Compact, lightweight, and easy to tote—these adorable purses were popping up all over the streets and runways of NYFW and will continue to trend through Spring 17. And you guys, what’s not to love? Downsized bags mean you have more versatility in styling, less looking like a bag lady and carrying all that sh*t you don’t need (guilty) and more affordability to rock the designers you love.
I searched Pinterest to find my favorite fall bags and 10 reasons why you should give this trend a whirl. Hope on over to my fall fashion board for extra inspiration. IT’S A FOOLPROOF WAY TO DRESS UP A OUTFIT
Step up your ensemble, effortlessly, by adding a sleek little bag to the mix. Luxe hardware and quality leather will immediately elevate any look.
THE HARDWARE ISN’T SO HEAVY
With larger designer bags the accents can weigh almost as much as the leather. Not so with these smaller options. Full permission to go big with metal details (without feeling weighed down).
IT’S A GREAT WAY TO INVEST IN CLASSICS
Die-hard brand loyalists will find no shortage of tried-and-true options in a smaller size.
IT CAN ADD A QUICK POP OF COLOR
A saturated little handbag acts almost like jewelry. Add it to an already colorful outfit or something more subdued—you can’t go wrong.
IT ALLOWS FOR MORE OPTIONS AND MASHUPS
Playing with two colors on bags can be tricky, but with a mini you can easily colorblock without it taking center stage.
COOL STATEMENT-MAKING DETAILS
We love smaller-scale bags that still say something. A long swathe of fringe? A stark white color accented with black hardware? Winners all around.
IT LETS YOU TRY BOLD COLORS…SAFELY
Scared to go red in a larger, more committal fashion? A smaller version allows you to sample interesting hues in a more manageable format.
Couldn't agree more! Thanks Atsuna!

I'm in love with the Chanel and YSL bag! They're a total classic and I have a soft spot for crossbody bags.
