There’s something about teeny, doll sized bags that I can’t seem to wrap my obsession around. While most people lean towards regular sized bags for practicality, mini bags to me just scream ‘fancy’! Sure, they may look fancier being carried by my toddler, but can’t mommy join in the fun wagon too?
Just because you’re a mommy, doesn’t mean you have to carry your whole house (and husband’s) in your bag. A mini arm candy not only still fits the necessities, but is more lightweight and baby friendly. Say goodbye to straining your shoulder or lugging unwanted things because mini bags are here to stay.
Louis Vuitton Mini Speedy
Remember when Kim Kardashian gifted all the baby girls in her clan their own LV mini speedy? Yeah, I’ve never been more envious. The design is heavily sought after, and its price tag even in the preloved market isn’t getting lower by the day. The mini speedy can set you back around RM3,000 and above depending on its condition and demand in the market. For the same hefty price, you’re able to get the 25/30/35. Yes, the mini speedy costs way more than its bigger counterparts! Price aside, there’s something special about the mini speedy being slung across your body with a gold chain; maybe it’s the cute factor or just plain boujee.
Chanel Mini Square Flap
I’ve binge watched various reviews of this particular mini flap on YouTube and it’s safe to say that I’m still drooling over it. While the Chanel mini flap does come in rectangle too, the square looks more appealing to me. The boxy silhouette and chain length that sits just below your hip resonate well with my lifestyle needs. As tiny as it looks, the reviews I seen mentioned otherwise. Although it comes in a variation of leather materials, caviar is my top choice because of its durability. Fashion influencer Alexa Chung has been papped multiple times carrying her mini flap almost everywhere; coffee run, music festivals and red carpet, so it shows how versatile the mini flap is.
Celine Pico Belt
If you think the Nano is tiny, wait till you see the Pico. Measuring at only 15 x 13 x 9cm, the Pico is about the size of my head. Still, it ticks off the wish list and makes for an ideal day to night bag. With such an edgy look to it, you can dress it up or down according to your style preference. Carry it as a crossbody for a hands-free outing or by the crook of your arm; either way this bag still adds the chic factor that completes your whole look. It’s also known to be durable because of the grained calfskin material. If you’re into subtle and clean design without loud logos, then Celine is the one for you.
