Bow Bag Charms: Leather, Enamel, Satin and Scarf Bows

Bows are the trend that keeps coming back on handbags, and the bag charm version is the smallest way to wear one. Givenchy's Lucky Charms Leather Bow is $375 and Zimmermann's Scarf Bag Charm is $275, and both are soft and fall like fabric. The cheaper end is just as good. Chelsea28's Nautical Bow Bag Charm is $12 and BaubleBar's Bow Bag Charm is $24. If you want a bow that moves with the bag, pick one of these four.

Metal bows stay neat. Kate Spade's Charmed Metal Bow Swag Chain is $78 and hangs between two clasps, and Coach's DIY Bow Charm is $35. Sunshine Studios makes a Bow Enamel Keychain at $20 and Stoney Clover Lane's Bow Bag Charm Made with Liberty Fabric is $38. The Liberty print is the one I would pick for a plain bag, because it brings in a pattern without adding weight.

You do not need to spend $375 for a bow. Pithayla's Leopard Print Bow Bag Charm is $7.99, YAIYUQILIU's Rhinestone Pearl Bow is $5.99, Rikhiua's Elegant Gold Bow is $3.99 and ZOOEASS's Scarf Bow Bag Charm is $8.99. They are fashion accessories at fashion prices, and the leopard and houndstooth scarf bows look good on a black bag.

I would start with Coach's $35 DIY Bow if you want metal, or Stoney Clover Lane's $38 Liberty bow if you want a print. The Givenchy and Zimmermann charms are worth it only if you already like the way a scarf hangs.
