When it comes to identifying whose bag is whose, it doesn’t matter if it’s your name or another set of initials.

2 The Bracelet

The longer bar of an ID bracelet gives you more space to play with copy (or spell out an inside joke).

3 The Packing Cubes

SHOP NOW

Sure, you can monogram your packing cubes, but there’s something wonderfully off-kilter about stitching in some attitude.

4 The Shoes

Stubbs & Wootton Mules

SHOP NOW

The preppy staple is ready to get cheeky. Skip your initials in favor of the offbeat (like honoring the fact your dog’s so money).

5 The Day Bag

SHOP NOW

Have a catchphrase or rallying cry? Add it to your everyday bag for an unexpected spot of personality.

6 The Necklace

Zoë Chicco Dog Tag Charm

Make something yours, no doubt about it, by emblazoning a personality-packed phrase. Emojis optional, but encouraged.
