    Default Looking for small purse or wristlet ideas

    Its my birthday tomorrow so I'm spending my lunch break online browsing for myself I have tons of purses of all sizes but I don't really go many places these days so don't use them. I pretty much only go to Target and the grocery store and to run DD1 to CC practice. I'm currently just grabbing a wristlet with important cards in it, my phone, and my house and car keys to do these errands. I'd like a smaller bag that can either be used as a crossbody or with a wristlet strap that can hold wallet items, keys, phone, and a small bottle of hand sanitizer. If I do end up going somewhere where I need to carry more, then I could throw that into a larger bag, but it would serve as my main wallet I guess. I'd like something wipeable (my current wristlet is from Baggallini), as I sometimes feel the need to wipe it clean when I get home after grocery shopping. Any fun choices for me to look at? I did look at TJ Maxx a few weeks ago at their Kipling and Baggallini stuff but didn't find anything that quite fit what I want.

    https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 comes in a zillion colors and is $15. Holds up really well, wipable....and I occasionally get asked if it's a Kate Spade. Packs flat for travel which is an added bonus - or was when I was traveling a lot (sigh).

    Easily holds wallet, phone, sunglasses and jewelry roll that contains all my 'junk'.

    Happy shopping!

    In addition to MZ Wallace, I love Lo and Sons. Waverly or Pearly are perfect for your needs. My work bags have held up really well.

    I also love this brand:

    Check out REI. They might have something practical.

    I have the larger version of this bag (in green) and I love it. I debated between the small and the large size but am glad I went with the large because I carry a larger wallet, sunglasses, and reading glasses so the little extra space is nice.

    I do have to say that one of my favorite everyday bags are the nylon Kate Spade bags I have had had for years. Here is a similar tote in nylon from Marc Jacobs:

    Ok, I will admit straight up that I am a purse addict and not a bargain hunter, but I have my eye on this for a small bag. I appreciate that these are machine washable in the current situation.

    I have a Longchamp very similar to the first bag Annie posted. Small enough to grab and run but enough space to hold everything I carry.

    Love this one from Joy Susan. So many color options!

    ETA: Actually this link is easier to see a lot of colors. I have a couple of Joy Susan bags and really like them. The small crossbody has a lot of slots for cards and a zippered inside. I can fit phone, chapstick, cash and cards. It's tight with glasses/sunglasses.
