Which mini bag for work tote?

[Greentea]

I attend many events and conferences where I bring my LV Damier Neverfull for my laptop or work materials. I need a small bag to keep inside the tote to pull out for dinner or drinks or times where I throw the tote in my trunk and just want to have a tiny bag to run around with. I’ve been using my ancient damier pochette accessories but I am sick of it and it’s seen better days. Better as a catch-all.
I currently own the Porcelain Rose Super Mini But that’s a tad too small and delicate for this purpose. My black balenciaga mini city is good but the strap is so big and thick, it is a mess inside the tote all day.


Which of these do we like for my grab and go? I want timeless and functional and one bag that can do many things...
Thank you!

Out of these two, I’d suggest a Marmont.
But if I were you, I’d say a WOC.

Both look nice but I think the marmont would be more versatile as it could double as a dressier bag too, if needed. Whereas the GG patterned one looks casual-only.

I am leaning that way! Thank you

A woc is on my list too but I need one that will hold sunnies and portable charger

But then again, if you already have more dressier bags it's always nice to have something more "carefree"-looking too!

I was about to recommend the dionysus woc, I have it myself and it fits way more than you would think, but after your update I'm not sure it would be enough for your needs.

I use a Louis Vuitton PA in my laptop bag

ETA: apologies, I should add if you’re sick of the DE, maybe the mono is an option? I have a mono, and with a gold chain, it looks reasonably dressy.

If you want functionality I would recommend the ophidia GG small bag. It's not as small as the mini bags (I tried to fit my moms iPhone 7 plus and it's a tight squeeze). You can fit all your essentials in it without feeling the bag will bulge out and look funny. It's a slim classic GG if you like the canvas if course. There are other materials as well.

I would buy the mono PA if I could get one - I am mad at LV right now lol

Thank you all for the advice!

I would choose the Marmont bag. Please let us know what you decided.

Will do!
