Mini bags: the must-have accessory for SS17

Mini bags are the fashion pack’s latest obsession when it comes to accessories. Just big enough to fit the bare essentials (phone, keys, card holder and lipstick, naturally) these bags are as teeny-tiny as they come. But don’t be fooled, these little darlings are packed full of detail and interest to make sure they pack a punch when it comes to style credentials. Click through our gallery to see how you can incorporate this SS17 trend into your wardrobe right now!
