While some may not understand it, many are no stranger to the craze of the mini-bag. Since Jacquemus spearheaded the trend on the 2019 runways, designers (and shoppers) haven’t looked back. The pint-sized bags made a statement in a big way, despite their less-than-practical carrying capacity. At best, we’re talking a lipstick, some keys, and perhaps a few coins. Some iterations could easily be labelled as a decorative charm or piece of jewellery given their petite construction.

Dior has been the latest to hop on the nano purse bandwagon, releasing miniature renditions of their iconic Lady Dior, 30 Montaigne, the Caro and the Saddle.

The classic curves and silhouettes of these styles remain, but have simply been scaled down and released in an array of soft summer shades, from rose and pastel blue to mint and tundra green.
