I may have to be a copycat, your new bag is beautiful! I love the color and size. Do you think a sample size hairspray can would fit in it? I been looking for a new evening bag and yours has inspired me. Congratulations!

Thank you, and that’s the highest form of flattery- so by all means! :flowers:

The dimensions in inches are: 6 x 3 3/4 x 1 3/4. Because the calf leather is a “brushed metallic” as Bvlgari calls it- it’s very stiff. Patent-like. So I’m leaning towards no for the fit, unless that’s all you bring.

Since I have many evening bags around this size, my trick is I usually throw a men’s suit jacket just over my shoulders (even in summer I’m chilly at night). You wouldn’t believe how many pockets and compartments are available! And items don’t warp the jacket’s shape in mensware, unlike women’s jackets. Great for my phone and items I cannot fit in these teeny tiny bags! Take the jacket off in the venue and voilà- you are good to go!

You look contemporary, chic, and micro bags are no longer an impracticality issue :idea:

Didn’t expect to find anything but popped into Michael Kors and came out with this little cutie. I do so love a small crossbody bag. It was a great price, and considering it was an outlet store, I was surprised to be given a brand new untouched bag all wrapped up in its packaging still. And I have to say it was really well packaged! I’m quite impressed, I’m loving this little bag.

Another Bvlgari Serpenti Forever.. this time in toy size, and patent royal sapphire. Bvlgari does not skimp on the details even for this micro version!

Count of 14 ‘Bvlgari’ logos throughout. The same enamel/malachite materials used for the snake head closure. Same silky light gold ‘snake body’ chain. It is detachable one one side- so it can be worn as a top handle or wristlet.

Also can be hung onto another bag as a bag charm- but I would advice against this as the patent leathers may color transfer permanently. Photo example was just for posterity :biggrin:

I recently realized that the layers of leather comprising the bag are actually meant to represent the scales of the snake.

The thought this house puts into their serpenti forever bag is unmatched!
These are so cool!!! You have just enabled me!

Another Travelon Anti-Theft Quilted Crossbody handbag - the third one in a year. After Mom and Eldest Sis, Younger Sis also asked for one for her birthday. As we´re all into "safety first", I´m happy to push our particular bag drug!

Nice crossbody! Is that color a deep navy? I did the same thing not too long ago, came out with a lovely Cobalt blue small crossbody at 2/3 off full price. It is a different style than yours. I don't know how it will hold up, but I've been wearing it a lot since I got it.

Unfortunately no, its black. The only blue they had was just a bit too light for me. They had it in quite a few colours though. And I think that was part of the appeal, they all just looked so cute and tempting altogether like they were. And they had them with and without studs too. Yeah I'm not sure how it will hold up, but it actually feels pretty well made and quite sturdy. I've been using it ever since I got it. I am a sucker for small bags.
I'm glad you're loving yours.

I bought three from Marco Massaccessi. and they all arrived at the same time. So they count!

The dark taupe one is the Little Athena customized into a messenger bag. Carry handles were removed, I selected the hardware for the messenger strap, and included a favorite Minerva strap to the order. Custom lining and dark gunmetal. I’m in love.
The shiny one is a Zhoe colorblocked in Pompei Glitter silver and platinum. Yellow lining and light gunmetal.
And the blue cutie is the Little Muse in sapphire merinos leather with contrast stitching and edge painting. Marco is running a pop up sale on Muses on his website.
