Even if you don’t own a Birkin, (really, any big purse will do) here are three ways to get in on this charming trend.
SHOW SOME SCHOOL SPIRIT
Start on campus by hitting up your university bookstore to look for spirit-related paraphernalia such as trinkets or keychains to hang on your bag.
STICK IT TO ‘EM
Jane was definitely onto something when she began adding stickers to her Birkin bags. Not only are they super affordable, but you can pretty much buy them anywhere, and they’re a great way to show off your personal feels.
GET (EXTRA) CRAFTY
Head to your local crafts store and grab some standout fabrics. From lace to faux fur, there’s no shortage of materials you can use here. Wrap the fabric around the handles and drape the beads from both sides of your bag. Add small jewels like diamonds and pearls or take a note from Jane, who once hung a Hermès watch from her Birkin, and attach bigger accessories like bangles and charms.
