A little retail therapy can go a long way, especially if it’s a bright and fun accessory that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face. All the merrier if it helps to chase away those Monday blues, which is what this list of 3 quirky accessories that’s curated specially for you aims to do. The best part? None of them exceed the SGD550 mark, which is a definite plus.

First up, the Mini Strap You (SGD550) from Fendi that makes for a lovely accessory to attach onto your bag, dressing it up with a different look. It’s essentially a short strap that’s armed with two clips on either side, working as an alternative top handle that differs from the conventional ones that your current Fendi bags typically come with. You can dress up bags like the Kan I and Mon Tresor, or even hook it onto the bigger-sized Runaway Shopper so you can carry it like a cool tote. This all-new version comes in PVC and furnished with calf leather trims, and is available in either Black, Orange or White across all Fendi boutiques islandwide right now.

Next, Jacquemus calls this the Le Petit Vanity Bag, but it’s frankly more of an accessory rather than a bag per se, due to its miniature 4.5 cm size that wouldn’t be able to fit much. You can, however, fit a couple of coins, a pair of AirPods or even a tiny pack of mints. The other cool bit about it has got to be the elongated chain sling that allows you to wear it in several different ways. Keep it long across the body, loop it twice and wear it like a chic necklace, or even it hang it around the waist like a cool hip bag. Priced at USD240, it comes in Black, Light Blue, White and Yellow, all of which can be purchased from Jacquemus’ e-store over here.

Rounding up the trio is Palm Angels’ Pin Badges (EUR53) that’s made to look like an anti-theft security pin that typically beeps if it wasn’t removed before you take your purchase out of the store. It’s a tongue-in-cheek accessory that’s made entirely out of polyamide (no beeping involved here), and can be pinned onto your tee, jacket, or even the exterior of a canvas/nylon bag as a cool statement-making accessory. In all, it comes in 6 different colours, including a Blue, Grey and Yellow, part of its Fall-Winter 2019 lineup, along with 3 others from Spring-Summer 2019, available in either Black, Fluo Yellow or Orange.
