Travel purse recommendation needed

I need a purse for travel. We are going to Italy and I’ve read that while it is relatively safe, pickpockets are rampant.

I think I want a small leather crossbody bag that is big enough to carry 2 pair of sunglasses (if history is any indicator, I’ll have DH’s in my purse along with mine), a large smartphone, and a bit of money. Our passports will either be locked in the hotel safe or DH will be wearing them in a money belt under his clothing.

I would prefer a purse with a zipper covered by a flap. I would like to stay under $150.

I’ve looked at Nordstrom, Neimans, Amazon, Lord & Taylor, Travelsmith, and about 200 other sites. The problem I’m having is the flap-covered zipper. There are lots of purses with flaps but no zipper, or zippers but no flap. Am I looking for something that doesn’t exist?
