Cannot find perfect handbag.....

I want a fairly soft leather crossbody with at least one outside slip pocket.  I want it to be a medium size 11x 8 and maybe 3 inches wide approximately.  If to thin it will not stand up and things look like they bulge out and when too wide it stands away from body too much.  I want metal zippers on it.   I would like a neutral color brown or gray.  I like a fairly wide opening so I do not have to maneuver my wallet into it.   I just cannot find what I want.  Anyone run across something like this.

Gee  When I watch D&B it seems like ALL their smaller bags fit your description.  For me - don't want cross - don't want soft - and too small.  I hunt for a 13 x ? that goes East - West..............very few of my dream out there.

@chiclet,

I too have gotten very detail specific with handbags since I retired.   No more big, bulky bags for me.   

 

If you haven't already, check out Fossil.   While reading your qualifications, one bag automatically popped in my head, and is the one I’ve been eyeing for awhile now.

I am of the opinion that there is no perfect handbag.
