Tano abandons its usual colorful crunch leather for a modern metallic with this Mini Me Cross-Body Bag.

I'm not usually a fan of metallic leathers, but this one is much mellower than most. The silver hue is quite subtle with just a hint of ...

Nicole Lee puts a playful spin on high-end style with this Adela mini bag.

The Adela's simple pouchette shape and front flap with its turn-lock closure are obvious homages to leading designer purses. But Nicole Lee's exaggerated features give this purse its point of difference. The ...

The fashion world may be looking ahead to spring, but Lucky Brand lets us hold on to winter for a little longer with this Taluca Lake cross-body bag.

The Taluca Lake brings a cold weather feel to Lucky Brand's bohemian vision. The ...

At its heart this is a classic leopard print purse, with a traditional frame and kisslock clasp. The orange body is complemented by a smattering of faceted plastic gems. ...

Abas helps us carry the essentials in style with this Terry mini cross-body bag.

Exotic embossing is so hard to get right but Abas nails it every time. The glossy python finish on the Terry is no exception. I'm particularly fond of the subtle mottling of this Grecian ...

Ever on trend 7 Chi serves up its take on vintage fashion with this Donna Mini Bag.

I'm surprised to see 7 Chi creating a bag so conservative, but with retro styling continuing to dominate the catwalks perhaps it's not so much of a ...

Brahmin gives us all the features we love in a tote bag in miniature form with this Mia Mini Bag.

Before you get up in arms about the material, the Mia's made of croc-embossed leather rather than authentic crocodile. I won't get into the ethics of killing cows ...

Valextra's created the sort of handbag I dream about with this mini Boston duffel.

I've always found the classic styling and clean lines of a Boston bag a bit boring, but Valextra's made me reevaluate my stance. The secret is that luxury alligator skin, ...

Romygold reminds us that black leather and metal studs aren't the only keys to rebel chic with this Biker Slash tote.

The checkered finish and ...

Moschino embraces its feminine side with this Corsage Mini Shoulder Bag from its Cheap & Chic collection.

Let's get one thing out of the way first. Like everything from the Cheap & Chic line, it is far from cheap. At a little ...

JJ Winters reminds us that sometimes you can have too much of a good thing with this Mini Fringe cross-body bag. I don't mind a little fringing in moderation, but this is overkill.

Thank goodness this is a mini bag. Can you imagine how much fringing ...

I've often accused Foley + Corinna of resting on its laurels. Many of its handbags seem interchangeable, so I was thrilled to see the label branching out with this Bitty Biker Bag.

This very cute moniker very aptly describes what we get ...

Donna Sharp serves up more of the same, but on a smaller scale than we've seen, with this Mini Connie bag.

There's nothing wrong with clinging so fiercely to a design vision, of course. It's a great way to build brand loyalty, as fans can rely ...

I haven't always warmed to Anushcka's hand-painted bags, but this adorable Mini Multi-Pocket Flap Satchel has enough charm to win me over.

In many ways it doesn't stray too far away from Anuschka's formula. The watercolor painted design is familiar, as is the pebbled leather. But I love ...

I thought Orla Kiely was all about colorful retro prints on canvas, but the designer’s proved me wrong with this striking Posy purse. It's like nothing I've ever seen before, and there's not a hint of patterned flowers in sight.

I'm bowled over by ...

Whiting & Davis puts a glam twist on an old favorite with this Mini Twisted hobo.

The Sweet Charity line is one of Louboutin's most popular. It's no wonder why, either, because all the bags in it are classic and beautiful. I'm glad to see, though, that Louboutin is taking a few more risks in terms of materials. The result is ...

For a while now I've worried that Miu Miu's accessories may be blending into the background. They were perfectly polite, but they didn't seem to rev me anymore. But there's no danger of this mini flap shoulder bag being ignored!

The starburst ...

Mellow World takes the edge off the studded trend with this Mini Pearls handbag.

Rather than metal studs, this handbag is decorated with elegant pearl-like domes in the same gentle gray as its leatherette body. They're not quite as mini as the bag's name ...

The Disco City mini bag from Foley & Corinna takes a favorite brand design (that curved handle and long shape) and applies it to a mini bag format. The result? An unusual looking purse with enough added glamour to really make ...

I always mean to put away some money for a rainy day, but sadly my pay seems to dry up long before the storms hit. Perhaps if I had a coin purse like this cute Lulu Guinness Rainy Day Fun clutch ...

Foley + Corinna's created a purse that's small in stature but big on features with this Half Pint Pac Bag.

Honestly this purse put me offside with its colorblocked finish. I've never really been a fan of this retro look, and the ...

