I love bag charms! I recently found the Jack and Lucie charm from 2006 and I can't wait for fall to start wearing it! I think no one ever notices my bag charms. It's all for me and most of mine have special meaning to me.

Here's my DIY bag charm. I think it turned out pretty well! Each coin is from a country my husband and I have visited and I tried to get a mix of metals so that I don't have to try to match the bag's hardware.

I used 7 coins and each cost me about $10, and the chain is a custom order from Mautto for about $35. So this cost a little over $100 to make. I couldn't handle $500 for one that had a bunch of logos (not knocking anyone! Obviously I was highly inspired by the LV chains).

Very nice! And original. How do you like Mautto? I ordered a strap from them to match a preloved LV (Mini Lin Josephin GM). I am.impressed.

Thanks! I have recently received chain and leather straps from Mautto and I am quite happy with them. I wish they had slightly smaller clasps for narrow straps, but overall it seems like good quality stuff and I like that it's made in the US. They were very easy to work with on my custom order. I imagine I'll buy from them again in the future. I'm glad that you're happy with the strap you got for your Mini Lin Josephin! :)

I only have 1 that my daughter made for me. I leave it on 1 of my bags & smile each time I see it, even though it's a simple tassel. Otherwise I don't really like them much.

In fact when I went to try on a door, I kept wondering if there's a way to take off the door logo charm lol.

I have my eye on one at this point but I'm trying to space my purchases out. This guy is crazy expensive.

I display mine. I’m trying these two cases out and I like them but they are small ... I’ll probably need 6 of these for all my charms. I’m still trying to find the perfect display.

That looks great! But I was looking for a covered case because I hate it when dust collects on stuff :)
