Start with what you carry most days. If your essentials are a phone, wallet, and keys, a compact crossbody like the DELIAT 7902 is a good starting point. If you prefer a bag that sits close to your body, try the 8012 sling. For a larger upright bag, consider the 7107. If you prefer a wider opening and a flap with two buckles, look at the A-11 messenger bag.

Choose the pocket layout you’ll use most

Think about which items you reach for first. The 7902 has two front zip pockets, so you can keep keys separate from items you take out frequently. The 7107 pairs a front zip pocket with a larger upright body, useful if you carry a small notebook along with your usual essentials.
The 8012 combines a tapered body, an adjustable single strap, and a front zip pocket. The A-11 has a full-width flap secured by two buckles. Its horizontal layout is a good match if you prefer to arrange items side by side.

Check how the bag will fit

If you often switch between carrying your bag by hand and wearing it across your body, the top handles on the 7902 and 7107 give you both options. If you plan to carry a specific tablet, e-reader, or notebook, measure it with its case and check both the bag’s interior dimensions and the width of its opening. The measurements in the table are exterior dimensions.
