Small cross body bag for holiday?

30 replies

ilovecherries · 19/07/2018 19:01

I’m looking for a small cross body bag for evenings on holiday. MUST have a zip closure (got pickpocketed from a bag with magnetic flap in a crowd a couple of years ago). I don’t want gold as my evening holiday sandals are silver, but open to most other suggestions. Budget up to £50. I’ve looked everywhere, it feels like, and I’m just not seeing the one.

Have you looked in accessorize? I’m not thinking of one particular one but I always pick up a holiday bag or 2 at the airport for going away.

Mia Tui
the Molly Cross Body has lots of compartments and zips
I bought the Lily clutch which is a zip topped with a small pocket
Both have wristlet and long strap for cross body (I got bronze to be more neutral)

debenhams do some, the Julien MacDonald range have a silver bag and others which are all in their sale, £24.50. TXMX is also really good for bags.

I've got one from Misako. They come in many colours and they zip up. There's also another zipped pouch inside.

ilovecherries · 19/07/2018 23:18

Thanks everyone :). Will go and do more hunting.

I've recommended this company a few times as I've had several fantastic bags - they have other crossbodies as well as this

I also saw a lovely one in Oliver Bonas the other day (it was orange but had other colours)

HildaZelda · 20/07/2018 11:47

Parfois always have some.

Laska5772 · 20/07/2018 11:51

If you like casual Animal often have some good ones.. I have one to your specs that I took on holiday which bought in the sale for £11 last year Smile

I’ve just bought a Tula one. Not particularly cheap (reduced to £41 + p&p at the moment) but has everything I need for an evening bag - inside zip, magnetic closure, detachable strap etc. plus it’s good quality.

Over50andfab · 20/07/2018 11:57

Oh, and they do others with zip closure instead of magnetic

When I read the thread title I thought you were planning on someone dying on holiday and needing to bring them home!! Grin

Laska5772 · 20/07/2018 12:00

Oh cherries I've just seen its you! (waves)Smile

flutterbean · 20/07/2018 12:00

I have a lovely green zipped bag from Oliver Bonas and have seen several in White Stuff that might fit your criteria.

purplecorkheart · 20/07/2018 12:02

I got one in Next a few weeks ago. Brown leather style. Slightly larger than normal so it will take a good bit.

Laska5772 · 20/07/2018 12:04

What about this round one cherries ? I like the white best!

Laska5772 · 20/07/2018 12:16
