Wherever you go—whether it’s the office, the mall, or a travel destination—you’ll need a bag to keep all your stuff in. It’s even on our list of what to bring this coming long vacation.

Many of you would choose your trusty handbags or sling bags to do that job for you. But where’s the love for mini backpacks? You can throw all your essentials in it minus the bulkiness, and it’s not a hassle to carry since it straps evenly on your back. As Fashionista notes, “It’s the bagsher of keeping your belongings on your person at all times while also being hands-free.”

Think about it: do you want to balance a handbag at all times, or opt for a small backpack when needed? We’ll let the mini backpacks we picked do the talking.


1. Denim backpack is a great match to your white shirt and jeans combo. Its big front pocket will also be useful for your small knickknacks and makeup items. Especially when you’re traveling and don’t have time to dig into your hand carry. 
2. Planning to attend a music festival? Add a summer vibe to your look with Mango’s Embroidered Studded Backpack. It has enough space to hold your water bottle, extra shirt, and other stuff. It also has an inner zipped pocket to keep your valuables in while you’re dancing around. 
3. If you want to keep it low-key but still keep the colorful embroidery, opt for the Fendi Embroidered Leather Backpack. Despite its small size, you can still fit your tablet, makeup purse, and big wallet in it. 
4. For something more over-the-top, go for the Street Style Faux Leather Backpack in Disco. The silver foiled color will shine at any party. You can also use this at the mall if you feel like giving your outfit.
5. Braided Backpack reminds me of traditional abaca chairs. It’s simple and dainty, perfect for work and play. 
6. Admit it: Sometimes you don’t know what bag to use when going to work or events. Don’t fret as the Suede and Leather Mini-Faye Backpack can be interchanged to a sling or handbag in seconds. Its golden yellow motif is a good pop of color to your monochromatic workwear. 
7. Looking for a “strictly for work” bag? The Mini Backpack from Something Borrowed has a plain navy blue color with silver metal rings. A chic, no-frills choice for any workplace.
