On today's show, we're chatting with Amanda Marcuson, the founder of BAG CRAP. Bag Crap is a vintage bag charm brand built on nostalgi and individuality
Amanda is a longtime vintage collector, with a love of treasure hunting that grew over the years as she spent countless weekends at estate sales, thrift stores, and flea markets searching for quirky items. She became a luxury handbag resale expert turned designer and charm curator. She uses vintage keychains and repurposed toys to transform nostalgic items into playful one-of-a-kind bag charms that celebrate sustainability.
Her business experienced the bag charm boom – she's been featured in several issues of VOGUE, GQ, and Nylon, and worn by style icons like Tracee Ellis Ross and Gabriella Karefa-Johnson.
But Amanda feels in her heart that her one-of-a-kind bag charms, made from trinkets found all over the world, are more than just a trend item – we get into it all! It's a fun one, and I think you're really gonna love it – so let's dive right in!
