Don't you hate it when your phone rings and you're stood there rummaging frantically in the bottom of the handbag? If you're nodding your head in agreement then we have good news for you - just get yourself a phone bag and your problems will be solved!
Disclaimer: We're big fans of roomy tote bags and stylish laptop bags, but we have to admit, it's really annoying when your cell phone rings and it's somewhere deep in your handbag - it takes forever to find!
Well, that might be a thing of the past because more compact, convenient mobile phone bags for women are trending right now and they're such a game changer.
Whether you're after a designer luxury phone bag for your Apple iPhone 15, Samsung Galaxy S24, or a cheap and cheerful mobile phone holder, you're in for a treat because there are so many stylish options to choose from.
In fact, this accessory might just be our new favourite one! Practical and chic, what's not to love? It's also great for festival season and summer holidays, keeping your valuable possession close to you. If you regularly go to the gym, you'll ask yourself how you ever managed to cope without a phone bag.
How we chose the best phone bags
Size: Different sized mobile phones factor and we can't please everyone. If you have a Samsung flip phone, you might not find what you're looking for. A lot of the suggestions below are for Apple iPhone 15, Samsung Galaxy S24 or a similar size.
How It Looks: This is an edit of stylish phone bags, so we wanted to choose the most stylish out there. Whether that's the colour choice, the material or the shape, we want shoppers to feel chic and trendy.
Practicality: Ideally, a phone bag has a cross-body strap for hands-free ease.
Safety: Some internal pockets are useful, but making sure your mobile phone can't be pinched from its carrier is of utmost importance. We were on the hunt for phone bags that have the option to conceal the contents inside.
