Golden Goose logo keychain tote - Black

Personalize an ordinary cotton bag with your hand-stitched initial.

Kids headed back to school can savor a piece of summer by latching one of these DIY seashell key chains onto their backpacks. (They're fun for grownups too: make one for yourself and hang it on your tote bag.)

Those popular mix-and-match patches? Here's another way to wear them: turn them into custom keychains. All you need are a few favorites, leather scraps, and some supplies to spot them just in time for back-to-school season.

Soft coral-colored leather exudes free-spirited flair, while the gold-tone studs are an edgy addition. The beauty of this handmade embellishment is that it works for all styles — both for your go-to tote and elegant enough to dress up a leather bag.

Find out which pillow, blanket, or furniture filling is right for you.

It's your initials in shiny gold letters! Freshen up your everyday tote with an elegant monogram using only a few materials.

Time to hit the books! We used a single stencil set to decorate a pile of notebooks and a plain tote bag with graceful swans, lily pads, and lotus flowers.

Turn ordinary utilitarian hooks and carabiners into colorful keychains — they even make great gifts for Dad.

This cotton carry-all is much more eye-catching with a colorful embellishment. The trick? We dyed a simple doily and affixed it to the front with spray-on adhesive for a crochet-inspired appliqué.

Pack your bags for a summer getaway! This canvas carryall — perfect for the backyard, the beach, or somewhere farther off the map — is stenciled with a tropical-inspired all-over pattern of green monstera leaves.
