I hate to say it, but you know it’s true: there’s no way you’re *ever* getting your hands on the 2019 Labubu Sports Series collection. Still, the bag charm trend is going strong. And if you’re into sports, you’d better find a cute way to accessorize before your season rolls around.
Back in the ’80s, Jane Birkin kickstarted the bag charm trend. Today, hunting down the trendiest accessories to affix to your chosen schlepping container is a sport in and of itself—and it seems all the stylish celebs and athletes are all on board. Simone Biles has some Labubus, while Angel Reese has showed up to games with a plushie adorned silver Louis Vuitton. Suni Lee is also all about a bag charm, whether it be Tatcha’s mascot Jiyū Chan or a cutie Disney moment.
