Luxury brand Delvaux has just launched Les Miniatures Belgitude, a collection of seven miniature handbag charms that range from the waffle-inspired #5 Liege Liege to a rather adorable #6 Namur, which looks like an open packet of Belgian frites.

These tiny handbag collectibles showcase the maison’s renowned craftsmanship techniques – from silk-screening to embossing, and will be exhibited at the Landmark Atrium from September 13 to 18.

The playful campaign video will be projected above the exhibition, but if you can’t wait, here’s a sneak peek:

If you’ve fallen in love with these charms, they will be available in Delvaux boutiques from September onwards, priced at HK$7,500.
