Be more squee': the big business of tiny accessories
Briefly

Fashion trends are shifting towards smaller accessories, as seen in items like Uniqlo's micro shoulder bag, which is now 21.5cm by 11.5cm, from its original size of 28cm by 17cm. The Micro Hydro Mini flask also exemplifies this trend, holding just 200ml and quickly selling out upon release, showcasing its viral popularity on TikTok. Additionally, plush charm toys like Labubu dolls and Pharrell Williams's LaVuVu charms are being produced in significantly reduced sizes, emphasizing a practical yet fashionable approach to accessory design.
The original banana-shaped hit from Uniqlo, measuring 28cm by 17cm, has now been downsized to 21.5cm by 11.5cm, comfortably nesting inside its predecessor.
A 200ml Micro Hydro Mini flask has gone viral, able to hold about 3.5 gulpfuls of water, quickly selling out after its launch.
Labubu dolls are shrinking, with original characters at 17cm and keychain versions now at a diminutive 2cm, posing a risk of being lost easily.
Pharrell Williams introduced LaVuVu charms at 10cm high, featuring bears in mini fashion outfits, reflecting the trend of downsizing designer accessories.
