“Elle” Vintage Louis Vuitton Bag Tag Charm Bracelet

Bold, weighty, and beautifully made.  This chunky solid sterling silver paperclip bracelet is a statement piece with substance. Each large, elegant link has been individually formed and  hard silver soldered closed, ensuring not only strength and longevity, but also showcasing the kind of craftsmanship that sets true quality apart. This bracelet is built to last a lifetime and designed to be worn and loved every day.

The star of the piece is an authentic vintage Louis Vuitton handbag tag, circa 1990, repurposed into a striking charm. With its vivid bright pink enamel, it adds a joyful pop of colour, a nod to springtime in France, when blossom lined boulevards burst with colour and the cafés spill back into life. The charm is double-sided, which is reason I think it makes such a great bracelet charm.

Of course, Louis Vuitton needs little introduction.  Established in 1854 in Paris, the brand is world renowned for crafting high end luggage, handbags, wallets, and satchels. A lesser-known fact: in 1925, Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel commissioned a custom Louis Vuitton handbag. The piece was so admired that, by the 1930s, it was released to the public, marking the brand’s evolution into smaller luxury leather goods and forever linking two iconic French fashion houses.

Another little gem of heritage: Louis Vuitton still operates from its original factory founded in 1854. The Vuitton family home next door has since become a private museum, while the atelier continues to produce some of the world’s most coveted fashion pieces.

Back in my French jewellery workshop, this historical handbag tag has been reborn using traditional goldsmith techniques. As with all Porsha Bella Jewellery, both the charm setting and clasp are solid sterling silver, and every detail has been lovingly handcrafted. This bracelet isn’t just beautiful, it’s genuine French made jewellery, created slowly and meaningfully in the heart of the French countryside.

This piece is also part of a growing movement, “buy less new, buy upcycled.” In a world waking up to the impact of overconsumption, this bracelet offers a more conscious choice. It’s made from recycled sterling silver and repurposed luxury components, crafted with care by a small independent business. You’re not just making a sustainable choice, you’re choosing timeless style and lasting quality, with a story you’ll be proud to wear.

Important Information

Please note, all buttons used in my creations are antique, vintage, or second hand, and will naturally show signs of their previous lives.  Such as gentle surface marks, tiny dents, enamel wear, or soft tarnishing.
Each button is carefully tested and securely set, but as these treasures can be well over a century old, they remain delicate and should be treated with the same care as any fine antique.

While the jewellery itself is professionally handcrafted from solid precious metals using traditional goldsmith techniques, designed to last a lifetime, the historic buttons, pearls, and crystals within these designs are inherently more fragile. Their age and patina are what make them so special.
To preserve your piece, please avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals, perfume, or impact. Treat it gently, and it will bring you many years of beauty and admiration.

As each piece is entirely handmade and one of a kind, I’m unable to offer refunds, exchanges, or replacements for changes of mind, or for age related wear such as button cracking, crystal or pearl loss, or plating lift that may occur over time.

If you ever have concerns about caring for your jewellery, please don’t hesitate to contact me for personalised advice.

Designer buttons have no affiliation with the original fashion houses. I take great care to ensure all branded buttons are genuine and sourced from reputable second hand suppliers & fashion historians.  Porsha Bella designer button jewellery is not sold on behalf of, or in connection with, any brand.
