Our beloved big bag currently carrying our wallet, diapers, hand lotion, baby wipes, tax returns, four sets of sunglasses and 13 lip glosses may not currently be on trend, but we don't care - you'll have to pry it from our cold, dead hands.
Even so, you can't deny mini-bags are all the rage, some able to carry little more than a Burt's Bees and a WIFI password we've scribbled on a torn off corner of a napkin.
