Press Release: The Rise of Bag Charms: Embrace Personalization and Playfulness This Season
In the world of fashion accessories, bag charms have emerged as the must-have item of the season, celebrating personalization and playful expression. Last year, Hailey Bieber’s Rhode launched a phone case with a clever built-in lip balm holder, setting the stage for more functional yet fun accessories. Benefit Cosmetics followed suit with their Benetint and High Beam highlighter packaging in keychain format.
The latest sensation? Labubu bag charms. Celebrities like Dua Lipa, Gigi Hadid, and Anne Hathaway have been spotted adorning their luxury bags with these whimsical charms, combining practicality with style. The charm’s appeal extends to the Y2K generation, celebrated as "dopamine dressing," evoking nostalgia for childhood.
Labubu, a furry character inspired by Nordic mythology, has gained traction among collectors and fans alike, available in plush toys, figurines, and accessories through toy company Pop Mart. The ‘blind box’ concept—where customers purchase a mystery box—adds a layer of excitement to promote sales, resulting in Labubu items frequently selling out in stores worldwide.
Notable figures such as Korean pop stars from Blackpink and global icons like Rihanna have been seen showcasing Labubu on their designer bags. The demand is palpable, with shoppers lining up for hours at stores across the globe, especially in Asia and Australia, eager to claim their latest charm.
Created by Hong Kong illustrator Kasing Lung in 2015, Labubu has skyrocketed in popularity, leading the trend in bag charm designs. Yet Labubu is not alone; characters like Crybaby and Hello Kitty are also captivating fashion enthusiasts, proving that bag charms—through their unique designs—are essential for adding flair and personality to any bag. This season, it’s clear: bag charms are not just accessories; they’re a statement.
