Crossbody bag for holiday

[GinJarRogers]

I’m looking for a crossbody bag to use on holiday in a couple of weeks. For sightseeing and beach days so can be quite small - it just needs ti fit a phone, purse, lip balm. Has anyone seen a nice one around? Budget £100 but ideally less!

I have a couple of Ollie and Nic bags, Gigi and Doyle which are great.

Do you have a link please? TIA

i bought one of these from Peacocks while on a UK break and it’s been great. Perfect size for sightseeing.

Do you have a link please? Thank you

Agree, they're the best 😁

I bought the Prite bag on Amazon for under £25. It was brilliant for my holiday as you can fit loads into it (several different compartments) but it looks compact. It's incredibly comfortable as a cross body bag but you can alter the strap length so it looks a bit smarter for evening use - very versatile. I have the cream (it's not beige, despite being called that) and it went with everything since I was wearing light, holiday colours. The nylon is very smooth and soft, not that coarse, utility bag grade. I chucked it in the washing machine in a net bag at the end of the holiday and it has come out like new. I think I'll be using it all Summer and might get a few years out of it so I think it's good value for the money, too.

MK have some lovely ones on sale in your price range.

I like Roka. Willesden B or if you want very compact, Bond.

I use a roka bond, just got it and it's been great for the essentials and lots of colours to choose from.

Oh come on. This has to be a humble brag? You’re on the Internet so you know that online shopping exists. You’ve heard of Net-A-Porter, Harrods, Selfridges, Liberty, John Lewis, TK Maxx etc they all have excellent search functions on their website??

I’m currently trying to stop myself buying this one https://www.passenger-clothing.com/products/journey-recycled-crossbody-bag-mediterranean-ocean-teal
because I have quite enough bags already. Saw it IRL and coveted it.

I have the Wander+, which does the job nicely - and I'd recommend a retractable phone tether clipped to it, to make stealing your phone much harder

£100? I bought 2 really nice ones in Lidl

I like the Brakeburn cross body bags and currently them have them on sale. They aren't huge but fit a decent amount in.

I've taken one of these with me on three big abroad holidays as my day bag and you can fit everything in them. The number of compartments is just right. I just thought I'd throw it into the mix because the Uniqlo one seems to lack compartments.

ETA sorry about the stupid long link

I like the look of that. (These threads are so enabling!😄) Not sure I can justify yet another crossbody but I like the idea of a bag of this style with compartments and an adjustable strap.

I have this one from Bellroy and prefer it to the Uniqlo as it has compartments - https://bellroy.com/products/laneway-crescent-bag?color=ink&gad_source=1&material=seaweave_sheen&ranEAID=3784704&ranMID=43345&ranSiteID=UM10QjVr.8Q-n9.7.kLClRTVpgLFRTe3nA&size=2.5l&utm_campaign=Admitad&utm_content=3784704&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=rakuten#slide-0

Ive got it in the 2.5L and 7L versions.
