Cross-body handbag, perfect for budget fliers!

Have been looking for a cross-body leather handbag to use when travelling for ages. One flat enough to 'hide' under my jacket, or slide into the side pocket of my hand baggage if necessary!

Found this in TJ Hughes, maybe of use to other budget airline travellers!

Just the right size for me, with lots of pockets and zippered compartments. Designs vary slightly and there were other shades in my local branch including aqua, dusky pink and a lovely purple. Really pleased with the quality (just cut off the little Radleyesque leather tag!). They are £15 online, but in my local store yesterday they were only £12.

    Don't suppose you've seen anything like that, but with more of a landscape presentation?

    Only some time ago I saw a gorgeous bright pink leather travel wallet with a shoulder / over body strap, and several little dividers inside to separate tickets from passport from currency etc. Made by Morgan, and only £5, IIRC. So I bought it, and gave it to a colleague who was leaving to go travelling, and I have never seen anything quite like it since! :mad:

    There's a red one on Ebay, Sue.

    Does not have the strap though, as far as I can see.

    It's the strap which helped sell it to me originally, that and the bright pink-ness of it.

    Have seen similar since, but never with the strap.
