We know some people hate to see hear them coming—and you will, what with the assortment of charms, beads, keychains, photocard holders, plushies, and more trinkets jingling as they walk. Bags may even hate to see them coming with new charms in hand and an intent to attach them to the bag strap already weighed down by a dozen charms and keychains. Who are they? Well, the anik-anik girlies, of course.
Anik-anik has been all the rage lately, a manifestation of the rising appreciation for maximalism in fashion. In terms of fashion and style, anik-anik can be seen (and heard) through the many charms, adornments, and attachments hanging off of a person. From bags to belt loops, shoe laces to eyeglass chains, if something can be hung off it, an anik-anik girlie will make sure something will be. From P-pop to K-pop, here are a few artists and celebs truly making the case for anik-aniks.
BINI MALOI
@bini_maloi will always and forever be an anik-anik girlie ✨ #fyp #bini #biniph ♬ original sound – .°•☆Bailey☆•°.
Maloi Ricalde from P-pop girl group BINI is more than just a talented singer and dancer—she’s also a style icon. From her signature red Bayonetta glasses to Y2K layered outfits, funky accessories to all the plushies and charms hanging from her bags, the idol is a through-and-through anik-anik girlie. You love to hear her coming.
ALAMAT JAO
@alamat_jao hello, sorry magulo kwarto ko #decluttering lang! going live mamayang 12 while folding my clothes 🤩🤩 #slay #idolimage ♬ original sound – Jao
Every sneak peek we get into ALAMAT Jao’s room during his videos or livestreams only proves one thing: Jao is the definition of the common Filipino—in the sense that the common Filipino is a maximalist. He’s got plushies, keychains, collectible figures and eyeglass accessories, and so much more. Whether on stage or at a party, when the anik-anik latched onto a bag, jort belt loops, or even a hat catches your eye, know that’s ALAMAT Jao.
MAKI
Maki’s earned himself a lot of wins this year, and he’s done it all in very demure, very trendy, very cutesy style. These days, you can’t spot the singer-songwriter without anik-anik hanging off his person—most likely a plushie or two. He can attach a speaker off his belt loops with the same ease he attaches a crocheted plushie!
AJAA

The youthful, playful boys of AJAA know their way around the trends. The P-pop group is all about the fun, and JC, Axl, Alex, and Ash each have their own way to style their anik-anik whether it’s on their backpacks, their pants, headphones, and even shoes.
NEWJEANS
One thing about K-pop it-group NewJeans—they can set the trends as easily as they follow them. The colorful, youthful, revamped Y2K and unique aesthetic they’re known for is directly associated with anik-anik, and are undisputed style icons as they accessorize with beaded belts, charms, stickers, and more.
SOLAR
@yongggi221 she said her keyring bag is about 8kgs and is good for doing squats. lmao 😅 #mamamoo #solar #kpop #fyp #musical ♬ HONEY – Solar
Solar of MAMAMOO’s plushie bag is jaw-dropping the moment you see it. You can barely make out what bag she uses what with all the plushies and anik-anik hanging off of it! The heavy, seemingly inconvenient plushie parade is made up of all the gifts her fans gave her, and she proudly shows it off whenever she can. Anik-anik girlie final boss.
