When I first spotted a Jacquemus bag, it was—of course—the iconically petite Le Chiquito, the catalyst of the micro-bag movement in 2018. Although I admired Le Chiquito, once that bag was introduced, the brand immediately landed in my “for special occasions only” category (thanks to the sheer size), and I never seriously considered making a purchase.
But somewhere between the brand’s spotlight moments on shows like The White Lotus and its countless celebrity sightings, I couldn’t help but notice the evolution of Jacquemus. Its current array of bags is playful, shockingly functional, and competitively priced compared to other designer options you'll find in popular shopping areas.
After an afternoon spent analyzing, trying on, and photographing nearly every style they’ve released, I’ve formed very strong opinions. If you’re thinking about investing in your first Jacquemus (or just want to know which ones actually hold your phone), I’ve got you covered.
Here are the best Jacquemus bags, ranked by practicality, style payoff, and how many compliments I predict they’ll attract. Don’t wait too long, though—the best of Jacquemus sells out faster than you can click “add to cart.”
Debuting on the runways in January (in the arms of Gigi Hadid), the Le Petit Calino bag is the latest Jacquemus style garnering attention for 2025. It’s the perfect clutch for minimalists, offering just enough interest with its organic shape and metal ring. It also comes with a removable crossbody strap if you’d prefer to wear it that way.

The Turismo bag marks Jacquemus’s foray into sportier, utility-inspired accessories, while still keeping its artistic roots intact. I like that it was designed with a crossbody strap and structured zip compartments. You can tell that it was made for on-the-go wear with an elevated flair. The bag went viral after being featured in a video campaign shot from the window of a moving train through the French countryside, combining wanderlust and street style in a way only Jacquemus can. Think of it as the stylish travel companion you never knew you needed.
The Bisou is Jacquemus’s sleekest offering to date, designed with a long, baguette-like shape that fits snugly under the arm—living up to its name, which means “kiss” in French. This minimal yet impactful style debuted as part of the brand’s fall/winter collection and quickly gained momentum thanks to its subtle ’90s nod and red carpet appearances. Its glossy finish and chain-link details have since made it a favorite among celebrities and stylists alike, cementing its status as more than just a passing trend.
The Spiaggia (Italian for “beach”) bag is Jacquemus’s answer to carefree summer style. This lightweight and oversize bag is crafted from woven raffia and canvas, so it's perfect for sun-drenched days and spontaneous weekend getaways. While functional in essence, its exaggerated shape and sunny color palette keep it firmly in the fashion lane. It rose to popularity after a campaign featuring models lounging beachside in tonal swimwear. It's proof that even a beach bag can be a high-fashion moment.
If the Le Petit Calino is the clutch for minimalists, then the La Pochette Rond Carré is for the maximalists. Even paired with a simple LBD, the silver version will have you standing out as best dressed, no matter the occasion. The bag is also available in black and cream.

The Bambola bag leans into Jacquemus’s signature sculptural aesthetic, with its curved silhouette and oversize proportions making it an instant statement piece. It was first introduced as a more playful alternative to the brand’s structured mini bags and has since become a go-to for fashion insiders seeking a bold twist on an everyday style. It recently made a splash on social media after appearing in the brand’s surrealist runway presentation on a moving walkway—proof that Jacquemus knows how to blend art and practicality in equal measure. I especially love the raffia version for summer.
The Le Bambino bag is a classic in Jacquemus’s collection, reinvented many times in different colorways and fabrications. It’s been a popular pick since its 2020 release, but went viral last year thanks to the brand’s AI-generated ads featuring the bag driving around Paris. (This arguably started a marketing trend—leave it to Jacquemus to innovate in all areas of fashion.)
