20 Best Cross Body Bags For Travel (2023 Updated)

This is a great bag! Well made, nice security features and a sophisticated design! Nice fabric with nice lining that feels quite luxe. I am 59 and liked the longer length of the adjustable crossbody strapit gave me enough to adjust it to the right length and then some.

The first bag received had a small manufacturing defect, and eBags couldn’t have a better exchange process. They responded to my request quickly, sent an email immediately with a prepaid return label, and sent the replacement out by 2nd day air before I even dropped the first one off at UPS! It is a great bag from a great customer focused company.

Keep up the good work eBags!.

This is a well constructed Handbag. The color is a “Dark Purple” which I absolutely Love! Its Large enough to put all your things in. It can withstand punishment. I love it. The Zippers are very Strong and Secure.

The zippers don’t catch onto the material. The Lining in the purse is well constructed. Its a very “Pretty and Stylish” handbag. The Strap is Adjustable and it is Long enough and the Strap is Sturdy and Thick.

This is not a Flimsy bag by no means. I love it, it is made of High Quality Material and the fact that it is Waterproof is a definite plus. Water just rolls right off of it and it dries quickly. Enough said.

High Quality, True to Color Nice, Sturdy Bag! You won’t be sorry with this purchase. Worth every dime. Thank you, I would Buy this Bag Again in a Different Color in a Heart Beat !!!!!!!!.

I just love this bag. It’s just the right size for shopping or work. I highly recommend anybody to buy one NOW.

Lots of pockets and places to organize your purse contents. Love the room and lightness of the purse. Can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody. Great product!

I have been buying the Everywhere Bagg for over 10 years. I have bought probably a dozen of them because there was always a zippered pocket to organize my belongings. Over the years, this bag has less and less zippered pockets.

The latest to go away was the small zippered pocket on the front that I used as a change purse. The zippered pockets on either end of the outside of the bag have changed to an open-top pocket on one end and an expanding water bottle zippered pocket on the other end.

When these were both small zippered compartments, I used one for my keys and the other for my phone accessories. The open-top pocket is useless for anything but a rolled up magazine. The water bottle pocket is not anything I carry on a regular basis either.

Also, with the latest incarnation, the strap isn’t as wide and the webbing of the strap doesn’t seem as sturdy and durable. If this latest version was my first Everywhere Bagg, I probably would rate it higher because I hadn’t experienced the original.

I will guardedly recommend it to a friend, but not the glowing review of years past. When I go to replace this bag I sadly will be looking elsewhere.

I’ve been looking for the ideal travel crossbody bag for ages. I was reluctant to spend this much on a handbag, but after a five-day trip to London I’ve decided this Tumi number was worth every penny.

It’s compact and lightweight, but holds all the stuff I need for running around the city: phone, sunglasses, currency, credit cards, some small cosmetics and keys to the Airbnb. The shoulder strap adjusts easily and is wide enough that it doesn’t cut into your shoulder.

The small outer pocket has an anti-theft zipper tab to keep your cash secure. And the exterior slip pocket can be worn against your body to keep your phone easily accessible but also secure. The styling is also beautiful and I didn’t hesitate to wear this bag into posh London restaurants.

This little crossbody is going to travel a lot of miles with me – so happy I found it!.

I absolutely LOVE this Tumi crossbody bag! Perfect size for hands free shopping. It is small, so pay attention to dimensions before ordering! Also, the longest setting for the strap is really not that long which might be an issue for taller ladies or for people willing to carry it over the coat.

I had it in deep blue color and wanted to have it in other colors, so once I saw red one online on the Nordstrom’s site on sale, I had to buy it. I actually have a tote in the same color so this crossbody bag will complement it perfectly.

As other reviewers mentioned, it’s small and could easily be placed inside the tote if needed which is perfect. I use it for grocery shopping/ shopping, in the airport (you can hide it inside the backpack if needed!), to kids games.

There are openings for few credit cards, so you don’t need to carry separate wallet. I usually have my credit cards, car keys, cell phone (love the pocket for it on the back! – very easy to access!), mini wet brush, hand sanitizer spray bottle (from Trader Joe’s – for size reference), lipstick, and sunglasses.

Everything fits well and bag in not heavy! Exactly what I want! Couple notes: I don’t like the location of credit card pockets. I prefer it on the opposite wall for easier access. Strap could be a little longer! Pay attention to the color – if you are going to use it on daily basis – stick with darker colors! Bright colors attach dirt like magnet.

Most stains are easy to get rid of (I use cleaning spray Tumi carry), but some oily will be their forever. As I mention I have red tote and have to clean it once every few months. Highly recommend this bag! Love all my Tumi pieces!.

I bought this purse to replace my small Matt & Nat purse because I thought the Fossil Kinley Small would be slightly larger, but it’s not. The Fossil Kinley Small is too small but the Fossil Kinley is too large for my everyday carry items.

When I pack my sunglasses, small wallet, pens, keys, travel-size hand sanitizer, small notepad, and phone in the purse, everything is packed too tightly to remove items from the purse with ease. The only thing I like about this purse is it’s organization (it has pockets and storage instead of one cavernous space) and aesthetics.

Fossil needs to offer a Kinley “Medium” whose size falls in between the Kinley Small and the regular Kinley crossbody.

I love all of the pockets and the rfid protection. Black goes with everything. Sharp looking accessory.

