DIOR MICRO BAGS ARE AS SMALL AND FUN AS YOU'D EXPECT, AND ARE RAGING THIS LATE SUMMER.

The unexpected success of micro bags was something that took many bag lovers, by surprise. After all, a bag is intended to carry your most needed wares,  and when the trend of tiny bags became more than just a moment but a movement, it seemed like it might not hold. But hold it has (well, not holding all of your items like your much needed phone) and all fashionistas find themselves utterly infatuated with micro bags. These miniature versions are playful and meant to make a fashion statement, and while our bags are intended to be functional, many of us grow our collections extensively to fill just about any and every category that exists. we want our bags to be different and fun, and if you are just a bit obsessed with all things miniature, then you'll quickly fall in love with Dior micro bags. The brand reinvented and launched some of its most iconic bag silhouettes in micro sized versions, just allowing for your AirPods, lipstick, keys, and a bit of cash + credit card to fit inside. 

Dior Micro Vanity Case: When Dior introduced the Vanity Case as a bag option, many felt this instant longing for it. The shape is more utilitarian, intended to be that of a makeup bag, but once you add the shoulder strap and turn it into a bag, the new shape is really lovely. This Micro size has a single compartment that you access by the open top double zip closure. The removable and adjustable leather shoulder strap allows for you to carry the bag by hand, wear it over the shoulder, or crossbody. As this bag is a part of the Lady Dior family, a D.I.O.R charm hangs from the outside hardware where the strap attaches. The outside features Cannage topstitching on the lambskin leather and there are ample colorways to choose from. The dimensions are small of course, 12 x 7.5 cm or 4.7 x 3 inches. 

Dior Micro Lady Dior: The Lady Dior bag is one of the most iconic and recognizable bags in handbag history, and this fun-loving sizes allows the sometimes more demure Lady Dior bag to feel a bit more lively. The Micro Lady Dior has every feature that makes the Lady Dior the staple that it is, from the iconic cannage motif, to the recognizable architectural lines, to the golden Christian Dior signature. The smaller size is meticulously crafted by the House’s leatherworking Ateliers in Italy and the elements of this tiny accessory are then assembled one by one by the petites mains. Dior offers a variety of colors from basic black to pastel hues and there’s a long, adjustable shoulder strap included as well. Dimensions are 12 x 10 x 5 cm / 5 x 4 x 2 inches. 

Dior Micro Saddle Bag: The blue is a dreamy hue, perfect as the water backdrop to our day at the pool, and also my favourite together with the same model in logo canvas. You can pair this bag with micro shoulder straps or opt for one of Dior’s embroidered shoulder straps to really give a different look. Dimensions are 12 x 7.5 x 5 cm / 4.5 x 3 x 2 inches.

Micro Dior Caro Bag: A model matching classic chic and modern vibes, thanks to the choice of material in smooth calfskin and iconic cannage motif. As for the hardware, this flap bag features the brand’s monogram closure inspired to Christian Dior’s perfume bottle sealing and chain strap. Dimensions are: 13 x 8 x 4 cm / 5 x 3 x 1.5 inches.



Dior Micro Montaigne Bag: I
nspired by the famous address of the "maison", as for the hardware, this flap bag features the brand’s monogram closure inspired to Christian Dior’s perfume bottle sealing and an adjustable leather strap. Dimensions: 13 x 8 x 4 cm / 5 x 3 x 1.5 inches.

AREN'T CAPRI LACE-UP SANDALS ONE OF THE COOLEST ACCESSORIES IN SUMMER 2021?

As you probably know, Capri lace-up sandals are nicknamed "naked shoes" for their quality of leaving much of the foot bare, yet decorated with interlaced straps. Their minimalism makes them one of the "it" accessories of Summer 2021, and of course the latest vacation shoe trend. 

They're every girl's Mediterranean holiday dream, because of their sexy, yet easy-going style and their ability to dress up any outfit without feeling over-the-top, with their long laces wrapping elegantly around the leg to be flaunted with a denim mini-skirt / pair of shorts, or revealed partially through loose midi-chiffon dresses / skirts for off the hook looks.

Personally, I bought a pair of them at Syrenia Capri Sandals, a brand from the Amalfi Coast offering a line of high-quality materials, artisan sandals with timeless charm made with traditional craftsmanship and high-quality materials. Thanks to a customised customer service, I was actually able to select every detail according to my requirements, from the golden tone of the laces to the 3 cm heel height, with the addition of my monogram engraved on the edge of both soles. If you are a last-minute fashioniser, you can still order a pair online and have it home-delivered in a few days.



Certainly, I'm going to include this fresh, versatile, easy-to-wear accessory to my Mid-August weekend suitcase and I won't certainly get enough of this trend for the rest of the season, and even they will be a staple for Summers to come. It will match perfectly with a white organic cotton layered buttoned-up dress, and a Dior mini saddle bag, for a breezy, easy & chic look. And last but not least, this new comfort footwear which has taken over fashion will make hours of walking less painful while staying chic and feminine.
So, let's call it slinky style to make you sure of creating your next iconic, boho look, but without the sting!
