I've always been a trinket girl! But it's a coLLECTIOn of sentimental items over time! it should reflect your interest, not something to be copied and pasted from instagram or Pinterest.
@@ArtleyDraws couldn’t agree more lol, if it’s something ur genuinely interested in then fair enough but buying into it for the aesthetic only is soooo cringe
Omg yes thats what made jane birkins bag, who inspired the “jane birkinify” trend and miu miu, so special. It was sentimental things she picked up over years. Now people are just attaching plastic and junk for the sake of the trend and looks like a soulless copy.
The US flag jumper is originally from Ralph Lauren, Tumblr was obsessed with it in the mid 2010s and it’s popular on Pinterest too… I remember wanting one as a teenager but not being able to pay the price, obviously! Something I often think about is how much stuff I would have bought into back then if it had been as accessible to me as it is nowadays to the younger generations. It’s a blessing and a curse
Funnily enough when hearing about this bag charm trend, it reminded me of Japanese fashion that has been happening for a lot longer where people have large key rings to show of their likes and personality. To make their everyday bag less boring. It just interesting how overpriced these new bag attachments are in the Western part of the world! Also so excited to find a new podcast! Love your work!
@@icommenttoplay1301 ooh i haven’t heard of this Japanese custom, gonna have a look to compare!! it’s so funny how much brands are charging for this stuff, who on earth is falling for it??
i’ve been wearing bag charms for over a decade (i’m pretty young) with a VERY slow and gradual accumulation of keyings, figurines, plushies, pins, and photocards on my bag reflecting the games, characters, and communities i’m part of… so sad to see it just get ‘trendified’ because i find it so inorganic.
@@Brianna58321Exactly!! It’s a childhood thing for me too, like primary school age (in Thailand). It’s crazy to think you can just… buy off all those pieces at once. Without any love or years of collection put into it.
the slow fashion walk made some odd choices... I get the idea, but I think making the models parade in underwear with a wide blank cloth did them a disservice. Even to me who has studied art and performance a bit, it looks like they didn't put too much thought into it. I feel like the reveal wouldn't have been as underwhelming if the white cloth at least featured some smaller, unfinished embroidery to represent the time that goes into making them, they even could've left the cotton strands and needles hang from the unfinished embroidery to give people a more kinesthetic experience by association, to make them imagine someone's hand picking up the needle and making these flowers stitch by stitch. The way they did it, it's unclear what the show is about until you see the final piece which is already unusual for these types of events.
kinda do agree that more could have been done with the white cloths!! i think the overall message of the show got across well but it was a bit jarring seeing nothing but naked models + white sheets for a while 😅
Yes! I also think that the models with the blank sheets makes you focus on lack (of a broader collection) vs catering to a show on a single piece. So much climate focused work focuses on cutting back and not on imagining new worlds through what we stand to gain. I like your idea much better!
I was in Japan last year and I think most girls (and some guys) have bag charms. One girl had over 8 plushie charms and you can barely see the bag. I'm sure the West has been influenced by the East, not just Tiktok.
I love decorating my bag with pins and charms, but as much as possible, I try to thrift the charms and buy the pins from local artists that represent my interests at that point in time. The idea of buying charms or bag pins for the ✨️ aesthetic ✨️ sounds especially wasteful once the trend dies because of just how easy it is to throw away charms in the trash. Experience alone at thrift shops tell me that these kinds of charms have trended before, and they get donated all the time
Sitting here giggling at the idea that bag charms are so “in”. Flashing back to my bags in 2004 covered in “vote for Pedro” pins and handmade beaded gecko keychains we would make on the playground 😂
Those bag charms are like charm bracelets from the 2000's on steroids. I mean, I have always liked individualizing plain bags with silk scarves or sparkly brooches o whatever else fit my style at the time. But this obsessive trend following that's going on right now is just so sad.
oooh yes, i guess maybe bc charm bracelets are back with taylor swift it could link to this trend of wanting to personalise accessories?? i always think trends are more linked together than we give them credit for!
@@katierobinson Yeah, you're probably right. From a marketing perspective, it's genius. They took the idea and found a way to expand it into more and more expensive products. Sighs.
The American flag sweater is 100% originally Ralph Lauren. He initially released a line of knits with the flag in 1989 and helped underwrite the star spangled banner in the 90s and has been considered iconic for the brand ever since
Good art will leave half the audience loving and the other half loathing. Not a big fashion buff, but that show concept with the one dress sounds awesome. ❤
I’m actually excited about skinny jeans being back on the shelves. I love them. The feeling of a good pair of stretchy skinnies? Of being held and secure? Best thing!
17:27 I am part of a band, and we’ve had many discussions have merch. We’ve decided unless we found a sustainable way, we would not do clothes. I respect Chappell Roan coming out to say she wouldn’t participate collaborating with fast fashion brands.
oh interesting!! I think it's a responsible decision on your part, bc we currently have too many clothing being produced and merch is a big part of this!!
