Items men are obsessing over to convey wealth and style
The undisputed queen of the micro-bag is Lizzo. She broke the Internet with this minuscule Valentino bag at the American Music Awards in 2019.
Unlike other celebs, she completely acknowledged the ridiculousness of the accessory! She joked that it contained tampons, a flask of tequila, and some condoms.
Some of the biggest supermodels in the world have walked in Jacquemus shows, and became big supporters of the micro-bag trend!
Another common sight is an iPhone and a micro-bag held in the same hand. Not ideal, really!
Social media influencers and fashion bloggers were the next to pick up on the micro-bag movement.
His most famous design, "Le Chiquito," is favored by many fashion icons, including Rihanna. It's 12 cm x 6 cm, or 5 inches x 2.5 inches.
Mexican actress Aislinn Derbez wears a micro-bag strapped to her wrist at the Spotify Awards. It seems like a more practical approach to the trend, particularly as it's barely bigger than a watch!
Actress Bella Thorne posed with hers in New York City in 2019.
But it doesn't stop there. One of the smallest bags in his collection is "Le Petit Chiquito," which is only 8.5 cm x 5 cm, or 3.3 inches x 2 inches.
Emily Ratajkowski sports an exclusive fringed version of Le Chiquito at the Jacquemus Spring Summer Show in 2019.
The Jacquemus was definitely the most common option, but others like German influencer Gitta Banko got a little more creative with theirs.
One notable feature of this bag is that it is rarely the only receptacle carried by the wearer. Its practicality is further called into question if you have to wear a second handbag with it!
But Jacquemus isn't the only brand to work with this trend. Here Pixie Geldof carries an Ashley Williams brand micro-bag at a fashion show in February 2020.
Despite the bag's size, the price isn't so small. Le Petit Chiquito costs €215, or US$255.
Kendall Jenner was one of the first celebs on the trend. She's been carrying hers since 2018.
The trend has been considered a form of minimalism by some. Downsizing your handbag means you have to rethink its contents and work with essentials only.
Kendall Jenner was seen stepping out with her favorite tiny white bag, made by French designer Jacquemus.
Leonia Hanne is Germany's biggest fashion influencer. She is a blogger, stylist, model, and social media consultant. She went with a double micro-bag at Fashion Week in 2020! Should we trust her taste?
New York and Paris Fashion Week street style snaps captured many of them toting the tiny accessories.
Jacquemus introduced the micro-bag in 2017, and it was still going strong at Fashion Week 2020. Surprising longevity for such a bizarre trend. So, what do we think? Fabulous or ludicrous?
Get rid of your key ring, swap your chunky wallet for a slim card holder, and wear an outfit with pockets so you have somewhere to put the things you couldn't fit in the bag (i.e. most of your things!).
Grazia Magazine even came up with a list of tips to help the average person adapt to the new trend!
The classic Le Chiquito is a whopping €425, or US$455.
Indeed, it's impossible to discuss the micro-bag trend without mentioning Simon Porte Jacquemus. The young Frenchman's handbag designs are becoming increasingly extreme!
There's speculation that the micro-bag trend won't survive thanks to coronavirus. After all, you can't fit a hand sanitizer in Le Petit Chiquito! The next trend on the rise is a lot more practical. Check out these fashionable face masks.
The tiny handbag trend began to emerge as early as 2017, but it's becoming more and more extreme! Kendall Jenner, Rihanna, and Beyoncé have all been seen toting bags that could barely hold a lipstick. It really hit the spotlight at the 2019 AMAs, when Lizzo may have broken a world record with her tiny accessory: a bag so small she could dangle it on one of her ornate finger nails. Not the most practical choice, but perhaps it's easier to have a micro-bag when your personal assistant follows behind carrying your phone, tampons, and Kleenex.
In this gallery, let's take a look at the micro-bag's finest moments, and decide if it's fabulous or ludicrous! Click through to get started.
