Small HandBags are Making a Come back at UConn

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Conn chapter.

For a while, large bags and totes had taken over all other types of handbags. Recently, small handbags have made a come back. The phrase “less is more” is used constantly in the fashion industry, so UConn girls are applying it to handbags. This semester, the ladies of UConn have set a new trend with their smaller bags. Several lady huskies reported that they like smaller handbags because they are classy and do not take away from the outfit, as larger purses often do. Others said the smaller the purse, the easier it is to find everything from your keys to your lip-gloss. Small bags are convenient and cute, what’s not to love?
