What do you call a small women's shoulder bag?

In the world of French leather goods, the small shoulder bag comes in several names. The term"crossbody"establishes itself as the international reference, while "mini-bag" characterizes traditional compact models.

The Monébari collection notably offers the Fish Tail model, an ideal size for carrying a smartphone and wallet on a daily basis. The dimensions (21 cm x 15 cm x 5 cm) correspond to current standards for urban mini-bags.

The term "trotter" refers specifically to these small, practical models, prized for their minimalist style. More sophisticated versions are called "baguettes," in reference to their characteristic elongated shape.

How to carry your handbag without back pain?

The key trends of the moment

  1. The baguette bag revisited– Inspired by the 90s but modernized, often worn on the shoulder or crossed with a thin adjustable strap.
  2. The structured mini bag– Geometric shapes, jewel closure, smooth or grained leather: it is as much a stylish accessory as it is a functional bag.
  3. The chic fanny pack (with shoulder strap)– Worn across the chest for a casual yet elegant look. It's making a strong comeback, in soft leather or premium canvas.
  4. The classic flap bag– Timeless style updated with clean lines, understated metallic finishes and an adjustable chain or leather shoulder strap.

What we are looking for today

  • Convenient format: enough space for phone, wallet, keys, without being bulky.
  • Versatility: worn cross-body for the day, on the shoulder for evening wear.
  • Handcrafted quality: Understated luxury is making a comeback. Full-grain leather bags with neat stitching dominate.
  • Sober or natural colors: black, camel, ivory, olive green, but also terracotta or mocha shades.
