looking for a small crossbody bag to carry my stuff on a cruise....

[shoppingsmycard]

any ideas?? under $100, unless it's fantastic...preferably under $50. this is something i wouldn't use often, certainly, but just want something to carry around the sunscreen and room key on the cruise. has to be stylish too, though...of course. function isn't everything!

TIA for any suggestions!

have you tried a coach outlet, or lesportsac?

There are a couple of cute ones on the Dooney & Bourke site, one with a front pocket, one without.

Letter Carrier 01 (zipper top, no pocket)

Letter Carrier 02 (zipper top, front pocket)

The second one is on my Christmas list! They're both $145.00, and are available in a bunch of fabric/leather trim color combos. Taupe/black trim is my favorite.

It's a little over budget, but how about this Marc by Marc Jacobs:

I just bought a Coach sling pack which will hold your key, sunscreen and a few other small things, it is perfect. I paid full price at the boutique but then saw several other styles at the outlet a week later for over 50% off that price!

On my cruise, I used a Coach swingpack and it would out perfectly. Maybe you can check the outlets or ebay.
