Bag the minaudière

The box bag is clearly blowing up in the fashion world with some major names toting this new closet essential around. With designers such as Dolce & Gabbana, Alexander McQueen and Salvatore Ferragamo killing the box-bag game, rest assured that this mini yet mighty bag is making a name for itself.

From miniature trucks to structured leather pieces, these box bags ooze high elegance and come in rectangular and square shapes. If you are unsure of what to carry inside these small wonders, then whittle away all excessive paraphernalia down to the essential trifecta: keys, lip gloss and phone.

These modern-day minaudiere triumph as this season’s new craze with embellishments, patterns and colours as well. While a snakeskin accented piece may turn up the heat on your classy quotient, box bags inspired by architectural forms, figures and detailing may help you take a fashion leap by extending your style parameters.

Besides these, you can opt for sporty long strapped doll boxes, tiny box bags with equation prints as well as out-worldly videocassette bags. Choose designs in contrasting materials and colours with unique prints, powerful patterns and wearable arty effects to stand out from the crowd.
