Scarves, shawls and wraps are some of the best friends that a traveling gal can have. They’re lightweight, keep you warm on cold flights, can perk up an outfit, eliminating the need to pack and protect jewelry. They make you feel feminine when you just want to put the backpack down and dress up your travel style.
I have trouble with knotting long scarves. They wrap to keep me warm but can get tangled, lopsided, twisted and generally keep me fidgeting to set them right. Scarves can be pinned into place but then there are holes in fabrics and pins bend, break or stab. When I heard about Maggies fashion magnets, I thought it was worth trying out. Now I’m adding more scarves and sarongs to my summer suitcase and Maggies will help extend winter travel wardrobes.
Enhance your travel style simply
The design is ingeniously simple. There’s a ring and a powerful ball magnet that fits inside.The ring sits in the front of the fabric and several layers can be secured together by setting the ball of the back with the layers between. What most surprised me is how strong that little magnet is. It’s not going anywhere unless you want it to.
I brought a couple of different sized Maggies on a trip to the tropics. One night I added a very light scarf to the top of a sleeveless shell. The magnet was hidden in folds of fabric, so the scarf floated around my neckline. Accessorized with a nice set of earrings, I didn’t need a necklace and felt perfectly elegant.
Maggies worked well on a cold evening out with a heavier shawl too. I used the larger button style. There are at least two sets in each box, and in this instance the silver button added a dash of extra bling. I was able to drape my scarf in a new way once and didn’t need to touch it until I took it off at home.
There’s only one thing I noticed about Maggies. When you pull them apart it takes a bit of a tug and the little ball can fly. That only happened on my first foray and now I know. Also Maggies should not be used by children. In case of ingestion, seek immediate medical attention. They are not advised for pacemaker wearers.
I’m really looking forward to experimenting more with Maggies, gathering, pleating and tucking different outfits together to enhance my travel style whether I’m traveling or on the town near home.

Disclosure: I was sent a complementary set of Maggies magnets but not compensated. All opinions are mine, as always.Â
What a nifty travel item to have! I like how even though its tiny, it still does its job remarkably!
The magnets are small but mighty!
I love scarves when traveling! Great for all weather types if you have a thinner one, can double as a shawl or head scarf when needed as well! The ultimate travel accessory!
Big scarf fan here, I guess you can tell. Glad to hear you enjoy them too.
Never heard of these! Thanks for sharing and happy travels 🙂
I think Maggies are a new product. Glad you found the post helpful.
These are really simple yet really useful. I need some of these for work.
Mixing up a work wardrobe would be simpler with these magnets for certain.
This is perfect for me! I love using scarves and sarongs, but sometimes I just can’t get them to stay up. Its a great idea to use magnets, no worries on damaging the fabric.
Glad to hear you find this helpful!
Great tip for those who travel with very limited space in their wardrobe!
Thanks, Anna. Packing is a constant battle. I’m looking forward to exploring how to use the magnets in all kinds of weather.
What a cool idea! I have become adept at tying shawls and scarfs (after watching quite a few youtube tutorials!) but these magnets would mean I wouldn’t have to remember half of the ways to do so!
I like your enthusiasm!
What a fantastic concept! I need this in my life – I can never get a scarf to sit right, and I don’t like pinning them because it leaves holes. This is great – thanks!
Glad you can see how Maggies magnets can help!
I’ve never gotten into wearing scarves. I can see the appeal, though. They would dress up an outfit.
It’s a habit I developed while living in the NW. Now that my blood has thinned after decades in San Diego, I chill easily and scarves help with that!
