Switching from a mega tote to a small crossbody forced Ethan R. Coleman to hunt for mini versions of everyday must-haves. Amazon delivered with a haul of space-saving finds, every one priced in the single digits.
The Bag That Started It
The Amazon Essentials Minimal Crossbody measures just 10 by 6.5 inches, yet swallows a Kindle, phone, keys, sunglasses, and makeup. Butter-soft faux leather and a wide strap keep it looking and feeling luxe while on sale for $7 (originally $9) in white, black, orange, or snakeprint.

Why They Work
