Finally, a Mini leather crossbody bag designed for real life.

Mini in name only - at 14"W x 14"H, this is anything but tiny. The Mini Lauren has been handcrafted in our Chicago studios since 2012 - a convertible crossbody bag that carries six ways: shoulder bag, crossbody, backpack, foldover shoulder, foldover crossbody, and foldover clutch. One bag that does the work of many.

No mass production. No shortcuts. Built to last decades, not seasons. Just honest craftsmanship from a woman-owned business that believes your everyday pieces should be extraordinary.

This full-grain leather bag gets better every year. Pockets that actually make sense. That signature slouchy, unstructured feel that molds to your body and your life. If you prefer a structured bag, this isn't it. If you love soft, lived-in leather that gets better every single day, you've found your leather crossbody bag.

Because you deserve a bag that works as hard as you do. You'll wonder how you ever lived without her.

Mini Lauren – Organizers dream purse

I have been looking at Mini Lauren handbags for an exceptionally long time. I was fortunate to order this handbag when Brynn was having her special birthday sale. I absolutely love all the pockets on the inside and outside to store my credit cards, lip balm, phone, hand sanitizer, and grocery shopping list. The leather is lightweight and a beautiful blue and made with high quality leather. I love that this handbag can be worn so many ways and comes with two different straps to offer flexibility. I also opted to buy a Lizzy Guitar strap because quite frankly these straps are addictive and add a pop of color to any bag!

This bag is highly functional and gorgeous

This bag is highly functional and gorgeous. The leather is so soft and so beautiful. I love the Mini Lauren when I want to wear it as a backpack. This color goes with everything.

Love it!

I was looking for a bag for travel but not a bulky,deep bottom, never-find-anything bag that I could use downsized also. This is perfect! And the leather is so buttery soft.
Instructions were simple to convert to a backpack.
Just enough pockets.
Hopefully the color doesn’t show that I wear jeans a lot as it is the light grey. Time will tell especially as I will use it everyday. Very pleased!

Absoluely Love !!!!

Exactly what I have been wanting and wishing for :) The leather is so soft and smooth. I bought the Rosarito mini- Lauren and it is the perfect size for every day :) I just ordered the Lauren in woodstock and can't wait to get it for trips that I need something a little bigger :) I love these!

I love to hear that! And not only is it soft and smooth, but super durable with little to no maintenance ❤️ and don't get me started on the color, so season-less!

Wonderful purse!

I absolutely love this purse and its versatility. With all the different ways you can wear it, it can go from casual to work to evening out. Looks great for any situation and so organized. Love the front pockets!! Best purse ever!

Mini Lauren in Rosarito Beach

This may just be the perfect bag! Excellent size, big enough to hold everything but not cumbersome or overwhelming. The color is a gorgeous rich golden tan, and goes with everything! The leather is strong and resilient, but is soft and sumptuous to the touch. In my opinion, there is nothing that this bag cannot do! I love it!

Rosario Beach Mini-Lauren is beautiful!! I love the color, and size of this bag. I looked at this bag for a long time and know it will work great for me.

My Search is Over!!

I’ve been searching FOR YEARS for the perfect bag and I’m delighted to say I finally found it in my new Mini Lauren! I also purchased a tri fold wallet which is also fantastic! The leather is soft and supple (smells great too!), the Bluebell is the perfect blue which actually works as a neutral and matches everything!
Needless to say I have been perusing the website and I see a matching guitar strap in my near future!

I have fallen in love! many times over!

First I fell in love with Brynn Capella's bags, because of their creative designs, sumptuous leather and luscious colors.
THEN Mini-Lauren caught my eye recently as she is gorgeous as well as a true workhorse when needed. We are good friends now because I need her carrying capacity every time we go out and she makes me feel good. I regret to admit that Mini-Lauren" is just the latest in a very long line of Brynn Capella's beautiful bags who have caught my eye and affections. I make no promises as to amended behaviour.
Thanks, Brynn You are the Champ!
BTW, Mini Lauren is handy- she holds Sun glasses, large cell phone, readers, wallet, keys - you name it, she's my trusty helper.

Love it!

The Mini Lauren is the only bag that will stay in my shoulder and I specifically bought it for the backpack feature. I have back issues and most everything I’ve tried causes pain at some point and this bag does not. The leather is soft and color is beautiful!

Love this purse!

Color is rich, leather is soft. Perfect size to fit my wallet, reasonably sized cosmetic bag and phone with lots of room to spare without looking bulky. Quality construction is most apparent. American made. I love it! Thank you Brynn, I'll be returning for another buy!

Merlot Mini Lauren

The color is a rich deep plummy burgundy which I think will make a fabulous year-round color. The feel of the leather is amazing, very plush, very sturdy and strong. It feels very supple and thick enough to last a very long time. It’s big enough to carry everything I need on a daily basis and not look over packed. It is a beautiful bag and I’m very pleased with it.

Perfect!

I have been looking for a replacement for my Kate Spade slouchy backpack for several years. the design of this bag was intriguing in the number of ways it could be worn - including as a backpack. I almost always wear my current back as a backpack but there are occasions when I just want to throw it over my shoulder but the straps aren't arranged in a comfortable way to do that. But this bag! Love the versatility!! It's stylish and comfortable to wear and the backpack is perfect - maybe even a better than my old bag as it it a little lower and doesn't pull on my upper back! Thank you!

Love my mini Lauren!

This is my first-ever purchase, and I couldn’t be happier! My mom and aunt - very tough customers when it comes to handbags! - were really impressed as well; it’s versatile, fashionable, and so beautifully crafted! Looking forward to more Brynn Capella creations in my life!

Gorgeous Bag!

This bag is gorgeous! The color is beautiful and the quality of the construction just blew me away. The vibrant fuchsia lining looks fantastic next to the deep blue leather. The zippers and clasps are great quality and I love all the different ways I can carry this bag. A great addition to my everyday accessories! I just love it!

Seriously- where I’ve these bags/this company been my entire adult life?!

Bag quality is amazing, details are beautiful, customer service impeccable (answered my annoying first time shopper questions with patience and grace), and I’m buying one for my sister and mother, too! So many compliments in just these first few weeks- so excited to have found this company after struggles for years finding the quality USA made purses that are actually stylish! Thank you Brynn Capella!

Year round color!

Rosewood compliments my summer outfits and will give a needed pop of color to the "too many" blacks and grays in my fall/winter wardrobe. Love it!

Perfect.

The leather is gorgeous. Thick, supple but bag is surprisingly light to carry. The workmanship is perfect. The style is versatile. Now I need to try a full size Lauren...and more colors of the mini! Buy American made products.
