For a quick outing you only need your phone, a wallet or cards, keys and earbuds, and that's what a small crossbody bag is for. Every bag on this page holds up to 3 liters, and some are especially light: Venture Signature weighs 70 g, Scout Advanced 120 g and Valencia 165 g. Before you buy, check that your phone fits, for example up to 6.3 inches in Zenitho Edge and up to 6.7 inches in Aerosonic Max, and that there's a separate zippered pocket for small things. There are bags in canvas, nylon and polyester, genuine leather and PU leather.
What fits in a small crossbody bag?
A bag of about a liter holds a phone and a few small things: Zenitho Edge takes a phone up to 6.3 inches, and the leather Crosswinds Exclusive a phone up to 6 inches. At 1.2 to 1.5 liters you get several compartments: Valencia, measuring 18 x 13 x 5 cm, has a zippered front pocket, a main compartment and an inner zippered pocket, and The Layer Leather has 3 zippered compartments. A 3-liter bag also takes a small tablet: Strikon Prime holds a tablet up to 8.3 inches, and TrailWaveX Prestige up to 9.7 inches.
Fabric, leather or fingerprint lock
A fabric bag is the lightest and most everyday: Doughnut ProX is made of water-repellent nylon and weighs 170 g, and Valencia uses splash-resistant fabric that doesn't wrinkle. A genuine leather bag looks more polished: The Bahamas Pro has 4 zippered compartments, and Ascend ProX holds a phone, wallet and daily essentials. If you want a lock, there are small bags with a fingerprint lock, like Hamburg in PU leather, 21 x 13 x 5 cm and expanding by 2.5 cm, and Thun, in polyester and PVC, weighing 425 g.
How to wear a small crossbody bag
On most bags here the strap is adjustable, so you can wear them on the shoulder or across the body. Valencia's strap adjusts from 28 to 58 cm, and its metal clips swivel and detach. The Layer Leather carries as a crossbody or a sling. Worn across the front of your body, the bag stays in sight and your phone is easy to reach.
