Easy accessory styling from your wardrobe

Refresh a Handbag With One Simple Scarf Loop

Use a scarf and bag you already own to make a light loop knot near a handle. The UNIQLO illustrated guide demonstrates this exact method, while Hermès also shows scarf-on-bag styling as an accessory idea.

How to

1. Check that the bag handle and its attachment points are sound. Choose a light scarf and avoid delicate bags if friction or dye transfer is a concern.
2. If the scarf is square, fold it diagonally and keep folding it into a narrow strip. Skip this if you already have a narrow ribbon scarf.
3. Fold the strip in half and place the resulting loop at the base of the handle, clear of closures and the bag opening.
4. Pass both loose ends through the folded loop together. This is the single-loop bag wrap illustrated in UNIQLO's original guide.
5. Pull gently only enough to arrange the knot and even the hanging tails. Do not tighten against leather or force fabric through metal hardware.
6. Lift the bag and check that the ends do not catch on zips, buckles or the ground. Remove a wet scarf and follow the individual care instructions for both the bag and scarf.

One more tip

This is a decorative knot, not a proven protective treatment or handle repair. Avoid wet or dye-transferring scarves and do not strain leather, zippers or hardware.
