobs, and the hangtag are the metal loops on the side that are used to attach the long strap. But when you do that the decorations get lost in the folds at the side of the bag, or they flip inside the bag and disappear completely.
It suddenly occurred to me to thread the fob attachments through the leather loops at the base of the short handles. Now the charm and hangtag are secure, nicely displayed, and unlikely to flip over, see the pics below.
I suppose that this could cause wear to the leather at the base of the short handles, but I'm going to give it a try and see how this approach works. FYI, the blue enamel Daphne flower fob is style number 92685.
