We’ve seen the return of the mini bag, as well as Daniel Lee’s oversized rendition of the Bottega Veneta Arco bag. We look into these extremes and everything else in between. Here’s are bags that can cover all bases – those that can carry small change, and others that pack in half your wardrobe. Pick your poison!
