I just returned from a couple weeks in Ravenna and Florence. I needed to pack very light because I knew I was going to be lugging home art projects that I made during my travels. I decided to try one of those micro size Nanobags (cross body) that you can find on Amazon. It was my most used item! It is so small that it easily fits in a small crossbody (Baggallini triple zip which I also loved) or in a pocket and I carried it with me everywhere. It held a lot-wine, groceries, mosaics, you name it. It doesn’t look like much and it I wasn’t sure it if was worth the $15.99 I paid but boy am I glad I had it. I even used it as a plane carryon on my way home. It has earned a permanent spot in all my future travels.

I’m not sure if this will work but I’ll give it a try. My tech skills are sadly lacking.

Thanks Cindy, that was a better set of key words to search on, so I think I found it: https://a.co/d/hIIGW0E

That’s it! Thank you! I bought the blue sling. Worked like a crossbody to distribute the weight.

I was just about to post a reminder to people who have been talking about getting a spare light bag not to overlook the hiking and camping stores -- there are plenty of 20 or 22 liter strong yet light bags that fold down to roughly the size of a large egg.
As another side comment, a woman down the block here has a great sense of humor -- she has a double-size beach bag in the tote style of the nanobag that CindyP points us to, and the side of the bag reads "just the essentials"
