I think us older ladies would like them. So much crime going on nowadays I carry a small cross body purse. I am a mall walker and that would be perfect for my drivers license and a few bucks and car key. I can't tell you how many times I've heard that so and so drove to the mall and left her purse in the care. It got broken into and the purse was stolen. Malls, and movie theaters are full of cars and are targets for thieves, don't leave your purse in the car.
