Present bag is falling apart and faded. Need to replace it soon now. I don't like big massive bags, I like little ones that you can fit a desk diary in. That's like an A4 sheet of paper folded in half.

i need an adjustable strap so i can wear it on my shoulder and it hangs down to my waist but can be made longer for wearing across the body too.

i need a proper closure like a zip. with or without a flap over it. Inside i need a couple of open pockets high up, one for keys and one for mobile and a zipped pocket opposite for purse.
I dont carry much, just diary, pen, lipsalve, tape-measure, chocolate and stuff in the pockets.
Don't mind if its leather or cloth so long as its not patent leather and i dont like metal bits stuck all over it either or fringes - boak.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Look at amazon, they have loads of choice, got a leather small satchel type bag from visconti for £45, fossil and tula do similar but pricey

Radley

the large version of this is about big enough for A5 diary, though it might be tight

Hmm, some food for thought there , thanks. Will have a proper look at the links and come back later....

colour - dark. black dark brown, purple, bottle green, dark turquoise...
material - leather or leather look, suede, velvet, cord or denim fabric.

budget - very small am used to paying about 10 quid for a cloth one in a Chinese imports shop... but could pay up to 30 if it looks like it'll last a few seasons.
