Anyone carry a small crossbody type bag daily?

Something like the Lucy & Yak Brady?

Cheapish but nice enough little bags for purse and phone whilst daily running about?

I see people with those boxy little cube style bags, not keen on them.

I do. I don't think I've used a handbag more than three times since I got it two years ago. I prefer the rectangular ones.

They hold so much - phone, purse, keys, lip balm, tissues, mints, sunglasses, and still look small and sleek.

I used my uniqlo mini crossbody bag almost daily ( exception being work)

I have the Uniqlo bag but stopped using it after it got soaked during a down pour

Luckily I'd just bought the Paddington B which is waterproof

yes. sometimes a bigger bag is nice but teeny has been my day to day for a while. If you think of it as an easier way to carry / wear a clutch size bag it might make more sense.

Thanks for the replies everyone. :)

Paddington - i like these, the shape is a bit different and fun.

Willesden - I had a bag similar to this a while ago, made by 'Waterfly', whoever they are, I don't know what happened to it tbh.

Uniqlo Mini - I got one, the daughter stole it, I haven't seen it since. 🤣 I didn't mind, I wasn't mad keen on it tbh, it seemed to hang in a an off way and swing about as i walked.

I did see:

Which is a bit expensive but nice I think, maybe. I like the Aubergine / Purple.

I also saw:

Which looks a bit edgy and techy and 'manly', not that matters I suppose, but it's less cute and fun.. but I'm 45 and I'm not cute nor fun so.. 🤪
