I LOVE the Junior Drake mini bag and want to get it in the purple/"mulberry" color...but it's 8" which may be a bit too long to act sort of as a wristlet? (I'm thinking of those Coach wristlets, but more original.) Like, I want something I can strap around my wrist and be just big enough to hold my phone, ipod, and cards/cash. Are dimensions usually bigger than the bag actually is? What other cute non-logo'd mini bags are there? Thanks!! Preferably under $150 or under $100 is great...thanks!!

Have you seen this?

You can wear it as mini crossbody in those situations where you want to be hands free, but carry only the bare essentials. Any other time, you can use it as just a wristlet in your bag by detaching the strap. I saw them today in Nordstrom and think I am going back tomorrow to buy both the saphire and the black. It was a completely adorable wristlet/crossbody bag. I didn't even really know what Junior Drake was but the quality was really nice for $98.

quejimene - I don't think it can be used as a wristlet as well but I'd suggest it anyway :)

Not sure if you're a fan of this, but the price tag is nice! http://www.freepeople.com/index.cfm/...7-7f3db771f13a
And I know that Topshop has a lot of smaller bags in stock right now.

The rocker style bags by Rebecca Minkoff. They have a long strap, but alot of times I just hold the bag itself. You could get one of those wristlet chains/straps on ebay and attach it. RM has more small clutches coming out too!
Coach also has some great wristlets that are good quality and don't cost too much.
