Miniatures are back in style, and brands are capitalizing on it. My inner child is squealing with delight over all the cuteness. My tiny smartphone collection will look adorable in this tiny Trader Joe’s tote bag, released this week.

Brands like Louis Vuitton and North Face have all hopped on the trend of tiny versions of the most iconic designs within their realm. It’s an easy way to get fans of the brands to broadcast their fealty while helping Barbie put a little more “basic” into her closet. Here’s a look at some of the iconic keychains you can sport.

HypeBeast reported earlier this week that the North Face had unveiled a “fun new series” based on its iconic Nuptse jacket. They include the logo in its usual place, a working zipper, and a retractable hood. Unfortunately, you’ll probably have to import this, as it’s sold through the Japanese retailer Atmos.

I’ve been obsessed with trying to collect these tiny Nintendo controllers. There are two kinds, and both are officially licensed. I’ve only been able to find the NES controller, which sits in the drawer organized along with all the other tiny things.

Handbags

I also learned about the existence of this through TikTok: there’s such a thing as a micro bag. This one from Louis Vuitton is not exactly a keychain, as it can fit things inside and be carted around like a regular bag, but it’s definitely small. It has a resale value of a whopping $1,160. Brands like Givenchy have also shrunk their iconic purse designs.
