They may be palm-sized or slightly larger. Some brands also use the term 'micro bags' to mean the same as mini bags, however, micro bags may be much smaller in size. Compared to a clutch, a mini bag has a proper handle and/or strap.
Generally, rucksacks are smaller than regular backpacks specifically because of their design. Their capacity ranges from 15-30 liters, they often have several external pockets, and some even feature a laptop sleeve inside (like the one in the photo).

The bite-sized bag craze over the last few years can be traced back to French fashion designer Simon Porte Jacquemus, who unveiled his now-ubiquitous three-inch handbag, the Le Chiquito, at the spring-summer 2018 show for his namesake brand.
A few things to keep pre-packed are headphones, headband/hair tie, gym card, chapstick, refreshing face spray and face cleansing wipes (in a travel size). Back to the basics, it is no surprise that smaller pouches are great for holding spare change.
Fanny packs and mini backpacks were all the rage in the '90s, and it looks like they want to shine again. Fanny packs were popular worn around the waist back in the late '80s and early '90s, and now they are often seen slung over the shoulder.
