Jet-setting this summer? These are the 6 best small travel purses to take on your next adventure

With its small silhouette and zipper closure, the boxy camera bag is perfect for travel. Madewell’s version features lightweight, buttery leather that won’t add extra heft. It comes with a shorter and wider cream-colored webbed strap as well as a longer, thinner leather strap. Both are adjustable and can be swapped out for one another depending on the look you’re going for. The purse has one flat outer pocket and a roomy inner pocket that’ll fit the essentials: phone, keys, wallet and a few other small items. It’s also available in black and crocheted leather, and until July 20, you can get 25% off with the code SUNDAZE.

If the fanny pack still sounds to you like a relic of the third grade, it’s time to reconsider. The size, safety and convenience make it great for when you’re on the go, and the options are better-looking than ones you wore in grade school. This sleek, elegant take from Kate Spade will instantly upgrade any vacation outfit. It’s made from soft pebbled leather and has sophisticated gold hardware. The strap is adjustable by more than a foot and can be easily worn around your waist or across your chest. Fit all your must-haves in the microsuede-lined main pocket.

When you truly just need the basics, try a phone pouch. It’s kind of like a cross between a wallet and a purse but with a convenient crossbody strap rather than the much shorter wristlet strap. At just under 5 x 7 in., this one fits your phone (duh), keys and some ChapStick. It also has flat inner pockets for your cards and some cash. (Double duty alert: It’s small enough to meet most event space bag policies.) The top-grain Italian pebbled leather pouch is super lightweight and will take up hardly any extra space if you need to pack it. Best of all, Quince cuts out the usual supply chain costs to offer high-quality items at a fraction of what you’d pay elsewhere.

The price on this little crossbody is truly unbeatable. It’s got tons of secure pockets, with a main zipper pocket accessible that opens across the top as well as two zipper pockets in the front and one more in back. There are also a bunch of internal compartments to help you be your most organized self. The purse is made of classy-looking ​​polyurethane leather and features trendy tassel zipper pulls in front, with an ultra-slim shape that won’t add any extra bulk to your look. Choose from one of 17 different neutrals and colors.

For trips that include tons of outdoorsy adventures, this rugged waist pack is your best bet. It’s made of ripstop recycled nylon and polyester that will keep everything inside safe and dry no matter what’s going on with the weather. In addition to the main pocket and front stash pocket, there’s a secret compartment in back for your valuables. Plus, the strap extends long enough that it’ll also work as a chest bag if that’s the look you prefer.

If safety is the biggest thing on your mind, opt for this super secure and totally cute crossbody. A stainless steel wire threads through the adjustable crossbody strap, making it nearly impossible to cut off your shoulder. The body of the bag has special mesh construction that’s similarly slash-resistant. Each external zipper compartment locks shut, and there’s also locking hardware around the shoulder strap that allows you to secure the entire bag to any stationary object. Plus, RFID-blocking inner pockets keep you safe from electronic identity theft.
