I've been using the one from a diaper bag I had almost ten years ago. I really need something else. Mostly it will just be inside my purse, with my card holder, money, floss, etc. Sometimes I do want to take just that, say if I'm running into a store or something. I haven't seen anything that really fits the bill. The one I have now is fabric and soft sided, with a zipper and a strap for holding onto it. I like the functionality of it, just want something prettier now. TIA!

I don't recommend the Fossil one if you have an iPhone. It's too small and stiff to easily fit a smart phone. A lot of my friends like the Vera Bradley one.

Latico is a random brand made in the US that has cute stuff.

I have this one and like it. Its fits my big driod phone (but only without the otterbox). I like that it can be wiped off easily or clipped to the stroller/cart.

I still think I want something a little bigger. I feel like I'm going to struggle to find something just right.

This is more than I really want to spend, but it's really cute! It seems like it'd be big enough.

This is the one I have (in another print) and I really like it. It's big enough to hold cash/cards/checkbook as well as my phone and a lip balm, yet small enough to throw in a purse or diaper bag.

They have a few that might work for what you're after, and if you look on The Sak's main website they have the more classic styles if you don't like the prints.

I use a Ju Ju Be Major and like it. I don't put it in a purse though. I use it on its own.

I have a custom organizer wristlet from this etsy seller that I love love love. I don't see the style on her site currently but you could probably convo her about it. Wait, here is mine: https://www.etsy.com/transaction/31096770

I love that it combines the big open pouch of a basic wristlet, with the compartments/organization of a wallet. I used the zip section for coins, tampons, pen. All my cards fit in the organizer part. It has a cash section too. Then in the main part is lipstick/gloss, iphone, keys. It can fit a checkbook. I've even managed to fit sunglasses in there. And yet, it's not at all huge. I used to have it in a diaper bag (no longer need) and it fit easily into my VB hipster. The quality of her work is amazing.

There are some great deals on the Coach Factory site (I think you need to register to be a member, so the link might not go through unless you do).

That is very similar in size/style to what I have now (mine doesn't have the card slots). I like the type that has zipper on the top that is wide).

Everyone else had great recommendations, but if you're still looking....maybe the Vera Bradley wristlet (not the all in one) might work for you.

I'm looking for something similar to you and I think I might opt for this, b/c I want it to fit my keys and phone, which the all in one VB does not do.

good luck!

Thanks for the recommendation!

There are two things that make me not like the Vera Bradley choice. 1. I'm not a big fan of the padded fabric style, and 2. I do not like the zip around feature. I prefer the zip on the top only, so that stuff can still sit safely inside, kwim?

Not all are Zip around... look at this:

Someone just recommended this to me - I did not know that VB had wristlets w/pockets inside for credit cards etc.
