I am a minimalist. I bought this black one at a department store. It holds: a wallet that could go in your back pocket, a large handful of change, a pack of smokes and a lighter, a LARGE Cell Phone (G2X with rubber outside protector), a pack of gum, a thing of lip-gloss and my checks (not in a checkbook wallet - but not loose).

With content listed above, only the smokes make it a bit bulky but that is because i put them on the outside pocket. So if you don't smoke, which I hope you don't, and you don't mind that it is leather ... and you are a minimalist, this is the perfect purse.

The construction is unbeatable -- I mean seriously durable. Great too for hopping on a Harley as the heavy duty metal loops will slide right into your belt when you put it on.

I love that it goes across my chest (34 C/D) in a way that feels like its not even there.

I bought this because I kept dropping my cell phone now that its too big for my back pocket.

This purse also reduces risk of theft -- you can adjust it to fit under jackets etc. Its barely noticeable when flat and hugs to my side (even though I am only 5'0).

It, in my opinion, looks nice enough for a dress but works well with jeans and flip flops.

I will be handing this down to my daughter :)
