Please help me find a holiday bag :)

Oh wise one! I'm looking for a bag for holiday to hold:

Phone
Bank card/s
Lipstick

It needs to be a crossover, and if it has a chain strap I need a leather bit over the shoulder so it doesn't dig in. As I'm not carrying loads a mini bag would be perfect. Budget wise approx £500 or less or can probably go up to about £600if it's perfect.

Any ideas? Feel like I've been Googling for hours!

Oooh and ideally a zip pocket inside so things don't fall out :)

There are lots of lovely cross body bags under budget for you.

Strathberry east/west one is about £400, has a chain with leather bit for shoulder and does up.

the small Amberley by Mulberry is in their sale in some colours below £600.

michael Kors are very under budget and have cross body bags that meet your criteria down to £70. https://www.michaelkors.co.uk/sheila-small-faux-saffiano-leather-crossbody-bag/_/R-35S3G6HC5L?color=0230

what colour do you want?

I would say if there’s nothing you really want, I’d buy one of the £70 Michael Kors ones for this summer then use my £530 budget for a bag that makes my heart sing later on!

Thank you @LimeCheesecake , I've never heard of strathberry! I do like the mulberry but ideally a zip. I tend to avoid Kors bags but those colours are lovely and I'm board with what you're saying about saving the budget for an autumnal bag/holiday money :)
I've just come across the Joan Chloe camera bag but not sure if suede is a good idea

how about Polene numero dix

No zip pocket but the mulberry mini Antony is great, loads of colours and under budget. Good strap too!

The mini Chloe woody totes are fantastic! They're so cute and fit quite a bit in. Soft strap too so it's not going to hurt the shoulder 😊

Honey and toast have some lovely leather cross body bags. Small but can still fit a fair amount in them, no zipped pocket though.
