For travel, try a photographer’s vest: many pockets, and it’s a great way to add one bag to the two (or one) they allow on a plane. Weight (camera, phone, water bottle, book, maps, tourguide, plus wallet, sunglasses, reading glasses, cosmetics, passport, etc.) is much better distributed than in a tote-bag or large purse.

The “wallet” is actually the hang-around-your-neck zipper bag, for those places where the vest can’t go.

I also pack a fanny-pack, but mine is leather and has a rotating strap so that I can carry it like a purse to nice restaurants.
