Carried Away

Blame it on the Fendi fur monster bag bugs. Once the couture critters hit the accessories scene, fashion girls embraced the trend by adorning their handbags with luxe toys. Charms allow for a playful expression of personalization, perfect to make your ‘it bag’ stand out in the crowd. For summer, go full kitsch and opt for seasonal symbols in bright colors–all the better to pop against a white bag. And if you’re not into key rings and tassels, try on a preppy sticker monogram; it’s the quickest way to add F-U-N to your summer bag.
