What classifies as a mini bag these days? Well, it has to come in a compact shape that’s cute as a button, preferably armed with an elongated shoulder strap so it can be worn cross-bodied or slung over the shoulder. It should also feature all the signature characteristics of its bigger sibling, rendered in a downsized version that’s great for days (or evenings) when you only need to carry the most absolute of essentials. Mini bags tend to be a go-to option for ladies (or men) looking for a lightweight piece that’s all about the grab-and-go, which is why it has proven itself to be a must-have in every closet today.

Gucci has been giving the fans several options like the GG Marmont Super Mini, as well as the all-new Ophidia GG Mini Shoulder Bag that’s also the focus of today’s post. You don’t have to scout the web high and low for the bag, because it’s now available over at NET-A-PORTER, priced at approximately SGD1171 after conversion. Picture your favourite Ophidia GG bag but shrunken down to just 16 cm by 11 cm, and that’s exactly how small this bag is.

That said, it is fully decked out in GG Supreme canvas and finished with brown leather trims, with the signature detailing being the green and red webbing detail running down the middle of the bag. To reach for your contents, simply lift the magnetic closure, and you will find a pretty roomy interior (depth of 5 cm) that will comfortably hold your AirPods Pro, several beauty essentials and a small wallet. There’s also a card slot on the inside and another at the back to keep you well organised. While the accompanying shoulder strap isn’t removable, it does come with an adjustable length ranging from 127 cm to 143 cm, which means the boys can easily get in on the action as well. Will this be your next must-have piece from Gucci?
