It might be early to start gambling on the new It trends for fall 2019, but mini shopping tote bags are one trend we're betting major money on. Although we are still a few months away from the fall/winter season, designers both old and new have been putting forth the cutest new mini bags we ever did see. Each is reminiscent of a shopper-style tote bag—but shrunken. If you're one of those "everything looks cute when it's mini" kind of people, then prepare to freak out over all these mini totes you're about to see.

Since this is a trend that is certainly still bubbling, there are naturally a few brands that are owning the space (for the time being). One of them is a newer handbag brand we love dearly, Medea. It was named one of the members of the new class of designer bags not too long ago, so the fact that the name is now leading this particular trend space is exciting, to say the least. Don't worry—affordable retailers like Urban Outfitters and Pixie Market have also begun to jump on the mini-shopper-tote trend, which means come fall, our options will be endless.
