The Mini Version of Your Favorite Designer Bag Is Calling Your Name
:extract_cover():upscale()/2017/07/05/919/n/1922564/aa2e7b0c595d5432e50e16.06129418_edit_img_cover_file_43709564_1499282392.jpg)
I've always been a fan of small bags (shout out to my Givenchy Antigona mini!). I'm aware most of them can only hold the essentials: phone, wallet, keys, and, if I'm lucky, a water bottle. It's a challenge to downsize, for sure, but for the most part I love miniature bags because I don't feel like I'm dragging a dead weight around. Plus, my shoulder needs a break every now and then from my work tote.
But these pint-size designer offerings aren't just practical, they have another perk too: they're usually a few hundred dollars cheaper. For those on a budget, investing in the mini version of your dream bag is not only smart but efficient. You're basically getting the same style for less, and mini bags are infinitely cuter.