Guess I've been way ahead of the bag charm trend this whole time... I have a plush Pikachu charm on ny bag and I call him my compliment magnet because he's gotten me more compliments than anything else! The people love Pikachu lol (and, from a fashion level, I love the pop of yellow for my outfits! I don't normally wear yellow clothes but it's on me everyday)
Who buy Miu Miu purse charms ? I know the answer rich parents for their kids! My friend work at this luxury spa/perfume boutique where I live and rich kids just bring there parents to the boutique to let them know which perfume they want to buy (and we are talking about 500$ to 800$ a bottle of perfume) and parents are willingly paying them the perfume of course it for “performing well in school “ or getting in college and passing there exams kind of presents but still so luxury brand or just tapping in that market of rich millennials parents willing to pay for luxury trinkets for there kids 😂
Yeah, these kinds of products are intended for people who are so rich that they can spend $500+ without thinking about it, the same way that most normal people might buy a five dollar item on impulse.
it’s so insane, i’d be so paranoid walking around with £500 just dangling from my bag on a flimsy clip 😭 ik rich parents are willing to buy anything for their kids but honestly why do the kids WANT this stuff ???
@@katierobinson I guess for the same reasons we wanted the "must have brand" of jeans when we were young or that specific pair of shoes etc its just we are not on the same income bracket then they are. Also i'm a parent of 2 young boys (9 and 14) and we do have a very decent family income and I did buy my kids stuff that NO WAY my parents will have in-a-million-years purchased for me and my siblings at that age. But now we do ....
Idk about luxury bag charms but i like charms from indie artists or fanmade merch. Also I'm a pompom sucker. I have 2 pompoms for some of my bags so.. it's a callback to feeling like I'm in grade school with backpack charms jingling around😂 there's something very primal and animalistic about us humans wanting to show off our life trophies in mini forms on our carrying containers, like mystic talismans or wards. Now with little collectible dolls like Pop-Mart sells being in Vogue, having a little clear carrying keychain to bring them along with you is another fun trend instead of just having them sit still and lonely in your house.
An example of a celebrity brand collab I liked was Role Model and Oddli. They are a smaller, US based brand and they created a small limited edition collection with him that seemed really fun. While this a much smaller artist, I wish other celebrities would do more hand-crafted collabs like this and just make the ability to buy a raffle or something.
Also on this same topic, I was kinda shocked after going to a Niall Horan concert because he had specific merch for each city. I don't know what the quantities are for each show, but I'd imagine this creates so much waste of shirts that can never be sold again. I think musicians should also be more mindful about who they are creating merch with and how much they produce. So much of it is mass produced t shirts which people hardly ever wear again.
oooh i’m gonna have a look at this and see how they achieved it! ngl kinda shocked about niall, tour promo clothing is so wasteful but i’m too scared of the hate i’d get to make a video on it 💀💀
You know we're in a politically unstable era when luxury brands are selling us pieces of knows leather for too much money. It's reminds me of the leather wrapped rock that Nordstrom sold as a fancy paperweight in Fall 2016.
Lets talk about Tammam for a second, staging a show just to present a single dress is wasteful in its own right. Let’s not forget that fashion shows have a carbon footprint as well, not just the clothes that we see on the runway. I’d rather them do a digital “show” where they talk about the concept rather than stage a full blown catwalk for a single dress.
very good point! i’m not sure what the impact of the show was but tbf it looked quite chill to me, no extra staging seemed to have been made but idk about other emissions that may have factored in! do agree that digital catwalks need to be more commonplace
Curated charms from big brands is kind of bot behavior because if you ask someone why they bought it there’s no real story besides it’s cute vs people who have some sort of charm collections. I have a few in my big grocery tote bag but they’re all trinkets k got while traveling. These products could be a step towards sustainability. I believe Hermes has been doing trinkets with their leather scraps for years…but in the hands of all these brands who only see money signs it’s pushing towards buy buy buy. Idk. If Zara is doing it then I know it’s not with good sustainability intentions.
I think as social commentary that was an amazing concept but now if I flew from America to only see 2-3 shows would that be the one I’m most interested in no! Objectively the idea was actually great.
ooh interesting, i think it was still a powerful enough experience that i wouldn’t be mad but then again i only got a 30 minute train not a 13 hour flight so who knows how my jet lagged ass would feel 💀
I LOVE the fact that you rented that dress! It’s beautiful, you look gorgeous in it and I really hope it helps normalize renting dresses for big occasions!! Thank you for being consistent with your message! 🫶
bro how did i not know about this 😭 i hate how gimmicky fashion has become, like who needs a croissant bag from lidl, why lidl what do they have to do with croissants 💀
@@katierobinson Just read something fun! After the pop up event, it was announced the bag would be available to rent on By Rotation for those who didn't purchase!

@@katierobinsonFor sure! Its a very close copy of the original ralph lauren, even the margins of the image/flag are similar
TJMAXX had a flag sweater dupe this spring.
It’s also available on Brandy Melville for relatively inexpensive so I feel that’s playing in
