Can a small bag survive in a big city? Of course it can. It can dominate a big city, and that is what it is currently doing. Small, mini crossbody and shoulder bags are the darlings of city and party fashionistas all around the world. Why? Well, let’s break it down through the thought process of my leading man (who doesn’t know much about fashion):
First thought: *oh, wow, that’s beautiful!* — Yes! Perfect compliment! These mini bags are adorable. And they go with any, I repeat, any outfit. You can dress them with jeans, a t-shirt, a suit, a dress, a skirt, an evening out, a cute date, running errands, any place, any time, this bag is there for you. It is pint-sized perfection. In addition, mini bags come in pretty much every color imaginable and you can find them with embellishments, glitter, plain leather, nylon, everything.
Second thought: *hey, can you hold on to ____ for me?* — Ladies, the days of carrying everything for your friend/boyfriend/significant other are limited! Why? You’ve got limited space. So, when he doesn’t want to carry around something (like in my case a phone charger…), you can legitimately say, “sorry, I don’t have enough space.” These mini bags are great for the essentials: a phone, wallet, perhaps a pen, little pack of tissues and a mini bottle of hand sanitizer. If you need more space, though, check out why we also love the tote bag, here.
Third thought: *you paid how much for that?* — Now, my man loves finance, so he thinks about the price. In this case, the mini bag wins. Mini bags, because they are smaller, require less material, and are quicker to make, usually cost significantly less than other, larger bags. Yes, you’re getting less and paying less, but! this bag you can wear everywhere! Additionally, it’s a safer bag because it’s always worn on the body or as a clutch, and it’s not an open bag that a thief could just stick a hand into.
Tip: Navy and burgundy are it colors for the fall. Additionally, they’re very classic colors. Invest in a great mini bag in a classic color (black, brown, navy, burgundy, etc) and have it last a lifetime!
