Yale Football Bag Charm
Handmade with a curated mix of one-of-a-kind antique and foraged treasures.
Each charm tells its own story.
The “Yale Football” bag charm marks the beginning of the Wayne Elliett collection. Created on a family trip in Charleston, South Carolina, it holds the story of a spontaneous coastal treasure hunt. With an idea and a few materials packed, I began assembling the first charm on the living room floor after a walk along Folly Beach. What began as a solo creative project turned into a shared memory as my family joined in, combing the shore with me to find the perfect shells.
By the end of the trip, I returned home with a gallon-sized Ziploc bag full of seashells, each one selected through the eyes of someone I love.
This piece blends found objects from that day with signature Wayne Elliett elements: antique and skeleton keys, vintage tokens, a coach’s whistle tied in leather, and its own lock and key. Personal and deeply sentimental, this charm carries the energy of family, the coast, and the beauty of chance.
Attach to purses, bags, belt loops, keyrings, or wherever your heart desires.
