Hilltopmom Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I still have littles & don't like to carry a purse, I just throw my wallet & a few diapers in the stroller usually. I'm in need of a new wallet though that can double as a small cross body bag when needed. Here are my requirements- see if you have any suggestions: Wallet/ clutch style with slots for lots of cards Spot for checkbook Zipper spot for coins Room for a Chapstick Spot for phone Cross body strap No local stores here have anything like this. Online I'm looking at one by Vera Bradley, "iPhone clutch wallet". No idea on other brands to look at, I'm not really a fancy bag kind of gal ;) I prefer sportier looking bags like Kavu, but could do a Vera Bradley if I have too. Any ideas? Thanks Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Maybe something some Roots? I have a Roots handbag and it's made in Canada, and the leather and construction quality are excellent, especially for the price. They have a more sporty look. And they periodically send out discount codes. Not sure about having a checkbook holder though, with the other features you want. http://www.roots.com/us/en/leather/wallets/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanier.1765 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I just bought this one. Unfortunately no room for a checkbook but fits all your other requirements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Baggilini makes several small cross-body bags and clutches. I'm currently using one of their triple zip bags. It's very small, but a little bigger than a clutch. Small enough that it has loops on the back so you can thread it onto your belt if you prefer, though. I always wear it cross body. My iPhone 6s with a case fits into the back pocket. Amazon sells a bunch of them with free returns.

mmasc Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I was also going to suggest a Baggallini. I've found that TJ Maxx almost always has a decent selection of them. I bought one there this summer that fits your needs exactly. :) And it was only about 20 bucks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Etsy for cute custom stuff Be careful of the size of the VB bags. They haven't adjusted the phone wallet to the current larger sized phones. My iPhone 6 in a case wouldn't fit in the one I tried at a store. They definitely won't hold a checkbook. The online reviews are pretty helpful about fit if you can't try any in person. They also have a store locator. Check Kipling and LeSportSac. There's another brand I bought from The Container Store of all places that was perfect on my last pre-more-kids Disney trip. I'll have to post and look so this doesn't get eaten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
