Good news, great news. Valentino has finally unveiled a new size for the classic Rockstud, calling it the Micro Rockstud. This makes it one of the tiniest handbags (at Valentino, that is), thanks to its darling proportions.

Standing at 11 cm wide and 9 cm high, this miniature wonder is shaped like the familiar Rockstud tote. Complete with dual top handles, a trapezoid-shaped body and a long shoulder strap for slinging across the body.

It might not be the most functional handbag, with room for a small cardholder, lipstick and perhaps an AirPods Pro. Still, you can’t deny that it scores top points in terms of cuteness and desirability. Fully crafted in calfskin, you can choose from Black, Light Ivory and Rose Violet. Whichever your choice, all come with palladium-finish studs and hardware.

Do note that the signature clasp is more than just a decorative element. Instead, it serves as a way to open (and close) the bag. All you have to do is give it a gentle lift to have the single interior compartment in full view.

Retailing at SGD1890, the miniature wonder is sold together with a fully studded shoulder strap. With a 55 cm drop length, it’s perfect for channelling that inner rocker-chic look. The Micro Rockstud is available to purchase from Valentino boutiques and their online store now.
