Woman’s handbag is no longer a peep into her life with everything in it, from toiletries, currency and coins, emergency medicines, cosmetics and more. Bags are getting smaller in size and function. Mini and micro bags are the latest hype; just enough for lipstick and credit cards. “It’s the perfect accessory to make a statement and add interest to your look,” says Mitali Ambekar, fashion stylist. Here’s how you can “catch” the trend.
Micro bags & mini bags
Micro bag
They’re incredibly small and feel like a form of statement piece more than functional accessories. These bags don’t prioritize practicality as they can only carry some tiny essentials such as keys, credit cards and lipstick
Mini bag
Bigger compared to micro bags but somehow still practical. These bags can be used to store more of important things like mobile phones, sanitizer, lipstick, keys and cards, small perfume bottles etc… tis
Micro handbags embody fashion’s “less is more” concept. This small accessory fits easily into your palm but is large enough to have an impact on your ensemble.

- Choose a bold-colored statement mini-bag or one having texture / print for some fun contrast.
- You could choose a bag that matches with outfityour outfit’ color scheme For instance an all-white look paired with white or ivory bag along with pearl accessories will always remain classic and classy
- For a casual look go for colorful mini cross-body bag together with jeans T-shirt. For night out select appealing micro bag coupled by off shoulder top satin midi skirt
- An online auction in February took the microbag trend to new heights when one sold at Rs 5.17 million
- The width of the sack is smaller than 0.03 inches, which is less than a grain of salt
- This neon-colored miniature is the work of art from MSCHF in New York and it is based on popular Louis Vuitton (LV) design
- The bag’s surface under microscope has LV letters patterned on it

A micro bag shows us how modern people have changed their lifestyle that now only need carry credit card. These bags are must-have because they are simple and minimalist in design hence making them ideal for clean look.
