Help! Looking for a small crossbody saddle/box bag for DD

18 yo DD has requested a small bag for Christmas as one of her presents but is very specific about what she wants/doesn't want (yet is "too busy studying" to find this illusive bag Hmm ).

The style she wants is described as a saddle bag or box bag I think in that it's 3D rather than flat IYSWIM.

It needs to be black, ideally leather, crossbody, small (to fit a phone, keys and small purse) and , most importantly very plain and simple ie. no bling, no tassles, no gold buckles/clasps and definitely not a chain shoulder strap. She's not into brands or labels so no worries on that front

Looking for something around the £20-30 mark

The problem with most of the ones I've seen is that they're too big or have too many fancy details.

There was a bargainous contender on ASOS for £15but it went OOS whilst I pondered if it was right or not.

I think it'd be really hard to find a leather bag for 20 quid. (sorry not helpful)

For 30-40 pounds, I'd look for no fuss cross body bags in H&M, Accessorize, Mango, Warehouse, Oasis.

Mango has this

No, I'm still looking I'm afraid.

This is the sort of style she wants (but not the price!)

There are loads out there in the price range I'm looking at (including leather ones) but they all seem to be pimped up! It seems the more plain they are, the more expensive they are Confused

I have black cross body bags stalking me round the internet Grin

This is nice very plain, not leather though.

Boatsnack I know what you mean! They keep popping up on ads all over the place ....but never quite what I'm looking for. Every now and again I see on and think "That's the one!" and then find it's a £395 designer one.

We're going real life shopping on Sunday so hopefully we might find something then.
