The Links of London design archive is filled with elegant surprises, and few are as playful and unexpected as the ‘A Day Out Shopping’ Bi-Colour Sneaker Charm. Designed to echo the silhouette of a classic high-fashion trainer, this charm blends sport and style in a uniquely urban interpretation of luxury jewellery.

Links of London ‘A Day Out Shopping’ Sneaker Charm – Black Rhodium & Yellow Gold Vermeil

A Snapshot of London Street Style

Released during a time when designer trainers were making their way from gym floors to fashion week runways, this Links of London sneaker charm captured the moment perfectly. With its sculpted sole, bold two-tone finish, and precise detailing, the piece channels the aesthetic of iconic silhouettes such as the Nike Air Max 90 and Reebok classics — without ever naming names. The brand’s signature 3-ring logo appears on the side of the trainer, while the word LINKS is engraved on the underside, making this charm unmistakably authentic.

Materials & Craftsmanship

This version of the charm is particularly special: it features a combination of black rhodium and 18ct yellow gold vermeil over sterling silver, giving it a striking bi-colour finish. The contrast between the dark rhodium and warm gold not only adds depth to the sculptural detail but also reflects the dual personality of the modern woman — elegant and bold, classic and contemporary.

As a New Old Stock (NOS) item from the final stages of Links of London’s retail era, this charm remains in pristine condition. Still sealed in its original grip-seal bag, it was never released to the public in large numbers, making it a rare survivor of the brand’s final collections.

A Rare Find from the Final Era

This charm was part of a final push by Links of London to explore younger, more fashion-forward motifs while still maintaining the brand’s heritage craftsmanship. Though many of these later pieces never made it into widespread circulation, they represent an exciting period of creativity and experimentation.

Whether worn on a necklace, added to a Sweetie bracelet, or displayed as a collectible, the ‘A Day Out Shopping’ Sneaker Charm is a wearable slice of fashion history — a small but mighty homage to London’s iconic streetwear culture and the brand’s enduring appeal.
