Welcome to this week’s instalment of Amanda Zips It Up and the hottest trend week is this:
£ 8,500
Bag Charms Are Back: this Noughties Accessory Has Returned – And they are mentally expensive!
First of all, just look at the price of the new Balenciaga Rodeo Large Handbag in black! They have used smooth calfskin with charms with aged-silver hardware is in several looks of Balenciaga Summer 24 Collection.
But even crazier is the price of the charms!
The accessories for your bag will set you back anything from £100 to £500! No surprise that this has taken centre stage on TikTok pages and on the catwalk
If you can’t afford the real thing then the Birkin tote (or anything similar) is acceptable and the Anya Hindmarch polo charm is still expensive at £150, but will become a cult classic.
Plus – what seems to be the MUST-HAVE garment for this Spring – as seen on everyone from Victoria Beckham to Snoop Dog? Even I’m wearing them… it’s the Red Flared 70s Adidas tracksuit bottoms teamed with a black blazer or simple black polo-neck. Get yours at ASOS – Green are also coming in a close second.
