What it holds
A phone, a card case and a lipstick, flat. The 4 cm depth is the point: it slips into a tote by day and comes out on its own at night.
The colours
Six from Spring/Summer 2025, black, cream and burgundy leather and beige, brown and burgundy suede, plus the Pre-Fall 2026 black leather with contrast stitching. The burgundy suede is the evening one; the beige suede the summer one.
Apolonia against Julia
The Julia is a 17 cm top-handle mini with more depth; the Apolonia is wider and flatter with a single handle and a flap. Choose the Julia for a bag that stands on a table and the Apolonia for one that goes under the arm. The Julia page has the mini.
How to wear it
Against a draped midi dress and a kitten heel at night; with a sculpted blazer and wide trousers by day, held rather than hung.
Care
Wipe the leather; brush and protect the suede; keep the flap closed in storage so the box keeps its shape.
