Q: What size is this bag charm?

Q: How should I attach a bag charm without damaging my bag?
A: The safest option is to clip or loop it onto a sturdy metal ring, D-ring or handle base where it can hang freely. Avoid forcing it onto tight hardware, and take care that it does not rub continuously against delicate leather or polished metal parts.
