Mini bag haters, shield your eyes. As fall arrivals come in left and right, designers have somehow found even more bags to shrink down, including a bunch that had somehow escaped the mini treatment in the past. They must have been hiding.
Thankfully, not all of the bags approach “micro” status like the much talked-about Fendi Peekaboo; while some are too tiny for the larger smartphones on the market, some are merely new, smaller additions to lines that had previously only consisted of fairly large bags. Check out the new arrivals below and let us know in the comments if you’ll be shopping for a tiny bag any time soon.

Mini bags, full sized pricing 🙂
I won’t be paying a maxi price for a mini bag !
Not as cute as the last round of micro bags
Love the Gucci, but at that price point I might as well get the bigger one
These are cute but just not for me. Missarewa is correct. You can get a full sized Gucci for the price of that mini and in leather!
Haha, Nordstrom on the SDJ: 5 ½”W x 4 ¼”H x 2 ¾”D. (Interior capacity: small.)
On Monday around noon I bought the Chloe Marcie in the small size, took it back around 3pm and got the larger bag. The small one was so cute, but I felt like carrying even the most minimum amount of items would be a huge hassle. And i am only talking cell phone, keys, small card wallet and some concealer/lipgloss. Once I got it all in there it was so stacked on itself, I had to take items out just to reach everything. So for me, the tiny bags would only be for evening and are just not practical for regular use. But I love how darling they are. I would buy them all just for fun if I could afford it!
Ha!I have the opposite issue, I have the med and now I’m coveting the small Marcie;)
Damn you, shrink ray gun! *shaking fist in the air*
Love this lol
What about subverting the dominant paradigm? The mini Loewe would make a beautiful potpourri sachet. Wear a teensy Sac over each hand and you’ve got a very chic pair of oven mitts for only slightly over $2.5k. Flower pots, flasks, pouches for gold doubloons, etc.
Lemme borrow that ray gun for a sec for my tummy and thighs.
The prices…..
I have a Kate Spade Mini Maise and that’s the smallest I’ll go. For awhile I was debating over the Mini Rockie, but eventually decided the Rockie has a longer lasting power. Although I love my KS and micro bags are adorable, I’m pretty tired of seeing them and most recently I purchased a Rebecca Minkoff Palo Alto crossbody (exactly the same as the discontinued Mac Daddy). It’s huge on me but so refreshing to look at, and actually useful.
This is a pure and simple money grab by the luxury conglamorates.
Very hard to see that they are mini because they look identical to their full-size versions. Love the Ferragamo ! My mother used to wear Ferragamos exclusively. It’s nice to see the bags paying homage to those little bow flats.
I think the shrink ray missed the price tag ????
