Downsizing may be all the rage, but could you leave the house carrying a handbag smaller than a pack of playing cards?
That’s the idea behind the latest bonkers fashion trend — ‘It’ bags so small they can fit in the palm of your hand.
As seen on the arm — or, rather, pinched daintily between the thumb and forefinger — of celebrities such as Rihanna and Kim Kardashian, these tiny bags are so compact they can barely fit a credit card inside.
‘Like everything else in fashion, it’s about extremes,’ explains fashion expert Emily Johnston.
‘Bags are either so massive you could fit your family inside or so tiny they’re smaller than a ring on your finger.’
But what’s the point of a bag you can’t put anything useful in? With this in mind, we’ve looked at what essentials (money, lipstick, keys and a phone such as an iPhone) will fit inside some of the most popular tiny bags.
We used each bag’s height, width and depth to calculate the approximate volume and price per cubic centimetre to see if you really can fit good things in small packages...

Peekaboo! Gigi is leading the way

At least you can just about slip a phone inside this lamb-leather Fendi ‘fashion show micro bag’, which boasts two interior compartments, a top handle and a detachable shoulder strap.

Patent mini grab bag, £9 (reduced), boohoo.com

Rihanna's microbag has true star power
Chiquito bag, $522 (£397.25), jacquemus.com

Dolce & Gabbana Mini Sicily bag, £695 (leather) and £1,950 (embellished), harrods.com
Looking like a doll’s accessory, this ‘extra-miniature’ sized Dolce & Gabbana bag supposedly has room ‘to house key essentials’ (the designers clearly don’t see a phone or wallet as essential).

Size: Approx. 13 x 9 x 4cm
Price per cubic cm: Approx. £1.49 (leather); £4.17 (embellished)
Jacquemus Le Pitchou purse, £175, ssense.com/en-gb/
At least this bag has the sense to call itself a purse — it would struggle to fit in anything other than a few coins.

Size: 10.5 x 10.5 x 1cm

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
