Should You Invest in a Mini Designer Bag?

When shopping for bags, it is usually important to make sure that the bag you choose has enough room for all of the things you want to carry - whether it be your day to day stuff in a day bag, or the essentials you’ll need while out for the night in an evening bag. However, often the prettiest and cutest designs are the mini sized bags - the size below small that a lot of designers feature as an option in their collection. These smaller pieces can often really show off the design, and can look so beautiful that you may just be tempted to take them home in place of their larger cousins. Naturally, the mini sizes also often cost a bit less than the bigger versions, which may mean you can afford to add a designer bag to your collection more often if you choose them! 

If you often feel tempted by sophisticated mini bags, then really, it’s worth considering how you might be able to get the most use out of them. Here, we take a look at three ways you can make these smaller bags a bigger part of your wardrobe, without sacrificing practicality:

Have Two Bags Ready to Go

Most people tend to rotate between day bags periodically, using the same one for everything for a while then switching to a different one and migrating their everyday stuff to the next bag. With a mini bag, there will probably be times when the bag won’t be big enough for what you’re going out to do, but there are also probably a lot of times when you leave the house with far more stuff than you need just because it lives in your day bag. It’s a good idea to have two bags ready to go - a larger one for if you need to take bigger things like your tablet out with you, or you’re going out all day and want to bring things like a make-up bag and hairbrush to refresh your look during the day, and a smaller one for those more usual trips out where you only really need things like your phone, wallet and keys, which will fit just fine in the mini bag.

Choose Mini Bags for Evening

Mini bags can be the best choice for your evening, party and formal looks, as their more dainty style makes them good accessories for more glamorous outfits, and because you generally don’t need to carry much when going out in the evening. This means you can choose mini bags in gorgeous evening styles, like some of the beautiful items in the latest Gucci bags collection. You can find a mix of Gucci’s mini handbags at SSENSE, which is also an amazing place to find the newest bags from all of fashion’s most iconic brands. 

Cut the Clutter

The third thing to think about is that really, many of us carry an awful lot of stuff we don’t actually need in our bags, and as well as this limiting us to big, bulky bag designs, it’s also bad for our health to be carrying unnecessary weight on our shoulders every day. If you go through the stuff in your day bag and realize that most of it could be left at home or even thrown away, then you may well be able to streamline what you’re carrying down to something a mini bag will accommodate easily.

Mini bags are fun to shop for and gorgeous to wear, so why not start making them an option you include more often using these ideas?
