Last year, mini-bags came to the forefront with their compact design, oh-so-cute attitude, and nonchalance towards practicality. So what if you couldn’t fit more than your card and lipstick in it? You looked sharp and chic anyway.
For the holidays, the mini-bags are still around, although not as petite as last season’s counterparts, it still forces the biggest maximalist into some minimalism even if it’s just when it comes to what they carry in their hand. The good thing about small bags is that you can go a bit over-the-top with your outfit or keep it just as pared down because it works either way. If you don’t believe us, just look at how Manila’s fashionable did just that.
Liz Uy
Liz sported a small bag in her Buro247 Malaysia feature in an animal print but also had a simple black Marc Jacobs one in tow for her everyday essentials.
Camille Co
That pop of red in Camille’s Gucci bag is what creates a little twist to her understated dress-over-shirt look.
Gabs Gibbs
It still pays to follow a few style rules such as coordinating your accessories: black sneakers and a slim shoulder bag make sure Gabs’ style game is badass.
Patricia Prieto
A simple round Gucci bag is a bit of a throwback to the old aesthetic of the revived label. Still, it hints at that effortless and “could-care-less about trends” charm.
Laureen Uy
A flower-like pattern on a maroon shoulder sling? That’s all things yes from Laureen who shared her bag choice while in the UK.