Seriously this color has sucked me in. It's poppy and youthful without being juvenile, a fresh shade sure to stand out in a sea of black, brown, ...

I can just imagine the secretaries in Mad Men carrying this darling mini purse to the office, and then to the bar for after work cocktails. That gunmetal leather is ...

Coach does away with its famous signature prints for this sleek Mia Mini Maggie Purse. Personally, I think it's a better bag for it.

Some Coach fans may like to carry around those telltale C covered handbags, but fashion is moving towards a more ...

Mini bags get a bit of a mixed reception in the handbag world. They often try to be too many things, and the risk is that the designer tries to cram everything from a normal sized purse into a mini version.

The Malis mini tote is ...

Pink Studio proves that the best things often come in small packages with this stylish Nepal mini bag.

It's called a mini, but it's not as delicate as so many bags with this title. Its boxy, compact shape seems more sturdy and rugged, giving the impression ...

Vintage art deco meets high tech fashion with this unique Chevron mini bag from Australian luxury label Oroton.

I've never seen anything quite like this purse, and when you look at as many bags as I do that's saying something. The metal details have an art ...

We've seen Donald J Pliner weave its magic in many larger bags. Now with the Seeyu pouch, the fashion house shows us what it can do on a smaller scale.

Most small bags tend to be made for evenings out, but Donald J Pliner ...

The basic black leather is punched up with metallic embroidery. The blue and silver stitched diamonds have a ...

Burberry has decided to have some fun with its traditional plaid print with this Mini Haymarket Splash Studded Sling Bag.

That name is an awful mouthful, so let me break it down for you. Haymarket is that classic Burberry check we've all come to know and ...

Antik Batik gives us luxury for considerably less than many big name designers with this Pampa Mini Bag. Given its lovely taupe toned snakeskin body, I was pleasantly surprised to see it priced at just $345.

Of course we're not getting a lot of bag for our dollar, ...

After lusting after so many quirky handbags from Alexander McQueen, I was surprised to see this Mini Book clutch amongst the late designer's last collection. It's just so traditional and reserved; it's hard to believe it came from the same man that gave ...

I'm not always the greatest fan of metallic leather, particular on daytime handbags, but this purple shade known as concord is just too ...

7 Chi has given us a purse that's right on trend, and on budget, with this Mally mini shoulder bag.

Rather than a traditional flap design, 7 Chi gives us pretty stitching and ruched details. It's a lot to take in, but in this gentle gray-black shade it ...

I've been a bit critical of Ugg Australia bags in the past, preferring to keep my Uggs on my feet at home rather than to step out carrying them. But with this small cross-body bag, I think I've found an Ugg Australia accessory ...

There was a time where it seemed handbags were getting bigger and bigger, to the point where they threatened to dwarf us all. Now it seems the pendulum has shifted, and I'm enjoying the more compact charms of bags like this McLane Mini from Tory ...

Salvatore Ferragamo delivers plenty of shine and style with this playful Miss Vara Bow Bag.

I can definitely imagine Minnie Mouse carrying this bright red patent leather purse. The iconic cartoon character would certainly appreciate the purse's miniature mouse-sized stature and its oversized grosgrain ribbon bow. ...

You don't need to be a dab hand in the kitchen to work this Mini Chef bag from Fendi.

Its name doesn't make a lot of sense until you imagine this bag turned upside down. With its domed shape, gentle pleats, and wide band this bag could easily double as a chef's ...

Carlos Falchi can effortlessly add style to any evening ensemble with this head-turning Pearlized Python Mini Clutch.

Don't let its name concern you; it might be called a mini but it's much larger than many evening bags. It's no heavyweight, don't get me wrong, but it's long enough to accommodate your party ...

After the bold design of its Boston Tie-Dyed satchel, the classic colors of 7 Chi's Jen Mini Shoulder Bag took me by surprise. But look a little harder and it's easy to spot the brand's typical modern style.

While its silhouette looks traditionally boxy from a distance, the Jen is all ...

If you're looking for an affordable alternative to Chanel's classic quilted flap purses, feast your eyes on the Bea bag from Big Buddha.

Of course, for $80 you'll never find the same level of luxury that Chanel offers. But the looks of this quilted nylon alternative definitely take their cues from the ...

When I think Juicy Couture I think of velour fabrics and plenty of pink. I definitely don't picture the kind of conservatism that we find in this Cape Mini Satchel.

If I hadn't seen the tag myself, I never would have known that this was a Juicy Couture creation. It's just so ...

Travelon has been taking care of our travel needs for almost 30 years. The label's at it again with the Mini Independence Bag, an accessory which takes control of our cosmetics and toiletries.
