A slight impractical cloud may hover over the best mini handbags, but don’t let that rain on your fashion parade. Like the stylish clutches, teensy handhelds, tiny crossbodies, and so-small shoulder bags may be little and capable of containing not much more than a lipstick and credit card. But plenty of great things come in small packages—like dazzling diamond earrings or a gorgeous ring, for instance—and baby bags are no different. Besides, paring things down to the strict essentials makes life that breezier whether you’re dressing for errands, a party, or a weekend adventure around town. And let us not dismiss the dopamine-dressing urge to wear things that boost moods and spark smiles—joy is unquestionably the best reason to invest in any trend, with teeny handbags being one of them.

The best minis pack a major punch, from Jacquemus’s cult Le Chiquito to Prada’s shrunken nylon Re-Edition 2000 and Balenciaga’s nano Neo Classic City bag. Supersaturated tones and pastel shades stand out against neutral attire for a playful touch but look equally great with vibrant colors and prints for bolder moments. Of course, fail-safe black, white, and tan tinies look great with minimalist outfits when channeling the ’90s and aughts. Meanwhile, bedazzled designs and woven takes are made for pairing with party and vacation looks, respectively—two occasions where outfits are well documented and worthy of detailed accessory shots. To get your mini fix, keep scrolling to discover Vogue’s edit of the best mini bags to shop now.

An adorably small crossbody bag is the easiest way to master the mini-handbag trend. Toss one on with athleisure or denim for errands—you’ll love the near-weightless and hands-free ease while on the go.
