Tiny Purse? Ariana Grande Is Rocking the Tiny Backpack Instead
It’s by a designer brand, no less….


For the past year or two, tiny purses have been the trend that simply won’t quit! The movement really kicked off in 2018 thanks to labels such as Jacquemus, who proposed we carry around bags big enough only to fit a card wallet and maybe a lip gloss, and the idea hasn’t fizzled out just yet. Rocking a micro bag isn’t just a look—it’s become a lifestyle, and one that challenges us to streamline what we cart around with us on the daily. It’s especially a hit with celebrities. Now, however, superstar Ariana Grande is taking the itty-bitty look to another accessory. Enter the micro backpack.
Backpacks are, in essence, functional. They’re essential for students, who have to cart around laptops, notepads, and giant water bottles for class. But Grande stepped out in Beverly Hills, California this weekend and made the case for the tiny backpack being purely a fashion accessory. Worn cross-body, the Positions singer sported a micro Louis Vuitton backpack, finished in the French fashion house’s signature monogram print. She styled it in a classically Grande way, with an oversized sweater (worn as a dress), laced-up thigh-high boots, and oversized sunglasses. In its miniature size, the bag is more of a statement piece than a practical one. But it is decidedly roomier than a mini purse: inside, you could fit a regular wallet, keys, and dare I say, even your phone! I guess it’s officially time to say “thank you, next” to tiny purses and “yuh” to tiny backpacks.

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout
A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.
The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.
There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.
The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.
Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack
Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.
The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.
None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.
Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
