do you like CHARMS on your bags??

I like the idea of charms, but have a worry about the friction/movement damaging the bag somehow! But it's on my to do list to look around for light and minimal friction ones.

I love bag charms to add a little spice or glam to a bag. I don't use them just to use them, all depends on the bag.
@Pollie-Jean I love those charms. I am such a sucker for tassels or anything that resembles them!

Thank you @thebattagirl !
I find it difficult to decide which bag a charm really fits. You always run the risk of overdoing it .
Imo for example, if the bag already has very nice hardware, it should stand on its own.
And charms that don't match the color and style of the hardware don't work for me at all .
Then it can easily look like Mardi Gras decorations ...

@Pollie-Jean agree 💯

I only use one charm on one bag, my Speedy 40 with the LV charm as well. My other bags are charm-free.

I love Twillys and charms!! Not all bags get them but some do 😊

So I only put stuff on tote bags. I used to have an Ita-Bag which are those clear Japanese casual bags to put pins, keychains, stuffed animals, whatever you want in them and it got heavy because I had about 100 metal pins/keychains attached to both sides of the bag. I no longer carry something like that around, but after purchasing this Ferragamo Nolita tote, I had the urge to decorate it with a ridiculously big chain, jewelry from my childhood that I would never wear as an adult and a Coach charm I had as display on a shelf. I wanted that "effortlessly messy" look.

Normally I don't go for a lot of stuff on bags but you made that look so well!

Haha, thank you. This took a few revisions to create the right balance for me. Older versions included a twilly or two, different ways of draping and knotting the chains and necklaces, etc. The inner emo kid in me was really fighting against my modern art directing sensibilities.
