Small Crossbody

I am in search of a small crossbody bag. I would prefer something lightweight and nylon. Lightweight cotton/canvas are okay. I need it to be pretty small, just large enough to hold my id, credit card, cash, lip gloss, camera, phone and keys. I'm going to be using it for the zoo (my husband and I go to the zoo a lot!) and for the occasional trip to an amusement park. I have other great crossbody bags but I need something cheap and one that i won't care if it gets wet or dirty. Two of the below bags are in animal prints since I would be taking it to the zoo more than anything else:) Which one should I get?

Work Bag

Okay so I recently started a new job where I work outdoors. So I wanted to get a lightweight, synthetic tote bag that could fit a lot of stuff. Leather really isn't an option because it weighs too much and isn't weather proof.

So I bought a Dooney and Bourke bag, the Gwenny large tote. It is nylon, has two main compartments, and has a ton of pockets. Pockets, pockets, pockets. The bag was so functional for work. But... it just wasn't that cute:( It is a great alternative to the Longchamp though. It is nylon, well made, lightweight, and it has similar leather trims. Despite it's functionality, I returned it.

So I ended up with my original idea, a black Longchamp Pliage. Unfortunately it has only one small pocket. But IMO it is more attractive than the Dooney. And I much prefer how it sits against my body when I'm wearing it. I don't let junk float around my bags, so I hope it isn't that hard to keep organized. I keep pens and my cell phone in the pocket. Yes, it would be nice to have other pockets for keys, sunglasses, and my wallet. But I love it:) This will also be used as a knitting bag when I'm over using it for work. I never really got why people love their Longchamps so much until now!


Longchamp Le Pliage- Its a keeper!
