Have Bag Charms and Blind Boxes Killed P...

THE POLYESTER PODCAST
About this episode

Are you an Anik Anik girly or are you misappropriating cultural language as an excuse to buy more stuff? Whether you love or loathe blind boxes, this year we’ve all become obsessed with collecting bits and bobs - with the internet fiercely debating the ‘right’ type of knick knacks. In our final episode of the year, hosts Ione and Gina dig into the chaotic customisation trend and discuss why we’re all pinning self worths on the bag charms we’ve accumulated in 2024.


We're working with Hinge to our listeners to refresh their profiles for the new year ahead, focusing on the prompt 'This year I really want to...' #hingepartner
