Read on for the details on each mini purse, or shop the collection if you already know your pick.
The genuine leather mini purse
Asha Mini Tote, Moss
This is the only fully leather mini purse in the collection. No print, no pattern, just leather that ages well and gets better with use.
Best for: anyone who wants their mini purse to be about the material itself. It pairs with almost everything and works for both day and evening.
The bold print mini purse
Asha Black Print Mini Tote
Like the other canvas styles in this mini purse range, this one has a canvas body, organic cotton lining, and leather accents. The print is graphic and confident, a mini purse built to be a statement piece rather than a background bag.
Best for: if your everyday bag is usually plain and you want one mini purse that does the talking.
The everyday mini purse
Asha Black Mini Bag
Same canvas-and-leather-accent construction as the rest of the print range, in solid black. This is the mini purse to reach for when you want the shape and function without a pattern to match around.
Best for: the mini purse you grab without thinking, that works with everything already in your wardrobe.
The floral mini purse
Asha Amber Petal Mini Tote
Canvas body, organic cotton lining, leather accents, finished in a warm floral print. Softer and more decorative than the Black Print mini purse.
Best for: adding warmth to a neutral outfit, or as a gift for someone whose style leans feminine and expressive.
Mini purse materials, at a glance
- Moss: genuine leather throughout

Every mini purse in this collection is handcrafted in Kenya, made in small batches rather than mass runs.
Choosing your mini purse by who it's for
Buying a mini purse for yourself, for daily use: The Black Mini Bag or Moss. Both are built to be your one grab-and-go mini purse, not a special-occasion-only piece.
Buying a mini purse as a gift: Any of the four work well here, since this mini purse collection is designed for exactly that: small enough to feel considered, distinctive enough to feel personal. Amber Petal or Black Print tend to read as the most obviously gift-like mini purse options if you want something with visual impact straight out of the box.
Already own a Miriam Bella piece, adding a mini purse next: A mini purse is an easy next addition. If your existing piece is leather, Moss will feel familiar. If you already have a printed espadrille or bag, one of the canvas mini purse options will feel like part of the same wardrobe.
Still deciding on your mini purse?
There's no wrong choice here. All four mini purses are built the same way underneath: hand-finished, small-batch, made by the same team of artisans in Kenya. The difference between them is entirely about what you want to look at and carry, not which mini purse is "better" made.
