Mini bags, the must-have accessories of the season

A few years ago, the real trend was to wear oversized maxi bags, the ones so beloved of the Olsens, but today it is the mini bags that have become an irreplaceable must-have. Once considered and used by the elite who had the staff to carry their nécessaire, today they are a coveted fashion item. Straight from the Fall Winter 2022 catwalks, this trend emblematic of the less is more concept seems to be spreading more and more.

From Bottega Veneta, to Dior and Coperni‘s unique design, mini bags seem destined to enter our wardrobe as the object of desire for all trendsetters. As we know, accessories always make the difference, they play a starring role by embellishing the entire look. There is no limit to colours, types and shapes, mini bags are like real jewellery.

Not to be confused with their even more mini version – the micro bags – they have only one limitation, that they cannot hold too many objects. Some of the first mini bags include, in the 2000s, Fendi‘s famous Baguette, Louis Vuitton‘s Speedy mini trunk, and the nylon bag by Prada, now back to being one of the Milanese fashion house’s best sellers.

Back on the catwalk especially in spring 2019, mini bags are increasingly confirming themselves as one of the most loved accessories of the moment. What are the fashion houses’ proposals for Autumn Winter 2022?
