I love my Teya ipad bag, I sincerely do. It allows me to avoid carrying all but the kitchen sink with me and keep just what I need when I go to the town. But sometimes, I wish for something even smaller: a super convenient mini-sized bag, just for the phone, card and some change. So I designed one - the Aiden Pattern.

    Love this small purse. Only thing I’d change is to make it deep enough for a key fob. I’m going to add a tab and swivel on the back piece to hang my key but would rather have it in a pocket. In the US anyway, can get the hardware on Amazon
