Bag for city break

10 replies

Whodrankmytea · 17/05/2024 10:44

Got a couple of city breaks planned for this year. Want something to put my phone, glasses and sunglasses in so nothing too big and nothing that looks too expensive looking (don't want to be a target) but OK to use going out in the evenings too. Preferably something cross-body. Any suggestions please? Thanks.

Got to be the Uniqlo bag! I took it to a recent city break to Rome and it was perfect

Oh god everyone will say the ugly Uniqlo bag

I'm so glad you said this, I just don't see the appeal but they are so popular on here

Head to tk maxx. Loads of choice for your requirements.

I bought a Roka cross body bag just for travelling. It’s not the most stylish bag in the world but it’s pretty versatile and not too heavy for wearing all day.

I have a few colours of the Fossil Jolie baguette crossbody bag and they are great for carrying a few items out and about. They have a chain small strap attached too, which makes them great as a day to evening bag.

The Kiera is also nice and 50% off plus an introductory discount:

I have this and it's lovely. Holds phone, purse sunglasses, keys and a couple of random bits like lip balm.

I recently bough a tan leather mini satchel, is the perfect size for phone, purse, keys and a mini umbrella!

Got it from Amazon

I was going to say the Uniqlo as well. I don't think it's ugly. I have the marrimekko one. I took it to Rome and wore it cross body so felt really secure.

I have the striped version of this. Really nice bag to wear and plenty of room.
