Buro. Buys: How to wear and where to shop the micro bag trend, as seen at fashion week

While coats and jackets grow in size from slim to tailored to oversized with the recent seasons, one trend seems to buckle the growing phenomenon: micro bags. Since Jacquemus released his viral Le Chiquito bag at his spring/summer 2018 show, brands including Brandon Maxwell, Tory Burch, Paco Rabanne, and even Charles & Keith have started downsizing these handy accessories to miniscule proportions (though we probably reached peak mini bag when Jacquemus dropped the Mini Le Chiquito that can only fit Apple AirPods).

But as phones grow larger each year, why are bags getting smaller? Perhaps it has to do with the fact that we find adoration in scaled down versions of familiar items — think miniature figurines, kitschy food inspired earrings, and the like. To fuel your love for all things tiny, browse our edits of micro bags you can shop below, and ways to style them above.
