Hot Papier Pocket Notes Notebook Bag Charm

Most bag charms are decorative and nothing else. This one is a mini notebook. Pocket Notes clips onto a tote, a backpack, or a key ring with a copper carabiner and a cotton ribbon, and behind the coated art paper cover is a spiral pad with a refillable mini pen attached to it. So the grocery list, the phone number, the gate code, and the thing you will absolutely forget by the time you reach the car all have somewhere to go that is not a locked phone. It reads as jewelry from across the room and works like stationery up close, which is a rarer combination than it sounds in either category. That is the case for carrying one at all, rather than another charm that only takes up space on the strap. Good for a stocking stuffer, a teen birthday, a back to school add-on, or the friend who narrates her to-do list out loud and would like a proper place to put it.

What is a bag charm? A bag charm is a small decorative object clipped to a handbag, tote, or backpack by a clasp, ring, or ribbon, worn the way a keychain is but chosen for how it looks. Beyond jewelry-style charms the category now includes functional versions such as mini notebooks, pouches, and mirrors that keep a small everyday item within reach.
