What trade mark class is bags and accessories?
In the UK, bags and accessories usually goes in class 18 and class 14. Below: the class, example terms from the 2026 Nice list, the mistakes that cause objections, and when a second class is worth it.
Class 18
Bags, purses and leather goods are class 18. Class heading: Leather and imitations of leather; animal skins and hides; luggage and carrying bags.
Example terms (Nice list, 2026):
- bags
- handbags

- travelling bags
Class 14
Key rings are class 14. Class heading: Precious metals and their alloys; jewellery, precious and semi-precious stones; horological and chronometric instruments.
Example terms (Nice list, 2026):
- key rings [split rings with trinket or decorative fob]
When we file, every term is picked from UKIPO's pre-approved list, so the wording itself does not draw an objection. Your mark is protected only for the terms you list.
Common mistakes
- Filing bags in class 25 with clothing. Bags are class 18.
- Listing “accessories”. Name each type of item.
When a second class makes sense
Add class 25 if you also sell clothing or hats, or class 14 for jewellery.
