The Crossbody Pouch

I’m a crossbody person 99% of the time. Occasionally, I will use a proper purse if I’m going to a meeting or an event and the occasion calls for it. I typically use a Métier bag when I’m going out for the day (or night), but when I walk the dog, I don’t need that much of a bag. I recently discovered this little crossbody pouch (number 7 above!) from the very minimal-chic Parisian L/Uniform brand, and I love it so much, I’m going to start using it on my travels—it’s perfect for the passport and any other small things, like an external pocket. Here are some others in a range of sizes, materials, colors and prices. —Yolanda
