HANDBAG STYLE – LESS IS DEFINITELY MORE

Having babies seemed to be the ‘in’ thing to do in Hollywood in recent times, with anyone and everyone worth their salt producing adorable designer offspring. 

But while real babies may be a continuing trend – there’s another kind of fashion baby on the rise …. the cute little baby handbag.   Whereas the huge holdalls could have happily hidden Octomum and her brood of eight in its massive interior, the latest trend of tiny little handbags won’t even have space for the dummy!.   Dynamite in small packages– these adorable mini-bags are small in size but big on style.

From cute little leather pouches, slimline purses, chic clutches to boho designer bags – there’s a baby for everyone. 

They’re on the lips of fashion designers and on the hips of the fashion-forward.  The bag is worn either slung casually over one shoulder or across the body ‘messenger’ style.  Straps are long and thin – with chain straps making a big style statement.  Now looking cool and comfortable is SO much easier without a 20kg monster hanging off your arm – and hands-free means a whole lot more fun !

There’s not room for much more than a credit card, favourite lip stick, car keys and a very sleek mobile phone… but that’s good enough for a good time.  Small but sensational.

Designers have been quick off the block getting these babies to market with Gucci, Prada, Mulberry, Celine, Chanel and Louis Vuitton among the big names to launch stunning mini handbag designs.   The emphasis is on the detailing, with ruffles, studs, metallic embellishments, fringes and tassles and faux jewels making a big statement on small bags – even on travel bags. 

Tinseltown has been quick to snap up these mighty minis, with anyone and everyone wearing the new trend including Kylie Minogue, Katie Perry, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lady GaGa wearing Chanel, Rihanna wearing Lanvin, Keira Knightly bagging Juicy Couture, Kate Bosworth with a Mulberry mini drawstring and Hilary Duff in Alexander Wang’s mini duffel.  

Mini handbags may be small in size but they’re big on style and fashion.  And if you’re wanting the latest handbag fashions and you want them NOW – why not let your fingers do the walking and shop online for handbags?.  Whether you’re a leather and chains type of girl or an out-there patent pink person or a sophisticated leather handbag type – whatever your type, there’s a huge world of mini-bags out there for you.  You too can have a baby of your own – without the sleepless nights!
