25 Mini Bags That Make A Big Statement

I’ve been an avid mini bag collector for as long as I can remember. In addition to being a statement piece, a tiny bag is also a talking point — with people constantly inquiring about what you can actually fit in one. I love convincing them just how practical they can be because, while mini bags can feel extra, they also serve a real (albeit minimalist) function of holding all your essentials. I am also not alone in my love of tiny bags, the style has been a bonafide trend for a while now. Although there were predictions that the mini bags trend would fizzle out, luxury designs like those from Jacquemus and Prada have continued to trickle down to our favorite retail stores and online shopping sites.With over 20 small but mighty handbags in my collection — some that I use daily and some that I simply admire — I've become a tiny purse connoisseur. I'm constantly on the hunt for kitschy and funky options, searching the internet for the best chic and compact purses that I'd personally like to add to my wardrobe.Tag along if you want to see my top picks for trendy bags across an array of unique designs, fabrics, and colors. Opting for mini, micro, and nano-size styles, I've meticulously made selections that are no more than eight inches tall or wide. From Reformation's first handbag line to Coachtopia's Y2K options to a juicy (you'll see!) pick from Amazon, each of these tiny purses promises to elevate your style and scale back your clutter.All linked products are independently selected by our editors.
