Few rising stars shine as naturally as Chanikarn Tangkabodee—or Prim, as she’s known to fans. At 21, she’s already carved out a place as one of Southeast Asia’s most magnetic screen talents. With a calm confidence that belies her years, she brings the same grounded sensibility to her personal style. “At first, I just followed the director’s instructions,” she tells GRAZIA Singapore during her May 2025 cover shoot. “But as I grew older, I started to understand the characters on a deeper level—emotionally and in terms of their identity.”
That thoughtful evolution is mirrored in her fashion choices. When I saw Prim on set, she arrived with a Miu Miu handbag adorned with playful charms—a detail that instantly captured her personality. Her style carries a kitschy touch: sweet but never saccharine, polished yet distinctly personal. From structured top-handles that nod to red carpet glamour to carefree crossbodies made for off-duty moments, her bag collection offers a window into the many facets of who she is—an actress, a tastemaker, and a young woman confidently coming into her own.
For Prim, every bag isn’t just a finishing touch—it’s a quiet, expressive extension of character. Scroll through to discover the bags Prim approves.
The Purse For Glamour Night
A true showstopper, the Serpenti Cuore 1968 is equal parts elegant and bold—the perfect plus-one for any occasion calling for a little glamour.
Styling Tips: Girls’ night out? Let the Serpenti do the talking—team it with a sleek slip dress or sharp jumpsuit, strappy heels, and a bold lip. For cocktail hour, velvet or silk minis with minimal jewellery work best, since the handle already steals the show. Heading to a wedding? Soft romantic midis paired with barely-there makeup and classic mules perfectly complement this drama queen of a bag.
Structured Everyday Bag
This statement piece marries heritage charm with contemporary edge—ideal for someone like Prim, who balances classic elegance with youthful flair.
Styling Tips: Pair with crisp tailoring—think sharp blazer and wide-leg trousers—to spotlight the bag’s structured silhouette in a modern, elevated way. Or take inspiration from Prim with a structured vest for a playful power-dressing twist. And the best part? Chuck and tuck it under your arm for an effortless, cool-girl finish. To complete the look, lean into the gold hardware by adding warm caramel tones, soft blushes, or neutral hues.
A Girlie Mini Tote
The Capucines Mini quietly commands attention and brings main character energy.
Styling Tips: Elevate a tonal outfit—imagine a sleek monochrome co-ord or a structured midi dress in cream, slate, or soft lilac. A pair of sturdy loafers and delicate gold jewellery add polish. Whether handheld or worn crossbody, this bag perfectly blends refinement and freshness—just like Prim.
Essential Mini Leather Bag
The Aventure Mini radiates Miu Miu’s signature attitude—girlish with a dash of grit.
Styling Tips: Play with contrasts by pairing it with a pleated micro mini, shrunken knit cardigan, and chunky loafers or moto boots. Add narrow sunglasses and a glossy lip for that effortless “cool girl off campus” vibe. It’s a bag that doesn’t try too hard but still turns heads.
Small But Mighty Bags
The Le Pliage Xtra XS proves tiny bags can make a big statement.
Styling Tips: For everyday polish, pair it with an oversized collar shirt, relaxed denim, and ballet flats—a look that’s part French-girl charm, part off-duty cool. It strikes the perfect balance between playful and put-together.
