The Jane Birkin Effect is real…

 

In honor of the late and legendary Jane Birkin, the art of accessorizing the Birkin has truly become a fashion sensation, with trinkets, charms, and ribbons adorning these iconic bags in abundance. What does that mean if you’re shopping at FASHIONPHILE? It means that as for choosing your luxury accessories, you have tons of options at your disposal all in one place – even if that means you want to buy a Birkin first. We have the largest selection of Birkin bags at FASHIONPHILE sourced from some of the world’s best closets.

But what’s better is that although accessorizing the Birkin has been the talk of the fashion crowd (ok, TikTok), you don’t need a Birkin to jump into the accessorizing game – just about any luxury bag will do. But this post will feature the Birkin because, well, I think we can all agree that we’ll take any excuse to talk about Birkins. Here are four ways to easily accessorize your Birkin. 

Accessorize Your Birkin With A Twilly

One way to accessorize the Birkin is with a Twilly no less. Why a Twilly? Ribbons have been all over the runways thanks to the croquette aesthetic and balletcore. So that has us thinking what’s synonymous with ribbons at FASHIONPHILE? Twilly scarves, of course. But also, the Dior Mitzah and Louis Vuitton Bandeau if you are open to expanding across different luxury brands. We have a great article that compares these three popular silk accessories.

As you can see the Hermes Twilly isn’t just for Kelly bags or other handbags with a single handle. Although it makes sense to style a Twilly on a Kelly bag because it has only one top handle, nothing is stopping you from styling a Twilly on a Birkin bag. If you prefer covering both handles, then all the more reason to invest in two Twilly scarves. You’ll find so many other reasons to wear them this spring.  

To get started, you can wrap and tie the Twilly on your Birkin in so many different ways, just as you’re able to for an Hermes Kelly bag. Refer to this guide to styling an Hermes Twilly.

Accessorize Your Birkin Bag With Bag Charms

Just as Jane Birkin would do, another easy and chic way to accessorize your Birkin is with bag charms. Whether you are looking to invest in a Birkin bag that already looks broken in, or plan to purchase the bag new and wear it for eternity, FASHIONPHILE has you covered. Bag charms are not only great cost-effective options (just like the Twilly) but also a fantastic way to personalize your handbag, taking advantage of its full functionality.

Accessorize Your Birkin Bag With Key Rings

Similar to bag charms, designer key rings are another category that you can look to when it comes to accessorizing your Birkin bag. Key rings often have little trinkets on them that make them, well, charming to say the least. What you would normally attach to house keys or car keys, these key charms can also be attached to the handle of the bag or the hardware on the bag – typically the D-rings.

Accessorize Your Birkin With Jewelry

If you really want to “Jane Birkin-ify” your Birkin bag then you have to throw on some jewelry too. Although this may sound ludicrous, it’s a thing, we promise. Amid an era where personalization and individuality are the main focus, people are looking for more reasons to use the things they already own in more ways than one. Necklaces are a great place to look.
