The Saddle bag first came on the scene in the 90s/early 2000s, popularized by “it girls” such as the infamous Carrie Bradshaw and Naomi Campbell.

The Miniest of Minis

 Louis Vuitton Speedy HI Monogram Mini Multicolor Black

The early 2000s called, they want their multicolor LV x Murakami mini back! Although this bag can most likely only fit a Lancome Juicy tube and MAYBE a credit card, the aesthetic alone is well worth it. This bag dates back to Japanese artist Takashi Murakami’s Spring/Summer 2003 runway collab with Louis Vuitton. Whether you decide to pair this baby bag with a tee and jeans or a mini dress, Paris Hilton would certainly approve.
