One of our least favorite parts about having post-work plans is being forced to schlep a massive work tote from the office to happy hour (or whatever you have on your agenda). Sure, a giant bag is great for housing all your work essentials, but it can be so cumbersome! You can always switch over to a clutch, but who actually remembers to bring one in their carryall? Instead, you need a bag that meets in the middle, and lucky for you, we found just the one!
The Madewell Mini Transport Perforated Leather Cross-Body is the best of both worlds. It’s a scaled-down version of the bestselling Transport Tote, but with zipper closure and less slouch. It has cool perforations throughout the tote and an optional strap you can use to make the bag a cross-body or to sling it from your shoulder. However, the best part is the size. It’s roomy enough to fit a large wallet, a phone and even a makeup bag, but it’s still compact. The purse is available in two colors, a sand and an espresso brown.
Nordstrom shoppers noted that it’s the perfect size and that it’s super lightweight. Many shared that both colors go with everything and that the unlined tote is great for tacking pins to. The best compliment came from one shopper who said that the bag “fits way more than you’d expect!”
See it! Shop the Madewell Mini Transport Perforated Leather Cross-Body Bag for $83.98 (50 percent off from $168)!
