In order to dig through tempting piles of goodies or jockey your way through crowded shopping stalls you need a carry-all that doesn't fall over, weigh a ton, or tackle unsuspecting shoppers at every turn. I learned this the hard way when I nearly dumped the entire contents of my over-sized tote into a box full of vintage purses.
Since even the name "fanny pack" makes me want to cringe, I scoured the web for bags that met three all-important criteria. It has to be slim, it has to be light, and it has to look good.
Here's what I came up with:
There's something indescribably stylish about the cream colored leather and tortoise shell embellishment. By B. Makowsky at Endless.
And an utterly cool vintage Oroton bag that's a personal fave thanks to it's rich color and camera-style shape it is the very embodiment of utilitarian chic. I'm selling it on eBay.

I so need a cross body bag!
Love this post! And you are so right a cross body bag is needed for flea market shopping.
gosh! I sooo agree! as of lately i have been wearing my crocheted cross body bag. i dunno if you remember the ones which where IN yearssss back lol. it's the most comfy, useful and versatile bag i own. i have a few more (similar to the ones pictured) from my teen years in black, brown, etc and i have been wearing those instead of handbags b/c they look good and are comfy. plus.. no one else is wearing it much lately.
The vintage Oroton bag is beautiful.
