Ever since designer and head of eponymous label <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/jacquemus-beauty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jacquemus<\/a> launched his Le Chiquito Bag line in 2018, we\u2019ve been spellbound to their playful proportions. This transfixion calcified the following year, with <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/bleached-eyebrows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lizzo<\/a>\u2019s buzzy red carpet moment for the AMAs, where the singer carried a microscopic <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/fashion-valentino-abaya-collection-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maison Valentino<\/a> mini bag. Other high-end fashion houses strategically hopped onto the trend in the following two years, shoehorning at least one micro or mini bag into each collection.<\/p>\n<p>Moving into 2022, we\u2019ll start to see the pendulum swing in the opposite direction. Larger purses and oversized sunglasses are phasing in as interest for the <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/fashion-gen-z-y2k-fashion-trend\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Y2K aesthetic<\/a>, and indie sleaze continues to escalate. Classics like the <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/kim-kardashian-christmas-eve-brown-balenciaga-pete-davidson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Balenciaga<\/a> City Bag (an <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/mary-kate-olsen-chanel-coat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Olsen Twin<\/a> favourite), oversized shoulder bags, and doggie carriers for the influx of pandemic pets are in the position to be reintegrated into the mainstream market.\u00a0Before we start to usher in bottomless bags, we\u2019d like to give an honourable mention to the micro bags that left an impression on us &#8211; and our wardrobes &#8211; for the past four years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2018:\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Jacquemus Chiquito<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16972\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16972\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16972 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/01\/micro-bag-trend.jpg?w=820\" alt=\"\" width=\"820\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16972\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Instagram @kimkardashian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Always on-trend, <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/kim-kardashian-selfie-bahamas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kim Kardashian<\/a> completed her all-white look with a Jacquemus Le Chiquito bag.
