L.A. It Girls Are Trading XL Totes for the Chic Bag Trend Designed for Pilates and Matcha Outings.
Extra-large handbags—such as Jacquemus' Spiaggia bag, the Boatkin, and Saint Laurent's Y tote—are certainly trending, but their appeal is predominantly in the context of work or travel. However, when it comes to what the fashionable set is bringing to Pilates sessions and post-class matcha runs, the trend shifts dramatically. Instead of oversized totes, they prefer compact bags. Hailey Bieber serves as a perfect example of this trend. While exiting Forma Pilates on Melrose Avenue, Bieber sported a stylish workout ensemble consisting of a sheer, off-the-shoulder long-sleeve top, micro bike shorts, and a small leather tote from The Row. The look was both effortless and sophisticated—and we’re all for it.
Choosing a smaller bag is logical, especially for Pilates, where you only need the essentials: car keys, a wallet, sunglasses, lip gloss, and perhaps some grippy socks. Moreover, a compact bag appears much more polished when you stop for matcha at Blank Steet—you come across as put-together rather than someone who just left the gym. Keep scrolling for our carefully selected edit of essential mini totes and everything you need to emulate Bieber’s activewear style.
