The mini bag has been the IT item of 2019 but the trend has created a whole new meaning to impractical bags. In this blog post I will show you my top 5 mini bag favourites that you can actually fit your essentials in. A special mention has to go to Lizzo’s tiny Valentino bag she wore to the American Music Awards which was too cute not to mention!
1. Topshop – Cass patient mini bag.
A great option for all patent lovers. Personally, I love styling patent accessories with a simple black outfit as it adds a variation of textures to any outfit. Topshop currently has 20% off shoes and bags meaning this is a bargain at £17.60.

2. ZARA Print mini bowling bag.
I purchased this a couple of weeks ago and I have had so much wear out of it! It really is the perfect size; it easily fits my iPhone 7plus, keys and wallet and at £17.99 you really can’t go wrong. Plus the faux croc finish adds a different twist to the classic black cross body bag. ( I’m wearing this bag in the top photo; if you want a closer look)

3. ZARA gold mini bowling bag
Yes, they also do it in gold! I think this would look so cool with a black outfit to really make a statement, plus, how perfect is this for the festive season. This is definitely on my Christmas wish list!

4. Misguided barrel bag.
This bag gives off serious 90’s Louis Vuitton vibes and to be honest; I love it. Show me anything to do with 90’s fashion and I’m so on board. This barrel bag manages to combine practicality with up to the minute fashion, pair this with a casual outfit such as mom jeans and a polo neck jumper and you’re ready to go. Since starting this blog post this is now in the sale for £15.30; such a great buy!

5. JACQUEMUS Black Le Sac Chiquito mini
Last but by no means least is the bag that brought the mini bag to the forefront of fashion, the JACQUEMUS le sac mini. At £387 it certainly is an expensive purchase considering it could be a passing fashion trend, but even so every handbag lover can’t help but look at this and admire how beautifully finished this bag really is. I would pair this with an oversized long coat and biker boots for a cool street style look, I think the combination of the oversized coat and mini bag would look great.

I hope this blog post gave you some serious bag inspiration, so go on wear your mini bags with pride no matter how impractical they may be, but hey that’s what pockets are for, right?!
