MANILA, Philippines – If size does matter, today’s “it” bag is the itty-bitty bag as mini bags make a big impact both on the runway and the streets. Designers have taken to shrinking some of their most iconic shapes — think Fendi’s Peekaboo and Celine’s Luggage Tote — and creating new styles in petite sizes.
Saint Laurent had velvet and snakeskin pouches, Lanvin had the Jiji bag, and Miu Miu went two-tone with chunky chain straps. Louis Vuitton, Kenzo, Valentino, and Chanel have also joined the mini trend.
While this adorable accessory may not be able to fit anything beyond the essentials — some money, keys, and a cell phone for a night out or on weekends — they’re big on style. And what they lack in size, these little luxuries make up for in charm, which is the very essence of arm candy.
It’s time to downsize in style with Parisian Bags in shapes like the bucket or tote and backpack. There are also structured mini bags, as well as laidback crossbody bags. Details such as studded accents and woven leather give these mini must-haves a much-needed edge.
Mini bags by Parisian Bags are available at all SM Stores nationwide. Styles may vary per branch. Get connected with Parisian Bags through Parisian Shoes and Bags on Facebook and @SMParisian and @SMShoesandBags on Twitter and Instagram, #BagsWeLove
