With a unique balance of style and functionality, our crossbody bags are thoughtfully designed to keep up with your busy on-the-go lifestyle.

This gives it the longest durability of any leather type and allows this women's leather crossbody bag to develop a long-term, rich patina.

Whenever I’m asked to list off what everyday bags are essential must-haves, I usually try to keep it pretty general depending on each woman’s lifestyle. But there is one style that I do believe that each woman should own and that’s a small crossbody bag.

The Crossbody Bag: An Everyday Essential

A crossbody bag is the most popular bag of all the bag options. Crossbody bag gives you a hands-free option. Craftyther provides you with functional and stylish options for bags.

The leather crossbody bag has three thoughtful pockets. The main compartment is for your bigger stuff that needs to stay secure. Open the push clip and the zipper and stick your smaller tablet, e-reader, books or files in the four divided compartments. The front pocket is a super simple magnetic clip. It's easy to access and can be great for your airline ticket or any traveling gear. There's also a hidden zipper on the rear of the bag for any stuff you need to keep a close watch on. Put your smartphone in there and you'll know it's pickpocket proof. The thoughtful strap lets you carry it quickly over one shoulder or your head more comfortably as a small crossbody bag.

Handbags are a very significant part of any outfit for women. Interestingly crossbody sling bags are carried by both men and women because they serve various purposes. Men's crossbody bag online options are numerous and these are great hits with celebrities.

The crossbody sling bag was originally designed to be carried diagonally across the body. It can be carried any way you like. But wearing it diagonally over one shoulder increases the functionality of the bag.

The crossbody sling bag when placed across the body is always in your sight as it is in front of you. It is helpful when you are running errands or traveling.

There are no rules as to how you need to wear a crossbody bag! Unlike sling bags, cross-body bags don’t need much attention while carrying them. While sling bags can take up your arm, you can effortlessly wrap designer crossbody bags around your body from one shoulder and let it hang on the other side. This way you can be hands-free.

Why Crossbody Sling Bags are so Popular?

Crossbody sling bag popularity has been soaring high in modern times since 2010 and people prefer them over shoulder bags. The primary reason for their popularity is safety since the bag is held closely to the body and it always remains in sight so they are less likely to get snatched.

Cross bags for women are generally smaller than regular shoulder bags making them lighter. Women tend to put various things in their bags, but they usually put only the essentials in their crossbody sling bags. Cross bags for women come with extra-long straps which usually make the strain on the shoulder much less.

Cross bags for women come in various shapes and sizes which serve versatility and style alike. Women carry their essentials like money, credit cards and phones in their crossbody sling bags for evening parties and look trendy and stylish.

Cross bags for women are equally popular especially during travel and in tourist destinations. Tourist destinations attract pick-pocket miscreants and it is much easier to pick up your wallet or passport from the back pocket. But it is easy and convenient to carry essentials like a passport and money in a Cross bag for women and is much safer knowing it is always closer to the body and in sight. You can find side purses online for men and women on Craftyhther at affordable prices and they are so versatile.

Benefits of Using Crossbody Sling Bag

The reason for the popularity of Crossbody bags lies in their benefits and versatility. They are more than beneficial for both men and women.

1. Keeps your Hands Free

When taken over one shoulder across the body it frees up both of your hands, unlike shoulder bags which you constantly need to hold even when it’s on your shoulder. It’s great for moms with small kids, or if you are running errands and need both of your hands-frees.

2. Instant Access to contents in your bag

Since the bag remains in front of your body and sight you don’t need to take off the bag to access any of the contents. It offers you the fastest access to your phone or purse unlike backpacks or shoulder bags.

3.  Comfort

When you are traveling, shoulder pain is the last thing you want. The crossbody sling bag comes with long straps so that you don’t feel the pressure of weight on the shoulder. And since they are mostly compact you don’t tend to fill it up with too much stuff.

4. Endless Variety of Style

From fresh floral styles to quilted leather, from denim to fancy sequence – you can never run out of style in cross bags for women. They come in various shapes and sizes making them perfect for a night out or a day in the city. Cross bags for men in canvas or leather are perfect for travel.

5. Versatile & Adjustable

Most side purses for women have adjustable straps to alter their height easily – so you can carry them in different ways making them versatile.

6.  Priced Just Right

Crossbody bags are priced just right and way less than shoulder bags and tote bags because they are compact and comparatively smaller in size. So you can always stock up on a variety of designs of cross bags for women.

Keep your designer crossbody bags in good condition

Designer crossbody bags are made using only the finest fabrics. These bags are very convenient for women as they can freely make use of both their hands when they’re out. These premium crossbody bags for women will be a favorite accessory for many years to come. Yet, you need to pay some attention to protect them from dust particles and moisture by keeping them in a closed space or wrapped properly.

Color Palette

When you are considering a crossbody purse, it’s important to consider your wardrobe color palette. Are your clothing pieces made up of warm or cool colors?  A mixture of both?  Black leather crossbody and brown leather crossbody accessories are a great color palette starting point as they will pair with just about everything in a wardrobe.  A neutral and black crossbody bag is one of those classic pieces that will never go out of style.

Size

When it comes to deciding on crossbody size, it’s important to consider what you can fit into it for regular use, how much space it holds inside, and where it falls around your hips. A bag that’s too large will immediately feel like it’s swallowing you up or it’s too heavy. A small crossbody bag is very versatile. It can go with every outfit and it’s easy to carry also. A small crossbody purse will allow for arm movement while laying just right at your hips so it doesn’t feel like it’s in the way.   

Material and Feel

It’s important to consider material when purchasing a bag.  For me, that means non-synthetic materials that will stand the test of time.  When I feel a bag, I want it to be soft, malleable, and have a feeling of quality.  

This holiday, if you are in the market for a classic, neutral crossbody bag, Craftyther Crossbody is one that I would highly recommend.  It checks off all the boxes of a great quality bag and the price point is wonderful. 

How to keep cross-body bags clean?

• Store them in places where your bags can breathe. You can use the shelves of a cupboard to store them
• Keep them in dust covers in an upright position.
• Never throw away the silica gel sachet that comes along with the bags. That is used to absorb excess moisture in the air.
