Why I Started The Q Charm

Crafted to Mean Something

For over a decade, I worked in my late father’s textile accessories factory, supplying elastic bands to clothing manufacturers. It was hands-on, traditional, and deeply rooted in process and pride. I learned how things were made, how quality was shaped, and how important it was to care about the details.

But I was always building for others, supporting other brands, fulfilling other visions. And while I was grateful for the experience, something inside me wanted more.

I wanted to create something of my own, something that wasn’t just useful, but beautiful. Not just functional, but meaningful. Something that could carry stories, not just products.

So I stepped out. As a mother. As a self-made woman. And I started The Q Charm.

 

It Began with Heartbreak

Back in university, I bought a $480 designer backpack, saved for months, treated it like gold. Within three uses, the leather peeled. It cracked. It shed. It was fake PU leather.

I was devastated. Embarrassed. And furious. That feeling never left me.

So I thought: I would create real leather bag accessories that earned their place in someone’s life: Made to be worn, loved, and remembered, not thrown out after a season.

 

Then Came Porky

My first dog as an adult. My chaos, my comfort, my best friend. He passed far too young, and I was crushed.

In my grief, I wanted something small I could carry with me. Something beautiful. That reminded me of him. That honored what he meant to me.

That’s when The Q Charm became something deeper: a way to create not just luxury leather bag charms, but keepsakes. Symbols. Tokens of love.

 Why We Exist

The Q Charm is where real leather meets real stories. Where craftsmanship is intentional, and sentiment is sacred.

We don’t mass-produce. We handcraft each bag charm with care, stamp it with our signature tag, and send it off like a quiet little promise: This will mean something to someone.

As a mother, I believe the smallest items often hold the biggest feelings. As a founder, I believe business should be meaningful, not just profitable.

That’s why we give back. Every order helps support children in need across Vietnam, because beauty should lift more than just our wardrobes.

 

This is The Q Charm. Crafted with heritage, heart, and the hope that someone out there will carry your story just a little further.
