How I Personalized my Charlie Bag by Parker Thatch
I picked quite a few pieces for my Charlie Bag. I adorned my bag with a Crystal Stone Bag Charm, a Chunky Link Chain in Gold, Round Glass Bead Bag Charm, a Monogram Letter Bag Charm, and some Asian good luck charms (I think these were exclusively for the event attendees!). They are all held by a Bag Charm Holder!
