Help! I need a cross body bag

I just came back from a family holiday and during the weekend getaway I brought my Chanel Biarritz. Before leaving home I thought that I would need a BIG bag as I anticipated to stuff my bag with iPad, mobile phone, mobile phone charger, wallet, cosmetic pouch, foldable baby carrier, mobile banking devices, small writing pad, toys and camera. As expected I ended up carrying a full and heavy bag. Plus I have to carry my 10month old baby in baby carrier (i.e. baby was carried in front or in kangoroo style). Comfort was not my main objective during the trip. I focused on my baby comfort and safety and being not-to-forget-anything-so-just-put-everything-in-the-bag.

Then I just realized that I do not have a nice and comfortable cross body bag. I do have a Balenciaga Velo Black RGGH (that can be worn cross body) and Prada nylon small crossbody bag. But they’re still too big or too small (or too heavy in the case of Bal Velo RGGH) for me just to carry my essentials.

So now I need (and want) a nice, stylish and comfortable cross body bag and officially I am in the hunt for it.

I plan to stuff my (future) cross body bag with

• Wallet (continental/zipper style)
• Mobile phone
• Credit card case
• Pencil case
• Small mirror
• Tissue

Yup, I do not intend to put my cosmetic pouch inside the bag :p

And the criteria that I am looking for are as follows

• Lightweight (very important)
• Not too big and not too small, just the right size to accomodate my stuffs
• Stylish enough (ehm....)
• Easy to open or to access the bag contents
• Strap length must be suitable for my petite frame
• Worry free (meaning that I must not worry that the bag may get colour transfer from jeans)

Then I came up with few finalists from 3 brands: Louis Vuitton (Trocadero 27, Menilmontant PM, Odeon PM), Bottega Veneta and Celine (Nano Luggage).

Honestly I have not made my mind on the most preferred style or colour. I still want to try on those bags, especially LV Menilmontant and Bottega Veneta crossbody bag. I did try the Celine Nano Luggage few months ago and the size or weight is just perfect. The bag actually met my criteria. But again, trying the other bag finalists is still worth doing before I spend some cash on a rather small bag.
