The Best Nano Bags that Fit Only (and We Mean Only) the Essentials

1 day ago 2

Bags are more than just a necessary accessory. They are a way to pull your look together and many of them become items worthy of collecting on their own. You’ve got your classic bags like the Goyard tote (which are considered investment pieces), and your affordable beach bags, evening bags, statement bags, bookbags; I could go on and on. In case you haven’t heard, nano bags — small bags designed only to hold your essentials — are incredibly popular.

Nano bags are so popular because they are lightweight and they come in a wide variety of fun designs. With enticing options found in both high- and mass-market fashion, this is a trend worth adding to your collection. Nano bags are easy to carry, which make them perfect for parties or even just for day-to-day errands. The best part? They won’t take up much space in your closet.

What’s a Nano Bag?

Nano bags, also known as micro bags, are miniature-sized accessories designed to hold only your most essential items. Available in a wide variety of colors, materials, shapes and designs, micro bags make a big statement. Lightweight, nano bags are easy to wear and suitable for events or for casual everyday. Nano bags range in price from around $10 at mass-market retailers to thousands of dollars at luxury bag companies. 

When you don’t want a heavy bag, when you don’t need to carry a lot or whether you just want to turn heads, wearing a nano bag is a great choice. Here are some popular micro bags currently available.
