Zoe Saldaña Just Made This Controversial Bag Trend Look Incredibly Chic

On the impracticality scale from one to 10, teeny-tiny bags are hovering around a nine. Most don't even fit an iPhone. You're lucky if you can get a lipstick and a credit card in there. As someone who doesn't travel very lightly, they're usually a no go for me. But after seeing Zoe Saldaña carry one yesterday in NYC while promoting her new film The Absence of Eden, I might need to sacrifice some of my belongings while on the go so that I, too, can look as chic as she did.
Saldaña opted for a minuscule crossbody Chanel bag, which she paired with a gray maxi coat, baggy jeans, and white sneakers. Even though oversize bags are trending hard right now, comically small bags are a Gen Z favorite, and plenty of designer brands are churning them out—Chanel included.
With that, keep scrolling to shop tiny bags that are as chic as Saldaña's.
