Crossbody Bag Round-Up

I am head over heels for the crossbody bag.  I recently was gifted one by my generous husband on Valentine's Day.  This classic staple is what I have long considered the quintessential travel bag, as it allows you to enjoy both form and function.  A larger crossbody can house all of your essentials and can dissuade  errant pickpockets from honing in on you as an easy target.  Orient the bag close to the front of your body with a firm hand, and that pickpocket won't even give you a second look.  To take it from day to night, remove the strap and use at as a clutch.  These versatile bags can be enjoyed both at home or wherever your travels may take you!
