They’re teeny, they’re tiny, both seemingly silly and curiously cute at the same time, and they cost a pretty penny for a bag that’s not even large enough to hold our phones (most of the time), and yet our obsession with tiny and micro bags is unmatched. ทำไม

While tiny bags are trendy they are the furthest thing from functional, forcing would be users to pare down their a lot of functional to the bare necessities, while stuffing the phone that doesn’t fit into a back pocket or simply carrying it in one’s hand. though some tiny bags are big enough to carry a phone, small card case and a few other goodies, other minis and nearly all micro bags don’t allow room for a smartphone and yet we keep getting them. but what’s the point?

Season after season bags get smaller and smaller, but the joke is on us, because designers are laughing all the way to the bank, charging us an arm and a leg for a Barbie-sized bag. What is our obsession with these tiny carries and why can’t we get enough?

When it pertains to shopping for bags, there’s an unspoken psychology behind why we get what we buy, and it goes deeper than just the need to carry our belongings, so in buy to understand why tiny bags have become so ridiculously popular, we have to first explore why we get designer handbags in the first place. and so before you scoff and think to yourself “I’d never get a bag that doesn’t fit my phone” remember that someone out there thinks that luxury handbags in general, regardless of size, are superfluous. After all, aren’t bags just indicated to house our stuff, taking us from place to place? Well…not exactly.

Handbags are in essence an extension of ourselves, our tastes and personal style and whether you want to admit it or not…a flex of sorts. So what does the tiny bag, in all its micro glory, say to the world? While a designer briefcase, backpack or power bag may say something like I am a woman (hear me roar) and I can do it all with this bag in tow and everything in it, a tiny bag says something else of sorts. It oozes an effervescence and a give no f***s type of attitude that can only come from a women who doesn’t need to carry anything at all. someone whose bag is merely a showy accessory indicated to be seen but not indicated to do it, or really do anything at, all.

For now, it seems, that the tiny bag is here to stay, so why not indulge in one for when you want that effortless, IDGAF vibe and save your big, power bags for the other 6 days of week. After all, a wo(man) can wear lots of hats.
