MZ Wallace Claret Madison Flap Crossbody: MZ Wallace is known for designing stylish and functional bags with pockets and adjustable / detachable straps.

I have a few of their small crossbody styles and love them for both everyday use (NYC dweller) and travel because they double so well as a highly organized bag that looks good enough to take to dinner.

The website also has a ton of good information on dimensions and comparison details if you’re not able to shop in person.

Uniqlo Mini Shoulder Bag: Maybe not the chicest option, but it’s minimal and the price is amazing. I use this every time I travel to keep my wallet, passport, phone, etc. in inside my larger carry on, so I can just easily pull those items out and also use this when I go on walks or run errands. It’s a great everyday crossbody.

Riverdroite Paris Custine Waist Bag: Made from recycled cotton (washable!) with an adjustable strap that isn’t too techy. The XL version is roomy but I love the regular size - not too bulky but I can fit my wallet, phone, keys, and kindle no problem.
