Love a tried-and-tested classic from Bottega Veneta? Well, the Mini Jodie is one key style you can count on today. The very fact that it comes in 45 different variations speaks volumes of its success and popularity. And the Italian fashion house continues to dish out fresh new iterations season after season for you to lust over.

Not only are there new drool-worthy hues like Cranberry and Lantern, but the Mini Jodie now comes in alternative materials as well. For one, there’s the sassy metallic crinkled leather in Chlorophyll. Or the textural suede style with earthy tones such as Mirth Washed and Thunder. Some of you may remember the furry ‘teddy bear’ version in shearling. Others prefer the Mini Jodie with rhinestones and mirror studs for an extra sparkly treat.

The family recently expanded to include extra fluffy versions called the Mini Padded Jodie. These have a slightly bigger profile, without the knotted detailing on the top handle. The OG versions are the ones in standard intrecciato leather, with 22 colours to choose from online.

The 28 cm by 23 cm top handle Mini Jodie bag has a 100 percent lambskin lining. This explains why they retail at SGD3470 each. Full-leather bags typically cost higher than fabric-lined options, and they certainly make for an interesting treat whenever you reach for the contents within.

Thinking about styling options for the Mini Jodie? Well, the most clear-cut way is to hold it via the top handle like a chic handbag. Alternatively, slide your hand through and carry it like a wristlet. Or wear it at the elbow before taking that fashionable OOTD for Instagram and TikTok.
