At Balenciaga, charms come in all shapes and sizes, each helping to personalise some of your favourite handbags. In particular, standout bags like the Bel Air, Rodeo, Le City and Le Cagole feature looped handles and hardware to artfully display Balenciaga’s generous selection of charms.

The French fashion house has even dedicated a new category, Charms Bar, to the ever-growing range. Boasting a generous selection that includes miniature replicas of Balenciaga bags, look out for the new Le City Micro Bag Charm, as well as playful objects like cheeky shoelaces.
Specific designs get individual names to avoid confusion. For example, the chic Le City Charm Eiffel (SGD595) features an Arena Storico lambskin leather tab concealing two split rings with decorative keys and the Eiffel Tower as hanging charms. Aside from black and pink, it also comes in blue, brown and green, seemingly to match its namesake handbag.
For more elaborate options, the Paloma Charm (SGD875) might do the trick. Its single split ring holds charms including the BB logo, a heart-shape mirror, silicone embellishments, keys and a metallic padlock. Up the ante further with the multicoloured Aki Charm (SGD1200), with an extra grey Balenciaga ‘price tag’ and crystal heart. Whereas the chunky Turner Charm (SGD1950) boasts three split rings displaying hanging charms, plus a cute dolphin and kitten.
Whether you’re a Balenciaga fan or simply appreciate the art of personalisation, there’s no denying the appeal of these charming accessories from Balenciaga.
