Trendy Mini Designer Handbags and How to Wear them
The tiny handbag is one fashion trend that won’t fade any time soon. With celebrities rocking the red carpet with small designer handbags, we’re bound to see a lot more of these bags. Contrary to popular belief, the mini handbag isn’t a recent trend. It can be traced back to the 60s and 70s, when society challenged traditional codes of behavior. Women began wearing shorter skirts, and handbags were reduced to complement the look. The same trend is evident in modern-day fashion, and this time the bags come in a much smaller size.
Here’s a lineup of micro designer handbags and some tips on the best outfits to go with them:
The Valentino Garavani Stud Sign shoulder bag
Valentino is famed for its iconic women’s designer purses and this Valentino Garavani Stud Sign grainy calfskin shoulder bag is an excellent example – this prestigious model is made from grainy calfskin which gives it a classic, all-season look. It comes in a black color to match your favorite outfits. It’s versatile too thanks to the detachable handle and leather strap included allowing you to wear it as a crossbody and shoulder bag too. Valentino Garavani finishes the look with a bold maxi VLogo signature that rids of the monotony of the bold, black color.
The Jacquemus Tan Le Pitchuo Wallet
We can’t overlook that Simon Porte Jacquemus spearheaded the mini handbag movement by introducing the small Le Chiquito bags.
The trend has since gone viral. If you’re not ready to splurge on the pricey Le Chiquito designer bags, a small wallet or pouch is also a great way to rock in the mini-bag fad.
Bottega Clutch Bag
Bottega designer handbags have indeed become all the rage for many women. Its sturdy construction and the ease of pairing it with any outfit make it a great all-around mini bag.
The brand uses buttery Italian leather to craft them hence likely to last a pretty long time. You’ll also love the unique cloud shape, unlike the rectangular shape on most mini handbags.
Charles & Keith Mini Dome Pouch
If you haven’t bought into the idea of carrying mini bags yet, buying one styled as a keychain might just come in handy. This black Mini Dome Pouch is versatile enough for an office look and sleek for a party after work.
Cult Gaia Ark Clutch
This ark clutch bag is such a vibe with celebrities like Beyonce, Emma Stone, Michele Williams, and Rosie Huntington seen carrying it. Its cage-like shape that creates a see-through feel and ark shape makes it stand out. What’s more, it feels pretty light on the arm, thanks to the lightweight bamboo material used to craft it.
Prada Nylon Bag
This handbag collection dates back to the 90s and early 200s, but it seems to have made a comeback in 2020. Suitable for traveling and everyday use, the Prada is an excellent addition to your mini handbag collection. In addition, the bags are available in neutrals and fun colors, proving that the sporty style can be chic too.
How to Wear Mini Handbags
With the demand for mini handbags at an all-time high, it’s crucial to find ways to style them with everyday wear and accessories. Here are some ideas:
- High Waist Trousers, a Top, and a Mini bag
Want to pull off the 70s vibe? Adding a mini bag will do that flawlessly. The high-waisted flared denim trousers belong to the mid-70s fashion, and carrying a small leather bag creates a modern vintage look.
- A Sporty Two-piece Suit and a Mini Bag
You can wear the bag around your neck or over the shoulder to complement the sporty look. Add a pair of matching sneakers for a complete look.
Be sure to carry a mini bag that gives off a minimalist vibe to avoid looking too dramatic. The small Valentino Garavani Small Rockstud calfskin handbag complements a sporty look perfectly.
- Jumpsuit Style
Adding a small cross-body handbag to a jumpsuit is one fashion style that never fails. Consider pairing it with a pair of shiny black silhouettes to make the overall look a little more stylish.
- Add Color to a Printed Shirt and Short Outfit
A bold-colored mini bag can also be used to accentuate a bland look. If you’re big on mixing patterns, you can pair bold-colored women’s purses with a printed shirt and a pair of shorts. The bag adds a pop of color to an otherwise simple look.
- Floral mini Clutch with a Dress
Floral dresses are a staple for many ladies, especially during the spring season. Pair it with a plain-colored clutch to go with the flow of the look. A matching floral mini bag also comes in handy as long as the colors aren’t too bright.
