Pompoms and tassels

Customizing a bag with pompons is a simple and trendy way to add style to your accessories. All you need to do is add a piece of bag jewelry made up of one or more decorative pompoms, combined with beads, charms or ribbons, depending on the desired effect. Whether you use a wool, suede or cotton pompom, you can attach it to a chain with a ring or snap hook for easy hanging on your handbag, backpack or clutch.
