small cross body bag

[tumteetum]

Just got a new mobile and it's too big to put in my back pocket. I've never really carried a handbag during the day, but think need to get one. I would like a cross body one so won't fall off shoulder when children tug at hands, and I dont want a big one- just big enough for keys, phone and purse. I would also want it to be pretty plain. I've browsed a bit and not seen anything I like. Any suggestions?

What's the budget? Colour? Leather?

Do you like the Coach penny ones? No link as on phone

White Stuff do some nice ones, leather and nicely lined. Mine was about £35 I think.

Have you looked at Brit Stitch?

Small zatchels could work, I get my keys, purse and phone in the saddle bag, it's lovely as it goes with all my different coats/ jackets.

am loving this at the moment

sorry not had chance to pop back. Thanks for suggestions. Like the Belinda one from white stuff, but slightly bigger than I had imagined. The rest either seem a bit pricy or bit big or dont grab me. Ideally would be tan/brown and up to £100

This from Clarks is gorgeous, leather and there's 20% off at the moment making it about £40.

I have this Might this be your style Maybe try beyond retro for some examples of styles

I've got a leather White Stuff one but the baby chews it so I've also got an eastpak The One in black which is waterproof and perfect. Bit sporty tho.

any of these?

wow, loads of great suggestions. Now I have too many to choose from......

There are some lovely bags on the Fossil website for a little bit over £100.

What about the butterfly xbody bag from White Stuff? It's much smaller than the Belinda:
