Fashion High Five: We’ve Got This Trend In The Bag… Literally! Micro Bags For Under €50

Bag trends come and go from the look-at-me it bags of before to the understated designs by Celine that we're currently lusting after. And while there’s definitely a place for a timeless handbag in everyone’s wardrobe you can still afford to experiment with new looks.

The latest addition to the handbag family is the fun-sized mini bag. We’re all guilty of cluttering up our bags with what we’ll admit is mostly useless bits and bobs but the genius of the micro bag is that you really will have no choice but to whittle it done to just the essentials. No excuses ladies.

So here’s our edit of the best on the high street and they all come in at less than €50. Hooray!

This slim box clutch is really going to test your ability to carry only those necessary items – phone, lippy, compact mirror and cash. We heart its vintage inspired ways so much we’re prepared to make that compromise.

Multi-coloured glitter too dressy for daywear you say? Never! We love the combo of a casual chic outfit with one standout glamorous accessory.

 

Bag, €37, Oasis

It might be mini but oh boy is it perfectly formed. You could very well be looking at the holy grail of handbags – no exaggeration! Just big enough to possibly squeeze your diary into we’re lusting after this leopard lovely in a big way.

Bag, €39.95, Zara

We're charm fans in the Her.ie office so immediately this handbag caught our attention because of those gold interlocking horseshoes. The equestrian look and the colour oxblood are big news this season so this little number ticks both trend boxes.

Bag, €30.50, ASOS

Ok, so we are cheating a wee bit, as this is technically a purse. However we think that studded strap means we'd just about get away with using it as a clutch!
