Small casual messenger bag

[Lib]

I'm in the market for a small messenger bag to use for travel, sightseeing, etc. I want it to be very casual and to go with any color (so something from LV with the vachetta leather would be perfect. I found a Gucci on their website that I like but it's a little too big. The LVs seem to be a little too small. It needs to be big enough for a small wallet, glasses and phone. Any suggestions where I can find one?

If you're willing to even consider something non-designer, this lady in the UK makes stylish and functional messengers:

What about this satchel - I think it's cute:

studiostelle's Etsy Shop - SALE Black bird satchel - small

10" x 11" - is this mini messenger too big?
BabyBugBoutique's Etsy Shop - Brown Flower Tapestry Mini Messenger Book Bag

I like the shape of the rosehip but not the flowers nor the color of the flowers. I want something that is neutral in color (like LV or the signature Gucci like the Gucci belt is made of).

Oh I like the Piel - thanks Passerby. Forgot about Ebags - I've bought from them b4.

Don't care for Balenciaga - too trendy for my tastes.

I have the LV musette salsa. It's perfect for the items you want to hold in it - as long as you carry your glasses in a soft holding case, not a thick hard one. (The bag is quite flat). There's the larger musette too but I don't like it so much.

I REALLY like the style of the LV Salsa, but I think it's a little too large.

I remember a really cute one that Megs posted a few days ago from banana republic, I believe. I am going to try to find it!

Found it!

How about this Roots bag?

I'm really surprised you think the Salsa is large - I think it's quite small! Are you thinking of the regular Musette? That is twice the size of the Musette Salsa.

Rasberry, you don't think the salsa is too big for a casual messenger day trip kind of bag. I don't really want it to look like a full fledged purse. Do you have a picture of you carrying one?
