It’s not easy to afford a bag to match every outfit, certainly these days. 


So here’s a way you can dress up a favorite bag with a scarf that matches your outfit perfectly.


I used a large straw bag to show you and I think it looks best on a bag with two handles, but you could use this hack with any bag except for a clutch style.

1. Prepare the scarf

Your scarf should be large enough to cover the outside of the bag completely.


Open out the scarf and lay it on a flat surface.

2. Center the bag

For this to work well, the bag needs to be placed exactly in the center of the scarf and parallel to the edges.


Use the folds in the scarf or the pattern to help you get this part right.

3. The first knot

Holding the bag steady with one hand, lift one corner of the scarf.
