A young label that started in 2020, Mistry's bags are made using leather that they source ethically and we love the way their designs are minimalist but never basic. Their Selena bag (moon-shaped baguette) was super popular on Instagram and is available in quite a few designs and colours. What's cool is that you can get this particular bag in 3 different sizes - Standard 13", Mini 9" and Mini-mi 6.5" (which I'm considering as a micro bag here). You can even choose which type of strap you want with the bag, whether you want the shoulder strap, broad strap, or both. Another plus is that you can get your initials monogrammed on the bag for free!
