Mini Me: Dolce & Gabbana's New Bambino Collection Is Perfect For Pint-Sized Style Stars

You’ve heard of mini bags, but what about mini me bags? Thanks to Dolce & Gabbana, that looks set to be the standout trend of Spring/Summer 2020, at least in the world of kids fashion. The luxury house has unveiled this season’s Bambino collection, and it’s sure to satisfy all your mommy and me, dad and lad needs (hashtag twinning). Several of the brand’s most-loved accessories have been made child-friendly, without compromising on the quality, craftsmanship, or panache that is synonymous with the Dolce & Gabbana name.

The vivacious Sicilian spirit inherent to the house is expressed in lush floral prints and bright colourways, splashed across diminutive versions of the Sicily top-handle, the Amore crossbody, and the Kendra tote, as well as lace and satin handbags, wheelie backpacks, and pocket bags, so your little princess will be well equipped for any avocation or adventure. Your young man, on the other hand, will be dashingly dapper in the nylon backpacks and bum bags for bambinos, which come emblazoned with the house logo, royal crown appliqués, and the “millennials star” print.

Mini me bags are complemented by mini me shoes, with scaled down interpretations of the now-classic Sorrento, Portofino, Daymaster, and Super Queen/King sneakers for all them hypebeasts in the making. Girls can delight in whimsical prints, all-over glitter and rhinestones, organza flower embellishments, and embroidered amore patches (amore means “love” in Italian), while options for boys feature contrasting monochrome and neon hues, along with logomania prints. Summer ready looks arrive in the form of beach sandals and rubber slides, but for a touch more polish, there are also ballerina flats in metallic leather or pastel lace, low-heeled sandals with pearl details, and plush velvet loafers.
