First, it was Bella’s micro sunglasses. Then followed the underrated kitten heel (definitely ‘ain’t your grandma’s shoes). Now, ultimately proving that bigger isn’t necessarily always better, the mini bag returns as this season’s hottest, cutest and most interesting trend. With luxury brands like Miu Miu, Fendi and Balenciaga downsizing their totes and purses, we’re expecting to see a lot more micro top-handles and mini crossbody bags hitting shelves this year and making a statement.
Of course, no purse will ever come small enough to compare to huge statement French label Jacquemus made with the meme-famous Le Chiquito bag, which measures at 4″ x 2.5″. It’s ridiculously tiny and yet, we’re not mad about it (can’t really explain why either).

And although they can’t carry much in these tiny purses (maybe your phone and Presto card, if you’re lucky), we can agree all that this ’90 throwback trend surely does pack a powerful punch. We’re totally coveting mini bags. Scroll through our top picks to buy right now.
