JW PEI bag charms: the animals, the flowers and which bags they fit

The bag charm is the cheapest way into JW PEI and the most fun: a vegan leather burger, a corgi, a crab, a penguin, a World Cup dachshund in a football shirt, an embroidered lily. Coveti carries 30 JW PEI bag charms from $150 to $210. Most clip onto any handle; a few, by the brand’s own note, do not fit its thicker-hardware bags.

Key facts

• 30 JW PEI bag charms at Coveti, $150 to $210.
• Most charms hang from a vegan leather loop with a 14 cm drop and a gold clasp.
• The 3D embroidered lily and tulip charms are the largest, about 11 by 25 cm and 13.5 by 22.5 cm.
• 7 charms have a compact ring that, by the brand’s note, does not fit the Hana, Maeve and Nala bags.
• The Rhombus charm doubles as a key holder.

The animals

JW PEI’s novelty charms follow its animal bags: a corgi, a French bulldog, a poodle, a ragdoll cat, a penguin, a turtle, a crab, a little sheep, a playful pig and a hanging monkey, each in vegan leather on a gold clasp. The hot dog dachshund and the World Cup dachshunds, in a football shirt and with a ball, belong to the brand’s Dachshund collection. If you like the animal shapes but not the commitment of an animal bag, a charm gives you the joke at a fraction of the price.

The flowers

The 3D embroidered lily and tulip charms, and the orchid charm, repeat the floral motifs that run through JW PEI’s dresses and shoes. They are larger and softer than the animals, and they look best on a plain bag in a single colour.

Which bags they fit

Most charms clip onto any handle and D-ring. The brand flags one exception: the lily, orchid and ocean-creature charms have a compact ring that does not fit the Hana, Maeve and Nala bags, whose hardware is thicker. Clip those to a slimmer handle, such as the Thea, and to belt loops.

How to wear a bag charm

One charm, one bag. Hang it from the handle on the side that faces out, and choose a colour that contrasts with the bag: a green turtle on a black Yara, an orange orchid on a brown tote. On a plain work bag, a small animal is enough; on a weekend tote, a big embroidered flower. Two charms on the same bag start to look like a key ring.

Care

Vegan leather charms wipe clean with a soft dry cloth. Take them off the bag before it goes in a suitcase, because the clasps can scratch the bag body, and store embroidered flowers flat so the petals keep their shape. The zinc alloy and faux pearl ocean charm should be kept dry.

As a gift

A charm is the easiest JW PEI present: no size, no colour risk, and personal. Pick the animal that belongs to the person, the dachshund for a dachshund owner, the World Cup charm for a football fan. For something a little more substantial, pair it with a card holder from the wallets.
