Bottega Veneta has long been revered for its masterful leatherwork and iconic weave. But the new Miniature Sardine takes the signature aesthetic to delightfully diminutive new heights. With its distinctive sardine-shaped metallic handle and Intrecciato leather body, this mini marvel of a bag packs a powerful fashion punch.
This isn’t just a shrunken version of its larger, beloved predecessor either. Instead, it’s a fresh declaration that exquisite style does come in pint-sized packages. Despite measuring just 10 cm wide and 7cm high, the not-so-fishy darling actually serves several functions.

Firstly, you can use the charming Miniature Sardine as a vessel for beauty essentials, small trinkets and emergency cash. It also makes a captivating bag charm, dangling playfully from a larger tote. With an accompanying elongated leather sling, you can even wear this statement piece as a unique crossbody.
Each piece, complete with that sculptural metallic handle, is a whimsical nod to Bottega Veneta’s storied heritage. Proving that even in its most petite form, its design philosophy remains undeniably grand. Choose from pastel blue Ice, vibrant yellow Sulfur or Barolo, a deep, dark burgundy.
Currently going for SGD2220, fresh catches of the Miniature Sardine are available in Bottega Veneta stores locally. So if you love a chic miniature bag that makes a punchy statement, it’s time to go fishing.
