I've got my eye set on these medium size leather carry-all pouches from American Apparel. Firstly because they come in an array of colours to suit everyone's style - from the 'you can't go wrong' colours of black, brown and taupe to some of the more vibrant yellows, pinks and greens, the perfect accessory if you're going for the colour block look. I personally have yet to decide whether to play it safe or to try something a little out of my colour comfort zone. Secondly it's great for it's versatility. Carry it like a clutch under your arm or fold the top over and keep it by your side. It's large enough to hold your daily essentials but not to awkward or uncomfortable to hold.
Although I have to say it reminds me of those giant tartan pencil cases everyone used to have in primary school, I'm all for it. When I go out to dinner I tend to carry around my phone, wallet and keys (taking extra precautions to make sure I don't leave them at the table) but this will be the perfect alternative for when over the shoulder bags don't go with my outfit (or I'm too lazy to carry them).
If you're willing to splurge you might want to consider a Celine clutch, but for those of us who are a little tight on cash - the American Apparel carry-all's are cheap and chic!
