Smallish crossbody bag that isn't heavy to start off with?

I'm a bit lopsided so can't carry too much on the one shoulder but do need my purse, keys, phone, lipbalm and a mussie handy in a light bag.

There's this www.looksluggage.co.uk/product_info.php/manufacturers_id/56/products_id/2147 but it's a little twee and my friend has the only decent pattern Grin.

Found a few incredibly dull plain nylon ones but am still uninspired - any suggestions?

CREW clothing have a great one, tan leather, £68.

Check this out as an alternative - www.happycow.com.au/catalog/product/view/id/167

I've just bought two (had to have them imported from Australia but it only took 2 days) ... you can also wear them as a shoulder bag if you don't like hip bags. They have changed my life!

Will definitely investigate the hip bags if I ever get my stomach back Smile

Ah BeehiveBaby, the beauty of the hip bag is that it sits low on your hips so it doesn't matter where your stomach has gone Wink

Comptoir - lovely!

I have a lovely red Osprey one which was about £50 IIRC.

PerArduaAdNauseum · 01/02/2011 21:59

Mattsbatt - are you really advocating the wearing of sporrans?

Gillybobs · 01/02/2011 22:11

I have this and its amazingly light with all the usual Kipling organisation. Love it.

snice · 01/02/2011 22:14

any of these from M and S any gd?

Have the Kipling one and love it - not sure they make it in that finish any more now. Also have the earlier version of the Autograph pure leather cross body bag. Both very light, but neither hugely capacious, so have to be a bit disciplined when using. Like the look of that Comptoir one.

The Kipling one is last years design but still for sale on Amazon and a few other places.
Its not huge but because the pockets take my phone/keys and lippy I find the main compartment more than big enough for my wallet,hairbrush perfume etc

MattsBatt · 02/02/2011 12:19

PerArdua Grin Ha, no, it's square, not round, and it's definitely not furry!

I was bad and kept the Kipling one that I had ordered and decided was too heavy for its size but is booootiful Blush

here

What I would love is a spare casual strap for it - got to be a market there?!

Thank you for your help and suggestions xx
