About Cross Body Bags

Just as the name suggests, cross-body bags are meant to be worn across the body. They are typically smaller in size with a zip-top or flap closure and extra long shoulder straps.

Many people prefer these bags because they stay out of the way and keep you hands-free while on the go. However, more recently, cross-body handbags have become very fashion forward with everyone from top designers to affordable trendy brands offering their take on this classic shape.

Cross body bags not only make excellent everyday handbags, but they also work well as travel handbags. Brands like eBags and Baggallini offer styles with lots of organization designed to keep your travel essentials handy without getting in the way while you're out sightseeing.
