Is the LBB the Next It Bag?

Signs (and street style) point to yes.

Fendi's Micro Peekaboo bag won hearts worldwide when Cara Delevingne opened the spring show holding the miniaturized classic last September. It was adorable and people wanted to copy the look immediately—except maybe with a bag in a more versatile color than Cara's powder blue…like, say, black. Enter the Little Black Bag (henceforth known as the LBB), which is sort of the perfect bag. While the lack of space may induce a panic attack for over-packers, the LBB fosters practical, less-is-more habits, and can be worn in both casual and formal settings, making it a smart investment. Plus it just looks great (see: Alexa Chung, above, toting one to the Chanel spring 2015 show). Zosia Mamet, Kylie Jenner, and Anne Hathaway have also been spotted wearing their own versions, suggesting these black shoulder and top handle bags that hold little more than your typical evening clutch are really having a moment. To get in on the action, click through 13 of our favorite options on the market.
