This Is the Only Purse You Need Right Now
1/17If we could give you just one solid piece of advice for traveling this summer, it would be not take a checked bag. Pack light, carry on, be ruthless in your editing and don’t bring multiple handbags. Bags are a huge space-waster and truth be told, you only need one: The mini crossbody bag.
Accessory designers like Rebecca Minkoff and Sophie Hulme have been getting ever more creative and playful within the (literally) tiny market of mini bags, using fun shapes and adornments to make these small bags a big trend for Spring 2016. Now, bright colors, tassels, fringe and embroidery details can be found on bucket bags, shrunken satchels, envelope bags at every price point.
The mini crossbody bag is perfect because there’s room for the essentials you need like your key, lipstick, phone and ID, and allows you to be hands free as you dance all night and explore flea markets by day. Just be sure that if you’re in an unfamiliar city or country your bag has a secure closure like a flap or zipper — and keep your bag resting on the front of your body.
Whether you’re in the mood for punchy colors, bohemian vibes or a sleek little bag that can be worn long after your tan lines have faded, there’s a mini crossbody bag to suit your style. Ahead shop our favorites from & Other Stories, Zara, Cambridge Satchel Co and more.
