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!

1. Rebecca Minkoff 5-Zip Clutch $330

4. Kate Spade Gold Coast Robin $295
6. Forever 21 Classic Leatherette Bag $29.80
7. JPK Paris 'Spark' Nylon Messenger Bag $168
8. Ann Taylor Charming Bag $148

  3. I almost always take a crossbody when I travel. Like you said, it's functional and looks good. I'm a big fan of JPK bags. The pink is really cute! Have a great weekend, Kate!

  6. Kate these are dreamy! I will say, though... in Europe I'd rock a black one only - so as not to draw added attention to it. They are SO good at pickpocketing in certain cities. But these were fierce!

  7. They are incredibly beautiful, but most of them are too expensive for me :(
    I have a few cross body bags, but I want one with these rectangle shape. Love it :) I hope I can find a less expensive version =P
