Katy Leather Crossbody Bag

Most often, I'm close to home and in the car, so I wasn't looking for a bag that holds absolutely everything. (I throw a tote in the trunk with anything else I might need.) This bag holds my essentials - iPhone 11 with a slim case and a Pop Socket on the back, bulky car key, house and mailbox key, two credit cards and my driver's license, a favorite short pen, lip balm, and a short comb. There's a little bit of room left over, but not enough for my sunglasses. I like leather, and this is a strap that stays put (not slippery like the nylon ones) so I can sling it over one shoulder if I choose. For me, this means no more searching through pockets and forgetting items when I change outfits. To up-size, I have a couple different "camera"-style bags that give more flexibility. This one is my current, comfortable, easy companion. (PS - the front pocket is no good for anything but keys! It has a pleat, but even my small fingers have trouble using it for anything else.) If you like to travel light, and are organized, you might love it.

This crossbody is just what I needed — my phone fits in the outside pocket and is easy to reach, the small zippered pocket in front holds my cash and remoteness entry key, and the middle pocket holds my essentials like lip treatment, hand sanitizer, pen, etc. and there is a nice organizer for my credit cards. It is wonderful to have my hands free and to not have a heavy purse to manage. I purchased this in February and it is my go-to bag.
