Kendall Jenner is trying to make ankle purses the new tiny glasses, and tbh, we’re confused
The Kardashian/Jenners are often at the forefront of the hottest trends — contouring, lip liner, and tiny glasses are all very much a thing thanks in part to their family. Sure, we’ll let them have their long bike shorts, but we have some reservations about the latest trend they’re trying to make happen: ankle purses. Kendall shared a photo of a tiny purse wrapped around her ankle on Instagram Stories with the caption — “it only fits joy” — which literally means that the purse is so small, you can only fit a tiny sliver of emotion inside.
Seventeen.com pointed out that this is a 2007 Chanel purse but that Kendall likely bought it at online consignment shop The Real Real for $645, where it is now sold out.
We guess we’re not shocked, seeing as Kendall is frequently seen rocking non-ankle tiny purses often. Plus she loves tiny things, like glasses, and she also loves anything with a ’90s aesthetic, and tbh, this ankle purse feels like it would have been right at home on Cher Horowitz’s leg in Clueless.
Will ankle purses catch-on? They seem so…inconvenient. Do you have to sit down to access to your purse? What if you’re wearing a short dress? What fits in there? A credit card and a single key?
Here, the original 2007 Chanel purse.

The Kardashians have attempted several trends that didn’t catch-on like contour did. Remember when Kim Kardashian West tried to bring back fanny packs?
Twitter thinks Kendall’s new trend looks like an ankle monitoring bracelet and fair point.
🤔 So that’s actually a purse, not an ankle monitor…🤷🏽♀️ #TeaTENDERS https://t.co/XpkCRSOrUp

Hmm @KendallJenner maybe purses that resemble parole ankle bracelets shouldn’t be fashionable???? pic.twitter.com/rl3vovmIcL

Listen, who knew tiny glasses that rest on the bridge of your nose and barely block out the sun would be a thing. Here’s to the ankle purses of 2018.
