Afternoon all!
I am looking for a small cross body bag and was wondering if anyone can help please?! Had a nosey on ASOS but couldn’t really find any. Had a Google, lots of Wish advertisements came up but that sites dodgy isn’t it? I want something to put just my iPhone in, debit card and my house keys. It’ll only be used to go to the shop with so nothing too big. I don’t like carrying things in jeans pockets as they feel bulky. If I go out with my toddler I put everything in his backpack Blush
Thank you!

What's your budget?

PinkDaydreams · 11/05/2020 13:09

Up to about £30 as it will probably be only used once a week

You’d wait weeks if you bought from wish as they’re in China. Acessorize have some bargains but I don’t know if they’re delivering. M&S often have decent bags. TK Maxx are back online.
I’ve bought bags here and notice they have some bargains on leather in the sale section www.myexquisiteshop.com/collections/sale

New look have bargains too but again don’t know if they’re delivering

I’ve seen this from urban outfitters which is the kind of size I want but it’s a bit plain

Parfois.com used to sell the perfect bag for two years, but I keep going back in the hope that it will have been repeated. It cost £18.00, and mine is getting shabby.

Do this in brown croc too

I can make you a bespoke one @pinkdaydreams. I made one for my son a few weeks back (Harry Potter - see pics) Its £30 including postage for one with an in built strap (the one in the photo has a detachable strap, but that costs more because of the hardware). Its padded with a coin pocket and a slip pocket.
Happy to discuss fabrics (I have about a bazillion), then I'd need a couple of days to make it. I have a website you can look at if you want to see stuff I've made. www.shewearsredfeathers.co.uk/gallery

I've got a couple and bought one as a gift.

FlamingoAndJohn · 11/05/2020 13:45

I’ve got loads of Mia Tui bags.

How about this one: miatui.com/collections/across-body-bags/products/molly-purse-bag-multiple-colours?variant=30706729877571

Or this one: miatui.com/collections/across-body-bags/products/lottie

Neversaygoodbye · 11/05/2020 13:46

I got exactly this from Radley. It was on sale at the time and literally is just big enough for my phone, credit card and keys. I'm not sure if they have a sale on still but they do have cross body phone bags.

PinkDaydreams · 11/05/2020 13:52

@banjaxxed that next one is perfect! I’m just not keen on the colors 😫 honestly I’m so fussy! You’ve all given me lots of websites to have a nosey on though, thank you!

What about Healthy Back Bags? I have a small one and it’s perfect for what you’ve described

Absolutely perfect size for mobile , purse, keys and the nothing else. I'm not a junk full bag person at all. Essentials only!

homemadecommunistrussia · 11/05/2020 14:23

Kanken I have this one. I love how non fussy it is and not horrible fake leather. Smile

PinkDaydreams · 11/05/2020 14:35

That’s what I’m worried about buying from amazon, in case it arrives and it’s horrible plastic leather. I’ve seen a few on ASOS but on closer inspection they’re cheap plastic looking.
That kanken pocket bag looks nice. Hunter do a small bag but I think it’s not quite small enough though.
