Classic bucket bags have been a mainstay sack silhouette for awhile now (Louis Vuitton's classic style was introduced in 1932, crafted to carry Champagne bottles no less!). Practical and roomy, with a casual vibe that makes them perfect for toting all that and an extra pair of heels, they're a good choice on a day when you're headed out early and won't be back until late. But what if you just want to carry one for a spot of afternoon shopping or to meet a girlfriend for lunch? Enter the mini version, with the same classic-preppy vibe but, simply, shrunken.
The larger-size Cynnie sling has had its moment (did you see it on Lauren Conrad), and now its pint-size version ($445) is here to play.
The preppy staple is ready for the downtown set thanks to a dose of studs on this black-on-black find ($330).
Coach's classic duffle shape is adorable and just as practical in a tinier version ($198).
End the search for a basic style that still stands out — Kate Spade Saturday's tiny bucket bag ($95) is the smart find that gives you both in one.
Smaller surface area doesn't mean you have to scrimp on the logo. MCM's offering ($745) has plenty of space for initials and golden studs.
The Phillip Lim accessory magic is on display here, too, with the angular bottomed Scout crossbody ($750).
Mini doesn't mean it's humble! Moschino's crisp white bag ($1,050) got its bling by way of golden letters.
The already-cute style ($30) gets even sweeter done in bright hot pink.
The pebbled leather of this tiny find ($265) make it look like a piece you've been using (and loving) for years.
Is it just us, or do the buckles and zips on this small Saint Laurent ($1,495) give off the same cool vibe as a motorcycle jacket?
We spotted this cute little guy ($295) from Loeffler Randall's Spring lineup months and months ago and finally (finally!) can shop it now.
For Spring 2014, Louis Vuitton took its classic Noe bag down a notch or two, introducing this unarguably adorable size ($1,640).
