The Rise of the Quilted Handbag

Quilted handbags have been at the forefront of fashion since the mid-20th century, celebrated for their diamond-stitched patterns, flap closures, and refined elegance. By the 2000s and 2010s, they had become cultural icons – staples for celebrities, models, and editors alike. Their enduring popularity ensured they never went out of style, making them a natural subject for reinterpretation in jewellery.

Design & Craftsmanship

Measuring 16mm wide and 10mm high (14mm including the jump ring), the charm features a delicately quilted surface and flap detail. Crafted in sterling silver, it is fitted with a standard 9mm x 7mm oval bail bearing the classic Links of London three-ring logo and full hallmarks. Each piece was produced with the brand’s characteristic attention to detail and remains a testament to Links’ ability to merge wit with craftsmanship.

Handbags as Cultural Icons

More than functional accessories, handbags have long been symbols of identity, aspiration, and self-expression. The quilted flap bag is perhaps the most recognisable of them all – and in miniature, this charm becomes a witty nod to its status. For collectors, it is not only a beautiful charm but also a wearable snapshot of fashion history.

A Legacy of Style, in Charm Form

The Vintage Links of London Quilted Flap Bag Charm is more than a piece of silver jewellery – it’s a bridge between the world of high fashion and the playful tradition of charm collecting. Whether worn on a Sweetie bracelet, styled on a necklace, or treasured in a personal archive, it remains a stylish keepsake with lasting appeal.
