Mini Backpacks You Need in Your Life

Hi friends! I shared on my Instagram story last week that I’d been on the hunt for a cute and affordable designer mini backpack to use as an everyday bag. I was going for a similar vibe as the Louis Vuitton Palm Springs backpack at a fraction of the price (you won’t catch me buying a $2,000 bag anytime soon) and found one I really love. Keep reading for mini backpacks you need in your life (okay, “need” may be an exaggeration — but we’ll go with it) for on-the-go year-round.

Did I need another backpack? No. I have a black Fiorelli one that I got from TJ Maxx last year that I absolutely love, but I wanted to get one in an even smaller size because I’d fallen in love with the look of it. I decided to go for the Michael Kors one (similar ones are linked below) I’m shown wearing in this post, 1) because it’s cute and has that logo pattern I was going for, and 2) it was discounted down to only $80, and 3) it’s called the “ABBEY” bag — it was meant to be, right?!

I’ve been loving wearing it around and the long, thin straps make it super comfy to wear, especially over big coats in the winter lately. A fun feature to keep in mind is straps that are detachable, allowing you to wear the bag crossbody as well. That was another big thing I was looking for and was so glad that this MK one does it!

I definitely recommend this one because the quality is great and I know it’s going to be durable + worth its full monetary value, even though I got it super discounted. They had one left of this style at the Greenwood, IN TJ Maxx location as of last weekend, so hurry and check there if you’re interested! If the TJ Maxx near you doesn’t have this bag currently, keep checking back because they get a lot of Michael Kors items circulated through pretty consistently. Spend smart! Below are some of my picks ranging from under $50 to under $300 depending on what your budget is.

Alright, I think that’s enough backpack-related posts for this week… 😉  Which one is your favorite? Do you already own one you really love? Let me know! Thanks for stopping by & have a fun weekend! A new YouTube video and blog post will be up on Monday that I think you guys will really love!
