I’m searching for a small cross body bag with a built in glasses case with room for keys phone and purse - not a big bag but would love to beable to put glasses directly in with out a separate case. Any ideas? Thanks

Could you sew something in? Make a case out of card, cover it with material and stitch it in?

I have only known one bag brand that does this, and they stopped production about 20 years ago (Lambertson Truex, USA) but I've got two that I bought via a resale site. They are beautifully made in Italy, classic styles, but originally $$$$, even then. Sorry, not very helpful; hope someone else can do better.

Aww thank you! Sadly my sewing skills are rubbish and I would of thought there would be a market for it just like a little section solid and sturdy to put glasses in and the rest for purse keys and phone! For us who need reading glasses or sun glasses… thanks for the replies xx

Lambertson Truex made beautifully planned bags, with slots for phones (then much smaller), pens and cards and make up and a pair of sunglasses, plus a detachable clip for house/car keys. For my money, they are better organised than anything else I have ever seen. They even used light blue suede for the bag lining, so that everything could be seen easily.

Not quite what you're after but have you seen the glasses cases by the brand 'Any Di'?

They're like a bag charm with a sturdy sleeve to protect the lenses of glasses, a bit pricey for what they are but come in loads of colours and patterns. I saw them randomly on some fashion bloggers Instagram a few months ago and thought they were a really unique product. At least you could then swap it to different bags?

Here's a case you can clip to the inside of a bag. It opens at either end to make it easy to pop glasses in.

Ooh these sound promising I’ll have a look! I was on a dog walk the other day and my glasses fell out my pocket as they had gone a bit slack to put on my head. Got home re traced my steps and they were smashed on the road. I was so upset I didn’t even pick up the pieces but went back 2 hours later and gathered the bits! Now waiting for a new pair. I’ve got the font on extra extra large just so I can read and reply to your responses!!! Thanks so much everyone x

I'm just back from holiday. Used a quilted Vera Bradley bag that I bought on holiday in US last year. Sunglasses straight into front pocket whole time and all fine. Also room for phone, cards, cash, lip gloss, perfume, tissues. Think if I was walking the dog I'd definitely have room to add poo bags and a couple of treats.
Just checked it was a RFID all in one cross body bag but there are other bigger styles that still have a front pocket that's glasses sized. I think it's the fact it's quilted that made me feel I could trust it with putting my glasses straight in.

Brilliant thank you that sounds a really good option x

I recently bought this exact case. I am delighted with it (as I had been looking for a long time for a double glasses case). It’s really neat and easily accommodates my regular glasses and my sunglasses.

Minooy make bags with section for glasses, the bags are really good.

Check out the reviews on the website. Not only is it functional, but it’s luxurious vegan leather that you can wash anything off of it. Mascara, wine and ink from a pen, easily wipes off. Amazing.
