Bags are one of those accessories I always styled with practicality in mind. I’ve slowly evolved out of this mindset the more I’ve grown my collection and adopted more mini bags in my closet. The mini bag revival began in 2017 with the Jacquemus “Le Chiquito” mini bag on the runway. Designers began creating miniature versions of their signature handbags. This small accessory slowly grew into a big phenomenon that has had several revivals since, including one we’re seeing this season. Good things come in small packages, and while these packages might not even fit my phone and keys, at least they make my outfit look complete. We’ve found our favorites you can carry around this season, and here’s why they should be in your closet:

Le Chiquito Top Handle Bag

This easily has to be at the top of the list for must-have mini bags. This is the bag that started the most recent wave of the mini bag trend. It’s a classic for a reason, the simple design and color works with almost any outfit, whether you dress it up or down. 

Mango Mini Shopper

Even in your simple day-to-day outfits, you can always complete a look with a mini handbag. The mini shopper from Mango is clean and simple, but still looks elevated with the padlock and gold embellishments. 

Coach Tabby Crossbody Wristlet

Coach has seen quite the revival in the last year. The volume and texture from the pillow quilting pattern adds contrast to the petite bag. The pattern is a great way to spice up a simple black crossbody.

Cult Gaia Brielle Wristlet

This wristlet purse is a must-have for your formal events this season. The caged pearl design on the champagne bag feels like a modern take on an elegant design. It’s a great luxury bag to add to your collection.

Madison Mini Flap Crossbody

This fall we’re seeing a revival of many beloved fashion trends from the past, including leopard print. If you’re looking to add a touch of this pattern to any of your looks, the Madison mini flap crossbody from Kate Spade is a great addition to your outfit. Despite being a mini bag, the pattern is bold enough to bring that pop to your looks and can act as a great statement piece for your fall outfits.

The Recycled Nylon Crossbody

Mini bags, by definition, are simply smaller versions of pre-existing bag designs. Everlane’s take on this with a mini duffel bag is such a fun example of this trend. This is great for more casual outings. Either a nice and practical addition to your holiday travels or something to style with your casual look when you’re out running errands.

Mansur Gavriel Mini Mini Sun Bag

Mansur Gavriel has slowly become a new favorite of mine for bags. Their designs are inspired by New York with the craftsmanship of Italy. This mini mini sun bag is a fun twist on the recent bow trend we’ve seen on so many accessories. The metallic fabric makes it more of a statement piece that contrasts the femininity of the bow. This can either be worn as a crossbody or simply held in your hands.

Room Shop Bowie Bag

If you’re looking for a more soft and feminine option for a mini bag, this one from Anthropologie is such a cute piece. What I love about this, aside from the statement bow, is the soft and flowy look of the whole bag. The femininity of it is a great contrast to the shape and volume of the bag, making it fun to carry around with any look. 

Mango Crochet Handbag

Crochet fashion has seen a great revival as many people are picking up this craft as a new hobby. Even if you are’t someone who has joined the crochet bandwagon, odds are you’ve still incorporated the craft into your style because let's face it, it’s such a cute addition to your wardrobe. This crochet handbag from Mango is a great everyday mini handbag to carry around. The soft fabric and and darker brown color embody the coziness of the cooler season, making it a great accessory to your outfit rotation this season.
