Custom Handbags: Personalising Your Bag to Fit Your Style

Having an item in your wardrobe that feels truly yours is quite unlike anything else. An accessory that no one else has, tailored especially to your preference, makes the item just as unique as you. 

With ‘chaotic customisation’ reportedly on the rise in 2025, it seems as though more people are seeking out products that they can make into their own, to separate themselves from other customers and put their own stamp on their wardrobe. The plus side to investing in premium, full grain leather goods? The quality will be upheld whilst you switch the straps, mix up the looks and wear it with unlimited combinations!

Colours

Choosing a colour that matches with your wardrobe or compliments a colour that you wear a lot of can really help here. You could opt for a colour that coordinates really well with a lot of your clothes (monochrome looks with similar colours seem to still be all the rage this year) and select straps that tie them in with other elements of your outfits; brightly coloured shoes, a scarf, or even a hair accessory. It is helpful to consider what kind of colours or shades will be compatible with your current wardrobe or the wardrobe that you’re aspiring to build.

Straps

An effortless way to personalise your bag is to make the most of our BankBundle offer - with any bag compatible with the offer you can choose two straps. Not only can the strap designs really help to tie in one bag with a wide array of outfits, it can make it more appropriate for different occasions. This means that your bag can fit your style more personally, wherever you’re heading! Depending on your mood or the outing, you can easily switch up your straps and give your bag a new look. The matching leather strap is perfect for when wearing a patterned top or dress, a colourful fabric strap with a design is a great way to add some texture to a simple outfit, and a Chain Weave or Chain straps are perfect for going out-out. 

Personalisation by Debossing

Our personalisation process involves the meticulous debossing of letters or symbols of your choosing, adding a truly unique touch to your bag, whether it’s for yourself or as a gift. The simple debossing of your choice of letters means that this bag has been made for you, and only you. Not only can you choose from letters for initials, but you can also choose a heart or a star symbol! 

Strap Extenders

A lovely add on that many have recently caught on to, are the strap extenders. These don’t just serve a functional purpose, but an aesthetic one too! If you don’t want to add length to your strap, you can adjust the fabric ones to be shorter and add the extenders.

Keyrings

We have been long-time lovers of keyrings (especially Pom Pom’s) and are so delighted that they’re getting the recognition they deserve this year! Adding extra keyrings to your basket, on top of your included Pom Pom or Tassel, can really add a captivating edge to your bag and set it apart from others. This can also be achieved by doubling up on your straps for a unique look - combining a Chain Weave and patterned fabric strap, for example, for some unexpected added dimension. 

At Pom Pom London, we envision a future where no one has to sacrifice individuality for practicality in the products they choose. This is what we keep in mind when stepping through the design process. We want those who invest in our bags to feel they can effortlessly make it into their own.
