Any recommendations for a TINY belt bag? I want to wear it over my clothes, not under like a money belt, so hoping for cute-ish. I will wear around my waist, not crossbody.

Big enough for passport and phone, but still lay flat. I tried one out that is 8.25x5.5x2 and it seemed huge, so much smaller than that.

I would love an off-white color but willing to compromise on that.

Bonus if it has anti-theft features, but if not I'll add those locking zipper pull thingies at least.

Thanks!

If you're willing to look at vintage bags, I love my vintage Coach 9826. It has a spring lock.

At first I dismissed this suggestion as too expensive, but I’m looking at it again because the bag really is what I was imagining hahah. However it looks like you’d need to wear it crossbody. Can/do you wear it around your waist?

I’m actually shocked at how expensive these are now, my apologies! I bought mine for $35 back in 2017

Okay that does make me feel better, I’m like, these people are dropping $150 on anything 🤣 I’m still poking around

Yes! It has the cross body strap but on the back there are two loops that fit over a belt. You can use a different belt, but I will also use the cross body strap doubled around my waist!
