Designer minis are going nowhere, with luxury brands introducing smaller and smaller versions of their signature bags, and today, the spotlight falls on Celine’s latest charmer, the Nano Triomphe Bag which will be available in Singapore boutiques anytime soon.

Here are several reasons why the Nano looks set on becoming a hot favourite amongst the fans of Celine’s Triomphe Bag. Even though it’s a miniaturised version of the original, it retains all the elements which made the bag popular to begin with. The gold-tone metallic clasp (a symbol of the House since the 1970s) sits right in the middle, doubling up as the bag’s logo and opening mechanism. It also comes in the same flap bag format which is versatile enough to be dressed up or down, taken out on the everyday, or functioning as the perfect crossbody for an evening out with the girls. And while the bigger sizes (Teen, Medium and Large), open to 3 compartments, the Nano has just one, which makes it the fuss-free alternative for ladies who love opening their bags to a single roomy interior with everything in view.

If you need the exact dimensions, the Nano comes in at 16.5 cm by 11.5 cm, which is just slighter smaller than the Teen (18.5 cm by 14 cm), but at two-thirds of the price. Yes, the Nano Triomphe Bag in shiny calfskin is priced under SGD3000 and will be made available in colours like Antique Rose, Black, Citron and Light Khaki at SGD2950 each.

And if you’re looking for the version in Triomphe Canvas monogram that’s shown above, that’s just SGD2150, which is honestly a great price in today’s day and age. While the bags aren’t available in Singapore boutiques yet, you can always leave your name with the store and be informed the moment it arrives.
