The Micro Purse Trend Sweeping The Nation

The micro purse trend has swept the nation, thanks to starlets like Dua Lipa and Kendall Jenner opting for this style in recent months.

Sure, a purse that’s hardly larger than an iPhone (don’t even think about trying to fit an iPhone Plus!) may not seem totally practical, but for the influencer world, a micro purse is the season’s hottest new accessory.

Check out the best micro purses out there so you can rock the trend as well.

Jacquemus Le Sac Chiquito

Jacquemus Le Sac Chiquito | $585

The purse that started it all. Influencers and celebrities have been fawning all over this adorable tiny purse, including singer Dua Lipa. You won’t be able to fit much more than a few coins, but this purse is much more a fashion statement than a practical accessory.

Rebecca Minkoff Je T’Aime Phone Crossbody

This versatile purse from Rebecca Minkoff is another more practical take on the micro purse trend, because it features compartments for your phone, as well as small pouches to store all your necessities. It’s essentially a wallet with a top handle and shoulder strap, and I absolutely adore it!
