Needing a small/medium neutral crossbody for casual use. I am trying to sell a Chanel WOC (that is about 10 years old) because it is just too small for my needs. I need it to hold a small wallet, keys, large phone, lipstick and eyeglasses. Any suggestions?
 
Thanks for your reply. I don't really care for the mulberry hardware, that plate on the front has never appealed to me. I've not thought about Longchamp in leather. That's an option!
 
I always wanted a Chanel WOC til I realized how small and impractical they are for me. I just bought a Gucci WOC that I use to carry my essentials. It fits my cards and cash, 2 car keys, phone, lipgloss and small portable charger.

If you're okay with monogram you can get it from selfridges for $790 duty free.

I'm thinking about getting something a tad bit bigger. Maybe the Gucci disco, Chloe Marcie, or Burberry Banner. The Givenchy mini antigona is cute too.

Looking forward to seeing what you pick. Might help me make up my mind. Lol

Yeah, the WOC is really useless to me. It was fine when phones were smaller and I didn't need reading glasses to carry everywhere. Haven't used it in years. Your Gucci is REALLY pretty. I'm thinking about the disco and will go look at the Marcie and the Banner. Thanks so much for those suggestions. I've even thought about the LV pochette NM in damier ebene. I want this to be a bag I don't have to baby at all. One that holds up to "outings" with my young granddaughters and their sticky little fingers and quick errand trips where I don't want a big purse.
Thanks again and I'll keep you posted.
 
Maybe an LV Twinset? (twice or whatever it's called) The Gucci Disco is nice but the GIANT logo on the front is a dealbreaker for me. If it was tiny on the bottom corner, I'd be great with that.

Another option that might be good is an MZ Wallace: Abbey Crossbody, Bailey or Paige (though the Paige is probably a bit bigger than you want, it's like a slightly larger Bailey but with a removable strap option.) Their nylon is damn near indestructible, and holds up to just about everything, and lots of nice organization. AND they are super lightweight.
 
I agree with the GIANT logo on the disco. Also I sort of wanted something that lays rather flat against the body. I have a H Evy in orange which I love but don't want to take it on outings with the grand kids because I don't want the strap to get dirty. I like the Twice and that is a really good suggestion, thanks. I don't like nylon at all, go figure, I'm fine with canvas but not nylon. I know that's not rational at all :)

Celine Trio? Seems as minimalist as they come.
 
I absolutely LOVE this bag. I know every designer has issues but there is a thread I read about the strap literally coming apart from this bag. I don't know if I want to risk that.

Hah see I'm the exact opposite. Nylon over any brands canvas.
