lhsail Posted March 3, 2019 #1 Share Posted March 3, 2019 (edited) I like to carry a small bag with me in the evening for a few items such as my cruise card, lipstick, Kleenex, etc. I have a nice one that’s probably more of a coin purse, about 4x4x1/2 inch, a nice black fabric with gold trim. It’s showing wear plus I’d like to have one in a nude/beige tone.The one I have I bought at some department store too many years ago to remember. Hope the attached will give you an idea of what it looks like. I’ve been searching the internet most of the morning and not coming up with anything. Any ideas of where I might find something like this? Edited March 3, 2019 by lhsail Typos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyaheel Posted March 3, 2019 #2 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I have a couple of wristlets I use as wallets in my regular purse during the day and on their own as bags when I travel. The two I use most often are a coach tweed for winter and a plain tumi black nylon for the rest of the time. I had some "fun" beaded options but they were cheap and didn't hold up and I got rid of them. See if searching for "wristlet" helps you find something you like. A little bigger than a coin purse but I can't imagine fitting everything I'd need into a coin purse, perhaps I'm just narrow minded (no, it's the phone to have a camera 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdinME Posted March 4, 2019 #3 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I have been using either a Dooney & Bourke Lexi crossbody or a Vera Bradley All in One crossbody. With the VB is a wallet with either a wrist strap or crossbody strap. The D&B has a place for bills and some card slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phxbne Posted March 4, 2019 #4 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I am a little obsessed by bags like this..... Agree, I think searching for wristlets might help - or perhaps “pouch.” They may be bigger than what you have or are looking for though. . I have some from Target - just luck of the draw as to what they have in stock. I have one from Charming Charlie and seen cute ones there. Kipling has Creativity pouches that come in a couple of sizes and a range of colors. Travelon has a few types - I have seen them on ebags and Amazon. My fanciest ones are from Michael Kors. enjoy the hunt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterbug123 Posted March 4, 2019 #5 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Try places like TJMaxx, Marshalls, Ross or Steinmart. I often see inexpensive evening bags there. It can be hit or miss, so if you don't find what you want, just check bag a few weeks later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awhfy Posted March 4, 2019 #6 Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) I have a small Coach wristlet that I’ve used for many years, perfect size (& it’s still sold in Coach stores) Edited March 4, 2019 by awhfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angie7911922 Posted March 5, 2019 #7 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Shopkos have little pouches like this. I don't know if you have Shopkos in your area though???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nebr.cruiser Posted March 6, 2019 #8 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I like a small wristlet for evening as well. Preferably black or silver. I have found them in many places; Target, Penney's, etc. For daytime in ports I use a small cross-body bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinMamainMN Posted March 6, 2019 #9 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I just recently found the "Joy Susan Mini Crossbody Wristlet Clutch" at a company/corporate store. After checking Amazon, I discovered they are available in lots and lots of colors. I bought the silver metallic version as it will go with everything and can be dressed up or down. You can use the included long strap and have a small crossbody purse, or use the included wristlet strap, or use no strap at all. Inside there are slots for 6 credit cards, and open pocket behind that, and another zippered pocket on the other side. My iPhone will fit in the center/main pocket and the whole thing zips to close. Then the zipper tab can get closed/locked down with a toggle. I love it so much, now I want another one in a fun color like watermelon for summer and our next cruise!

Rare Lois R Posted March 6, 2019 #10 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I tried a wristlet once and it just did not work for me. I prefer a small crossbody and I have a couple of them I have used for years now. One is a Brighton and the other is a Dooney. But as mentioned earlier, many stores have different ones, sizes, shapes, etc...….. If you have a Dillard's near you, they have a good handbag selection!

twoznuff2 Posted March 18, 2019 #11 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I second the Vera Bradley bags. Something like this may be an option. https://www.verabradley.com/us/product/Carryall-RFID-All-In-One-Crossbody/24536-24536G52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
