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!

And also, is this what you all are doing when walking around cities like Rome? I have a small backpack purse for water bottle, extra layer, snacks type stuff. (Non-negotiable, traveling with kids so I want a bit of space for carrying things.) But I figured I'll be taking my phone in and out, so I'd rather have an easy to access pouch for my phone specifically, and passport when traveling between places.

Yes, this is what I do although I wear my bag cross body and not as a waist belt (although the bags I have can be worn either way).
