I have yet to decide on my perfect mini bag for fall, and I’m still actively taking applications. I know that I have to have one (and really, they’re perfectly functional for me – all I ever carry is my keys and my Blackberry), and I think I may have found a strong candidate in the Junior Drake Pleated Mini Bag.

This bag in particular has a few things working in its favor. First, the leather looks amazing. Soft, supple, touchable, and saturated with color. I rarely find myself motivated to buy a bag that doesn’t fit that description, and this one exemplifies all of the qualities that those words describe. It also comes in several great colors, from the non-traditional navy and purple to the more staid and neutral blacks and browns.

Yes, the bag might be a little too trendy for some people, but it also has one last great advantage: the sub-$100 price. For that, who cares if it looks a bit dated in a year? You’ll be on to something new by then anyway. Buy through Nordstrom for $98.

I think it's adorable. I wish I could use such a little bag.

It's cute!

I love it! But it is too small for my needs. I hope this style has a larger size version.

I LOVE my Drake bag! It's my fave.. and it always will be :) I'll try to find a pic of it!

I'll give them credit for doing something a little different with the bow belt, but other than that, this doesn't interest me.

Found it! I bought this one about a year ago..
They're really great bags if you've never had one.Mine is like a burgandy/wine color. So amazing in person!

There's a bronze one of these on the bay right now.

Omfg, I just bought that bag last Friday, and it came yesterday! I love it too! The Nicola tote! I got it in the bronzy color on Ebay from the same seller you may be referring to; he used to have two, but I got one of them.

Isn't it amazing!?? It's so big.. I love it. I use the cross body strap the most. Another lady on here awhile back won the same bag but in black. I'd like to have the black one to :) Post pics please!!?? :)

I like the OPS bag to!!

Love this bag!

Cute clutch! Would love it in RED, but unfortunately it appears they don't have it

. I adore the price tag too, def gonna look it into it. I also carry small items too (phone, keys and a small wallet). So this bag works for me. She's adorable.
