Phone, mask & keys bag for teen

A few years ago MN found the perfect bag for my then 10yo. It’s now worn out, and I need a replacement - just for phone, keys, mask. Must zip, as it’s for using on public transport, and needs to be cross body for the same reason.

Her look is DMs and plain clothes - so nothing frilly/fancy unless it’s llama-related. Grin

I've just linked this on another thread 😁 but may not be right. It's a lovely, excellent quality bag though...

Thanks Lumos, but that’s a bit bigger and a more grown up look than she would go for.

How about something like this?

Would a Kipling one work?

Take her to Primark. Loads to choose from there and not pricey either!

This style from Lucy and Yak is fab. Perfect size with a couple of zipped pockets.

Thanks! The Lucy and Yak ones look just right but all the plain ones are sold out, unfortunately. I’ll have a look at the other links - it’s about getting a balance between fairly plain but neither expensive looking (not the right thing at her school) nor like something designed for a man.

I bought this one as a gift:

It's a small independent shop but I've used their mail order before when I've spotted something I like in store but didn't want to lug home and they were great:

Thanks, lots of ideas and links to follow. The Nike ones look a bit too branded for her, but otherwise perfect. She won’t go for leather or fake leather - looks too old apparently. I’m going to have a good look around Etsy, as that seems to have lots but needs a bit of searching.
