Jacquemus’s Le Chiquito became famous for its extremely small size after debuting in 2017.
The bag was created by French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus and quickly became one of the most recognizable accessories associated with his label. Its name means “the tiny one” in Spanish, an apt description of the miniature proportions used in the original design. Despite its small capacity, Le Chiquito has a handle and long strap, allowing it to be carried or worn across the body.
The design reflects Jacquemus’s playful approach to scale and proportion. The brand later produced larger versions, including models that retained the name while offering more practical storage. This has led to occasional confusion: not every Le Chiquito seen in stores or on runways has the same tiny dimensions.
Its high-visibility appearances on celebrities and social media helped make miniature handbags a prominent fashion trend in the late 2010s.
