No need to shell out big bucks for a brand-new "It" bag! Tying a colourful scarf around a favourite bag's handle gives it a fresh look.

"Scarves give an old bag a new twist!" says stylist Dana Asher, as quoted by Life&Style.

And the best news? "This look works with anyone's style," says Asher. "Go classic with a Hermes or funky with a skull scarf. Each one tells its own story."

Here are some suggestions on how to pair your bags and scarves.
