In the whimsical world of bag charms, you’ve witnessed the delightful takeover of plush pendants. From the adorable pout of Crybaby to the quirky grin of Labubu, these squishy companions have won their way into many hearts, injecting a playful dose of personality into handbags.
However, for those who favour leather accessories, designer brands are also entering the fray by releasing their micro-miniature SLGs. Think of it as the grown-up, more discerning cousin to the plush pendant.
01 - Bottega Veneta Miniature Sardine, SGD2220
For those who appreciate the tactile allure of leather, Bottega Veneta’s leather charms are a revelation. While the Miniature Sardine might be a newer offering, it still encapsulates the very spirit of the brand’s Intrecciato weave, just scaled down. This witty accessory features a handcrafted metallic Sardine handle, as well as a long leather strap for versatile wearing. BOTTEGA VENETA
02 - Celine Micro Triomphe Charm, SGD1150
Celine, ever the arbiter of understated cool, offers its Micro Triomphe Charm. That unmistakable motif, rendered in gleaming calfskin, is instantly recognisable, set atop black shiny calfskin for a lovely play on contrasts. A zip closure encircles the arched upper, opening to a single compartment for AirPods, quick-access cards and such. Finally, a single hook makes accessorising a breeze. CELINE
03 - Chanel Classic Mini Bag With Hook, SGD4720
Imagine, if you will, a tiny, perfectly proportioned quilted mini flap bag dangling playfully from your everyday tote. It comes in a wide array of colours, particularly in lambskin, along with metallic calfskin iterations for extra glamour. This miniaturised bag charm is certainly the ultimate meta-accessory for Chanel lovers. CHANEL
04 - Hermès Kellyfestival Charm, SGD4900
Quite possibly one of the OGs when it comes to leather bag charms, Hermès aces the game with hits like the Rodeo and Rodeo Pegase. Most recently, it also released a perfectly formed, scaled-down ode to the inimitable Kelly wallet. Designed to hang from your bag, the Kellyfestival Charm is clearly the ultimate flex for those who appreciate the subtle power of the iconic lock clasp. HERMÈS
