Sporting a pair of super comfy [ballerina-inspired flats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-rift-black-swan) is now a little bit more personal for the bow-loving girl who purchases a [clip-on accessory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coach-1) from the French Garden Shoes line.

Featured on [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dropshop), the French-based footwear line offers an assortment of various bows and flowers in different colors and textures that can be clipped on to a pair of basic slip-on shoes.

The ability to snap on a set of these clips will give anyone with a shoe fetish double wear out of every pair of shoes in their collection -- without draining their resources.

Available for purchase on their own or accompanied by a pair of matching shoes, these fun little embellishments can be added on to either the front or the side of a pair of kicks and make for a dainty addition to one's footwear collection.
