Can anyone recommend a smallish cross body bag?

Just needs to be big enough for a purse and bits - camera bag size is ideal. Preferably not black. Budget is about £200.

I quite like this - www.johnlewis.com/jaeger-zip-top-leather-camera-bag/p3152003?colour=Wine

But was hoping for a more summery colour. Any tips?

Check out House of Fraser. They have up to 30% off at the moment.

Have a look at fatface. I've got a gorgeous brown bag from there that fits your description.

I was stroking this the other day. It's absolutely beautiful.

DKNY have some decent small cross body bags in different colours (I seem to remember khaki, nude, blush pin, bright pink, aubergine...) at the moment in HOF. None of the usual garish DKNY branding, either. Think they're about £120/30.

APC Half Moon - I have one and love it.

Kipling do them - I know not everyone likes them though. I got one the other day and its really useful and practical (I think it looks nice).

You get a money keyring too (!)

I bought this from Jigsaw last week. I wanted something cross body and light for sighseeing etc on holidays. When you say you need a camera do you mean a regular disposable size type camera?

How about Kate Spade? They have some lovely ones along the lines you're after and summery colours too.

Oh thank you! I do love the APC but it's a bit over budget. I might order the fossil one. I'll check out Kate Spade as well.

I looked at the Fossil one the other day too, its nice.

Check out the Cambridge Satchel Company. I bought a small Cloud bag from there on sale about a year & a half ago. I've used it most weekends since and it looks almost new.

I've recently bought this one for summer, nice and bright change from my usual tan/nude bags

Lots of lovely summery colours!

splendide · 02/06/2017 19:35

I knew you'd come through!

I've gone from nothing suitable to not sure what to chose.

I love the zalando yellow one and the Cambridge satchel and the zatchels. I have a big Cambridge bucket bag and a big zatchel so I like both makes.

I've recently bought one from the Cambridge Satchel Company (I bought it at Bicester Village) for £62, it's a mini satchel in a deep coral (with the magnetic fastening). It's lovely, I'm very impressed with the quality.

I have a fossil one in a vibrant orange which is fab. Quality of leather and hardware is high.

NigellasGuest · 02/06/2017 23:04

I have that jigsaw one in silver!

A1Sharon · 02/06/2017 23:20

I really fancy that Coach one in navy actually, decided to do the jigsaw bag and shoes instead, shoes arrived today and don't like them!
Typical.

Three nice See by Chloe bags on The Outnet.

Sharon coach do really good sales. I bought that bag in black for about £150 last year. It's worth waiting for the sales.

The Coach crossbody clutch is the perfect size for phone, keys, and cards.
