When you're heading out to run a quick errand, you don't need to lug the whole house with you. Most of the time, all you need is your coin purse, cards, phone (which you'll most probably keep in your pockets anyways), keys—a.k.a. the bare necessities. That said, you will still need a tiny bag to keep them all together; definitely doesn't hurt that the micro bag has taken over the trends. We round up the tiniest, cutest, and yep, still functional, mini bags to add to your rotation.
