Small but mighty: 5 fun accessories for glasses and AirPods

Glasses, sunglasses, AirPods - the small things that end up coming everywhere with you. They're easy to throw in your bag, but just as easy to lose or scratch along the way. The right accessories don't just look good, they make everything easier to find and use.

Here are 6 tips on what to consider:

1. Start with something padded
   
   Lightly padded glasses sleeves offer protection against scratches and light impact, without the bulk of a hard case. They're easy to slip into a handbag or coat pocket, and soft enough to carry alongside everything else. Brands like BAGGU do this particularly well with their signature puffy designs: quilted, lightweight, and finished with a simple flap closure that keeps everything secure.
   
   
   
   
2. Match your case to your mood
   
   Think of your case as part of your outfit, not just something practical. Picking different colours or prints can add a small moment of personality to your day, something you can change up depending on what you're wearing. BAGGU leans into this with a mix of fun prints and shades, from colour-pop cherries to classic leopard, soft lilacs and hazy gradient styles. It means your glasses sleeve or earbuds case feels just as considered as the rest of what you're carrying.
   
   
   
   
3. Add a clip, strap or loop
   
   If you're prone to misplacing smaller items (us too), look for AirPods cases or sleeves with a clip, wrist strap or loop. Being able to attach them to your bag, keys or even belt loop adds a layer of security, and means they're always within reach. Some BAGGU styles keep this really minimal: a small fabric loop or tab that makes them easier to grab or hook on, without adding bulk or fuss.
   
   
   
   
4. Choose materials that age well
   
   These are items you handle constantly, so materials matter. Look for fabrics that can take wear - think quilted nylon, durable canvas, or soft leathers that develop character over time rather than showing damage. It keeps them looking considered, even with daily use. BAGGU's recycled nylon is a good example: lightweight but hard-wearing, with a slightly structured feel that holds up well to daily use without losing its shape.
   
   
   
   
5. Think about visibility
   
   Small items can be hard to find quickly, especially in larger bags. Choosing accessories in brighter colours, contrast linings, or tactile fabrics makes them easier to find without rummaging. It's a small detail that makes a noticeable difference to your daily routine.
   
   
   
   
6. Keep one in every bag
   
   If you regularly switch between bags, it's worth having more than one case or sleeve. Keeping one in each saves you from constantly moving things around, and that last-minute scramble out the door, trying to remember which bag your glasses are in with five minutes to spare.
