Mini fashionistas: Suri Cruise, four, carries a $1,295 Dolce & Gabbana bag (left), while Madonna's daughter Mercy keeps her toys in a $235 D&G; Miss Lily for Kids satchel (right)No A-list actress worth her overpriced publicist would be seen dead without the latest 'It' bag. So it's little surprise that their children are developing the same habit.
While most little girls would just be content with something pink, the likes of Suri Cruise, Zahara Jolie-Pitt and Mercy James Ciccone already carry miniature versions of their mothers' designer arm candy.
Suri, four, whose parents, Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, already let her wear make-up and high heels, keeps her spare lipgloss in a white Dolce & Gabbana Miss Sicily bag, $1,295. Luckily they would have saved on her Dav cowboy-style rain boots, which were a snip at $39.
Nor does Madonna's youngest daughter, Mercy, six, want for anything - her mother has indulged her with a silver D&G; Miss Lily for Kids satchel, $235 - just the thing to go with her Stella McCartney for Gap military-style jacket, $128.
Just like Mummy: Angelina Jolie's daughter Zahara carries a child-sized version of her mother's Valentino bag And young Zahara, six, has been seen carrying a child-sized version of the Valentino bag carried by her mother, Angelina Jolie, a generous gift at $1,295.
Even the seemingly childlike accessories carried by six-year-olds Leni Klum and Sam Sheen are pretty pricey.
Expensive tastes: Heidi Klum's daughter Leni, six, carries a bright LeSportsac cross-body bag worth $56 (left), while Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's daughter Violet, also six, prefers an elaborate beaded number (right)The $56 LeSportsac cross-body bag carried by Heidi Klum's daughter Leni only just trumps Charlie Sheen's daughter Sam's $55 Hello Kitty purse.
Charlie's other daughter from his relationship with Denise Richards, Lola, five, has rather more grown-up tastes, preferring to carry a $360 Whiting & Davis hobo.
It is not dissimilar to the beaded creation carried by Violet Affleck, also five, to her ballet class.
It seems there is a wider demand for child-sized It bags too. From Juicy Couture and Jean Paul Gaultier to Marc Jacobs, there are products to cater to every young trendsetter's tastes.

David and Victoria Beckham's eldest son Brooklyn, ten, placed 26th on British GQ's Best Dressed List last year.
And they have a lot to learn from Willow Smith, also ten, who shares a stylist with Rhianna and sits front row at fashion shows.
