Purse with oyster card pocket on the outside?

8 replies

Hi, DD1 has a fantastic purse from Fossil - zipped main purse with a keyring for her keys and change. Then an external card holder including a clear pocket for her oyster, on the outside of the purse.

The purse is not much bigger than her oyster card.

I'm looking for one for DD2. Fossil don't do them like this anymore.

Has anyone bought anything similar recently?
TIA

I had one from Radley like that a couple.of years ago, don't know if they still do them but it was great having everything in one place.

I have a Cath Kidston one bought a couple of years ago

thanks both, can't see one on the Radley website, will take a look at CK.

what do other teens do? have their oyster in a card holder and then another purse/wallet for money?

or do they open up their wallet to use their oyster each time?

TK Max had loads of purses in that style last time I was in.

you can put your oyster inside your purse and just tap the whole purse on the reader.

Unless you also have a contactless card in your purse in which case it doesn't work

DD has a 'phone case with a few slots. She uses them for her Oyster and school lunch card. Seems to work well for her.

My dd has a shared travel card and school lunch card (not London) so just carries a door key and an emergency fiver in a small pocket of her school bag and doesn't need a purse.

She carries the smart card in her.phone case as her phone will always be in her hand or pocket on way to and from school. The card works through the case.

Is something like that an option.
