With quiet luxury reigning the handbag world for the better part of the last two years, it’s not surprising that the pendulum has begun to swing the other way. Fashion has become fun again, and it’s been exciting to see a return to the whimsical, more playful side of fashion.

Double Duty
Truly, it’s a no-brainer, and even Louis Vuitton released bags that came with their very own matching claw clips as part of its LV Remix collection last year. It is almost second nature as a handbag-loving girl to leave the house for a day out and clip our favorite a hair accessory to the handle of our bags, so why not let it double as a bag charm?
Plus, these days, hair clips are more than just a functional item to secure our hair on a hot summer day; they’re full-on statement makers. More and more brands are expanding their offerings to include fun patterns, cute shapes, and more. The major bonus is that they work double duty, both as an accessory for your bag and a way to quickly back your hair in pinch!
There are some really great options out there overall, but some of my favorites are by the New York-based brand Solar Eclipse. Below we’ve rounded up a dozen hit clips to get you get started!

Couldn’t have said it better 🥰
Oh, darling, how utterly quaint—assuming that true style is merely about utility. While some of us appreciate fashion as an art form, others seem content with the plebeian notion that a handbag is just a storage unit. Hair clips on bags? It’s called avant-garde accessorizing. But of course, trends are only for those who can keep up.
When the fashion houses move on from selling bangles and charms for handbags, you’ll simply follow their next marketing strategy? Is that what you mean by keeping up?
i.e. tacky
Oh, dahling, how utterly condescending and pompous. Assuming what millions of people have been doing all over the world since the invention of hair clips as avant-garde–how charming and plebeian! For God’s sake, it is just a hair clip on a bag not something Rei Kawakubo dreamt up.
I can’t agree more!!
These comments are wild🤣🤣
I’ve been doing this since I started using handbags. It’s the equivalent of putting a hair tie on my wrist. It’s not a fashion statement. It’s for convenience!
Gucci selling a $6 hair clip for $600. 🤣🤣🤣
THIS!!!!
i did this b/c i wanted easy access to my hair clip and i am the type of person that can’t decide b/w up and down hair ever – it is a trend or its just a thing that people do. not everything is ‘discovered’ by a ‘cool’ girl

It really doesn’t look good.
Buy a cheap hair clip or barrette and glue on your Hermes or Gucci ribbon and glue some crystals from Amazon. I mean $600 for a Gucci hair clip is a no for me.
