Small bag for city day trips

7 replies

I’m going on a cruise next month and I’m looking for an everyday bag for touring cities.

I prefer a crossbody and would consider a belt bag, but would like it to be stylish.
I have looked at lululemon belt bags, longchamp le pliage rucksacks and today I saw some belt bags in Oliver Bonas.
The weather will be warm, so I would like something lightweight and suitable to wear with summer clothes to hold essentials including sun protection. Any recommendations?

Kipling? Preferably a reduced price one - they bring out different colours/patterns each year and you can find the older ones online at a discounted price.

Yes, I was also going to post this Uniqlo bag!

Another vote for the Uniqlo bag! It's great for travelling and day trips. I have the small size and it's pretty big for wallet, phone, kids snacks, tissues etc. The bigger size might get too heavy quickly

Love my Uniqlo bag. I held off for a long time but then finally succumbed. It's soo useful and perfect size.

Another vote here for the Uniqlo bag. Or if you wanted something a little sturdier, how about a Roka? They do various crossbody styles and a large number of their bags are currently available brand new on Vinted, some at good prices.

Thank you. I completely forgot about the Uniqlo bag, this is perfect and not as expensive.
