From the Paddock to the Shoulder Bag: How TASL. Is Shaping Formula 1’s Next Fashion Trend

Formula 1’s influence has never extended further beyond the track. Once defined by team merch and weekend uniforms, the sport is now shaping a new category of style – one that’s subtle, modular and designed for everyday life. At the centre of that shift is TASL., a London-based accessories brand redefining how fans wear their love of motorsport.

Founded by content creator Olivia Blankson, TASL. produces motorsport-inspired bag charms that function less like merchandise and more like collector’s items. The brand’s newly launched Drop 4 continues that evolution, drawing on the visual language of Formula 1 – performance, heritage and precision – without relying on overt logos or team branding.

Drop 4 introduces a series of handmade charms built around racing symbolism: miniature tyres, helmets, checkered elements and race cars, paired with carefully curated colour palettes and metal finishes. The result is a product that feels intentional and fashion-forward, tapping into a wider movement within the culture – where fans are embracing bold, design-led pieces as a new way to express their connection to the sport.

This approach mirrors a broader trend emerging across the paddock and beyond. As Formula 1’s audience becomes younger, more style-driven and increasingly female, accessories have become a new entry point into fandom. Bag charms, in particular, have become one of the most visible style signifiers at races, in paddocks and across social media – styled as statement accents on totes, backpacks, shoulder bags and luggage.

TASL.’s rise hasn’t gone unnoticed. In recent weeks, the brand completed a custom run of 100 handcrafted bag charms for a PUMA x Aston Martin Formula One Team event, designed and assembled in-house. While understated, the collaboration marks a significant moment for an independent brand operating at the intersection of fashion and motorsport.

As Formula 1 continues to evolve into a cultural force beyond racing, brands like TASL. highlight where the sport’s fashion future may be heading – away from traditional merch and toward personal, design-driven expressions of fandom.

With Drop 4 now live, TASL. isn’t just reflecting the next trend in Formula 1 style – it’s helping define it.
