With color-coded compartments and a built-in mirror, this little Madewell cross-body is everything you need in a handbag. Unlike a heavy tote, it’ll force you not to schlep around too much — it won’t fit more than an iPad Mini or a paperback. Carry it by the shoulder strap or as a clutch for a functional, everyday look.
The Twin-Pouch Cross-Body, $138 at Madewell.
