Sometimes you don't need a new bag to refresh your look: just add a detail. A colorful strap, a soft charm, a matching clutch, or a coordinated jewelry set can turn an everyday outfit into something special. They're also among the most popular gift ideas: small, thoughtfully chosen, and always useful.
In this guide, we cover four accessory categories: bag straps, bag charms, bags with an included clutch, and jewelry sets.
In Brief
- An interchangeable strap transforms a bag's style in seconds.
- Bag charms personalize even the most classic style.
- Bags that come with a clutch are two accessories for the price of one.
- Jewelry sets make it easy to coordinate jewelry for ceremonies and events.
Bag Straps: The Easiest Way to Change Your Look
Interchangeable, wide, and embellished straps have been one of the most popular trends in recent years. They clip onto the bag's lobster clasps or rings and transform it: a classic black bag with a printed strap instantly looks younger and more original.
How to Choose a Bag Strap
- Check the attachments: the strap needs to clip onto two rings or loops on the bag. Check the size of the lobster clasps in the product details.
- Choose the length: an adjustable strap lets you carry the bag on your shoulder or crossbody.
- Play with contrasts: choose prints and colors for neutral bags (black, beige, tan); for colorful bags, opt for more understated straps.
A wide strap is also more comfortable: it distributes the weight of the bag more evenly across your shoulder.
Bag Charms: A Personal Touch
A bag charm is a detail that says something about you. A soft pom-pom adds a cheerful touch in the colder months; a small flower-shaped coin purse is decorative and also handy for keys, coins, or earbuds. Attach them to the bag handle or ring, and move them from one bag to another.
How to wear them
- Use just one bag charm for a polished, understated look.
- On neutral, structured bags, a charm adds a playful touch.
- Echo the charm's color in another detail, such as a scarf or piece of jewelry.
Bags with an included clutch: two accessories in one
Bags that come with a clutch are a smart choice: use the large bag during the day and the clutch in the evening or to keep smaller items organized. Some clutches are detachable and can be used on their own, while others stay inside as an organizer.
Why choose them
- Organization: documents, keys, and makeup stay separate and easy to find.
- Versatility: carry the full-size bag during the day and the clutch in the evening.
- Coordination: the two pieces are designed to go together, in the same color and material.

Enrico Coveri, suede-effect set
Rossella, genuine leather bucket bag
Rebecca, woven

Jewelry sets: a ready-made combination
A jewelry set is a collection of coordinated pieces, usually a necklace and earrings, designed to be worn together. It's the simplest choice for a ceremony, event, or important evening: the pieces are already designed to work together, so you don't have to worry about matching them.
How to wear a jewelry set
- For special occasions: choose a crystal jewelry set and a simple dress, so the jewelry takes center stage.
- For the office: a slim tennis necklace and small stud earrings are elegant and understated.
- Separate the pieces: the necklace and earrings can also be worn on their own, multiplying your outfit combinations.
