Why the Maisie Mini Is the Perfect Party Season Bag
Party season is about saying yes. Yes to after-work drinks, yes to the dinner that turns into dancing, yes to one more before home. What you need is a bag that says yes to all of it too.
That's the Maisie Mini. The smallest bag in our Maisie family, it's compact, secure and wears four different ways, so one bag covers every plan in the diary.
Four ways to wear the Maisie Mini
Most party bags do one thing. The Maisie Mini does four.
1. On the gold chain strap. Clip on the gold chain for the most dressed-up version of the Maisie Mini. It catches the light, looks polished with a party dress and turns a simple outfit into an evening one.
2. On the short strap. Wear it on the shoulder, tucked neatly under your arm. Ideal for dinners, drinks and anywhere you'll be sitting down.
3. Crossbody. Lengthen the strap and wear it across the body. Hands free for a glass, a coat check ticket and the dance floor, and secure enough that you'll stop checking it's still there.
4. As a clutch. Take the strap off and carry it in your hand. Neat, sharp and made for weddings, black tie and sit-down dinners.
Four looks, one bag. That's the reason it earns its place all season.
What fits in the Maisie Mini?
It's a mini bag, but it holds more than you'd expect. At 20cm wide, 13cm high and 8cm deep, it has real depth, which means room for:
- Your purse or cardholder
- Your phone
- Your keys
- Lipstick and a few cosmetics
Everything you need for a night out, and nothing you don't.
Why a mini bag works for party season
It goes where you go. A small bag doesn't get in the way at the bar, on the dance floor or squeezed into a busy restaurant.
It keeps you organised. Less room means less rummaging. Your phone and cards are always right at the top.
It's secure. The Maisie Mini closes with our signature gold twist lock clasp, so it stays shut however busy the night gets.
It suits every outfit. A compact shape works with a sequin dress, a jumpsuit, tailoring or jeans and a good top.
The Maisie Mini in every finish
Gold and silver leather
The party season classics. Gold is warm and festive, and looks especially good with black, burgundy and deep green. Silver is cool and crisp, lovely with navy, grey and anything already covered in sequins. Both are made for Christmas parties and New Year's Eve.

Suede
Soft, rich and made for autumn and winter. The Maisie Mini comes in four suede shades: mink, chocolate, olive and navy. Suede brings texture to a party outfit without the shine, which makes it a good match for velvet, knitwear and satin.
Leather
Our pebble grain leather Maisie Mini comes in a range of shades, from shade to shade. A leather Maisie Mini will see you through party season and every season after it.

Looking after your Maisie Mini
Keep your Maisie Mini in its dust bag between nights out. Wipe leather, gold and silver finishes with a soft, dry cloth. Brush suede gently with a suede brush and keep it out of the rain. Avoid pairing dark suede with very light clothing, as the colour can transfer.
