7 cute mini-bags under $50 that fit more than a Tic Tac
Last season, when the ultra, ultra mini (like, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it small) Chiquito bag came down the runway at the Jacquemus show during Paris Fashion Week, we were gifted with weeks’ worth of memes as a result. But long after the meme-dust settled, we found ourselves still thinking about the impractical yet stunning handbag. We thought about it so much that we can hardly recall a time when oversized totes were a thing. How did we ever carry those Olsen-esque shoulder bags around all those years? And what do we put in them?
As much as we love the Jacquemus Chiquito mini-bag, we could do with a more affordable price tag. The bag, which is large enough to fit a couple of breath mints, costs a staggering $500. Ouch! We’re not ready to hand over a chunk of our rent for the novelty of a tiny purse, which is why we’ve compiled a list of seven mini-bags under $50, so you can get in on the chic trend for a fraction of the price.
The best part? The mini-bags listed below fit more than just a few Tic Tacs. Most of them may fit a whole cell phone, and maybe a snack. Maybe.
