Do you all have enormous purses? Or what?

I want a new purse as am sick of rummaging in the bottom of mine to access the coins. I have had a felt one for a few years, primarily because the size is right and it is also easy to find in a handbag cos it feels different in texture.

Started looking recently in various places (TKMaxx, debs, etc) and they are all vast - like mini clutch bags almost.

I just want one that contains 8/10 cards, some coins and which is small enough to bung in a back pocket if I don't have a bag with me. Pref leather, fairly plain.

Holy Grail??

Agree, Sticklebricks Downsizing to a small purse made me dejunk all the receipts and general detritus I had.

I have a lovely leather one from fatface it came in two sizes and neither are bulky like my previous mulberry daria continental or boden leather one. The cath kidston ones are huge and bulky too.

I have a tiny purse - which is just for the small amount of cash I ever carry. Cards are in a little metal card case (something like this. So one or both can easily go in a pocket if need be, and both in my very small shoulder bag. I'm finding this combination better than any other purse I've ever had.

Can't help you - mine is a Mulberry the size of a small brick.

Mine is a leather Stone Mountain wallet with two sleeves for paper money, receipts, etc., and 10 card slots plus space for an ID measuring about the same as a credit card. Also there is a small zipped sleeve and room for other cards behind the main card section. The card slots are made of leather and fabric so no plastic to tear. I got it in TK Maxx. Actually TJ Maxx, in the US

Another vote for Ted Baker here. I got mine brand new from ebay and I love it. Its in bright fuschia pink leather so I can spot it easily in my bag.

I use a reasonably small purse. This stops me carrying a lot of heavy change.

Hugo it is here - and appears ideal.

Well done - you get a gold star Grin
