Hi! I'm looking for a cute, small purse that can be worn across the body for my trip to Italy this summer. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Coach has some really cute mini purses you can wear across your chest, they run about $150 new though.

I have yet to see something in that style that is remotely wearable. And you are going to Italy!

You may be better off with a regular bag. Check some of the European fashion blogs.

Thanks! Yep, I normally don't like the crossbody a ton, but I keep seeing it recommended everywhere just for "security" during the crowded summer months, because of the pickpockets. We've never had a problem in Rome before, but we've always gone in Winter/Spring and keep reading that it's worse in summer.

I already have this little Prada nylon bag (but in ivory/light tan) that I wore last time. It fits snugly under my arm because it's tiny: Prada Small Nylon

But the little black messenger ones look ok to me, too: http://i.ebayimg.com/15/!BS9W6bg!2k~$(KGrHgoH-CEEjlLly3cCBKF42CY5Kw~~_1.JPG

I bought a cute little haiku one for like $30 a few weeks ago but have been having second thoughts about it: Haiku by Sharon Eisenhauer Grab Bag Hana by at Zappos.com

Think I need to look further, or am I set?

Thanks!!

That prada messenger is the smallest they make, you might want a tiny bit bigger. IMO the Haiku bag looks like something a little girl would have.

If you can get more pics of this one from the seller to help authenticate this one is a really good deal.

Haha yeah I see what you mean. I do like the smallest Prada though - no need to carry much around town with me. Thanks!

Then the flat style should be good. The one you are looking at is just really tiny.