Lightweight. But front compartment may be attractive target for thieves in a crowd.

Midnight is a good name for the color, it is such a dark blue that you almost don’t want to call it blue but it’s definitely not black. Some of the features are a bit awkward, such as there is no specific place to put your keys, unless it is supposed to be with the little search light.

To use it, you have to open the main pocket completely and then reach almost halfway down inside the purse to find the thin band it is on. The keys themselves are basically on the bottom of the purse.

I also find the card slots an oddity, though I have used them. If I have a wallet, 99% of the time I would keep any Credit or ID cards in the wallet, however sometimes it comes in handy when I know I will just pop in and right back out somewhere or go through a drive thru.

What I Love, this is the first cross body purse I actually felt comfortable wearing cross body. I love the security to prevent grab and go thieves. Attach it to a cart with the shoulder strap, top zipper clasp is ingenuous.

I bought the black bag. I didn’t think I would like it honestly. But I felt that I would give it a try. I wanted an everyday organizer bag, which allowed me not to carry a traditional wallet and would allow me to streamline all the things I usually carry.

This bag works great and is very comfortable to wear. So far, no problems with zippers or loosening of the straps. Very understated and roomy for the size. It is a medium-sized bag; I can organize my credit cards and passport and money without a bulky wallet.

The security features are a plus along with the RFID protection. I have had a bag slashed, and I have had credit card compromises in the past. I think that I will have some peace of mind with this bag, especially when traveling.

Love my new Zoe Crossbody RFID Hobo. Big enough to put all essentials in for carrying on plane and being cross-body leaves hands free. Zip pocket at back and small stud pocket at front for slipping in phone, passport etc, those things that you need to keep producing when checking in at airports etc.

Main bag is two zippered pockets with more internal pockets to store items and retrieve them easily. The perfect travel bag but best of all, it’s a vegan product! Also the packaging is eco-friendly with plastic packaging made from plant material and can be put in compost bin to breakdown thus no plastic waste.

Thank you Zoomlite!.

Amazingly speedy delivery of a great product on special. What more could I want? I’m hooked on the Zoomlite goodies and have already indulged in packing cubes and other travel accessories (which can now be put through their paces again long haul).

Always useful, high quality and now now increasingly sustainable. Buy with great confidence.

Firstly I am very impressed with your speed of service; I ordered this bag on Thursday 5/12 & received it in Perth on Monday 9/12. Excellent! Now to the bag itself. I’ve bought this to use on a trip next year so haven’t used it yet.

But I’m very impressed with the size of it – I can see that it will carry everything I need when I’m out & about sightseeing. The security features are good & the crossbody strap is nice & sturdy. There are a good amount of pockets for storing phone, keys, pens etc so they can be easily found.

Really happy with my purchase.

I bought this crossbody bag to carry a few items to physical therapy, Tai Chi and errands. It’s so easy to find things. Two perfectly sized pockets on inside and out. Very durable bag and in bold colors.

I got the purple one. It easily holds two paid of glasses, billfold, cosmetics bag, two phones. Has an adjustable strap. Easy to carry.

I bought this bag to take with me as a carry-on as well as to use as an every day travel bag on a recent trip to Argentina. It was absolutely perfect for me. Perfect size, great quality, and the back pocket was perfect for my passport and wallet and other things I needed quick access to.

This is a great durable bag. Water resistant, if not waterproof! Beautiful color. Strap is adjustable. Pocket inside and outside. Fits a water bottle and all the Mom snacks!

Just received my bag and it is absolutely beautiful! I opted for all of the extra options and I’m really glad I did. The exterior pockets are perfect for my phone and a mask. \nThe leather quality is very high and all of the sticking and zippers seem to be as well.

The color is absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait for the leather to age a bit. \n\nDue to covid and USPS it took almost three months to get here (Nothing Sandra could have done. my bag was shipped from her within 5 days).

Sandra responded quickly to all of my worried question about it’s arrival time and was up to date on the newest shipping delays.

I absolutely LOVE my bag. I have been on a quest for the perfect bag for most of my life, and in my later years, have found it with Sanumi Leather. I purchased a small gray (is a very nice taupey dove gray) handbag with short 4.

1” handles, crossbody strap, front pockets, top zipper and inside zipped pocket. It has more than enough room for my things, and then some. Leather is beautiful and substantial with a lovely finish. I did treat to protect it, which brought out its taupe shade more.

It is perfect! I looked at this bag for about 1-1/2 yrs before actually buying. Would not normally purchase an item like this online or from overseas, in case it was not what I expected. This is what I hoped for, and so much more! Sandra is a dream to work with.

So glad I found her and her fabulous bags! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my new bag!!!!.

LOVE this bag! The leather is super thick and the front pockets are nice and deep, but not too tight – things easily slide in and out (like a phone, or lipgloss). It smells deliciously of quality leather.

The main handles are long enough that I can easily pick it up with one hand and get it onto my shoulder without my elbow getting stuck (and doesn’t require two hands). The grommets on the outside that the long strap attaches to are super solid and smartly placed in enough from the seam that I know they’ll never break the leather under the weight of the bag! I’m mostly using this as a work bag, but it could easily be a baby bag as well.

Absolutely love it! If I had to offer any improvements the only thing would be that a bag at this price point should have little metal pegs on the bottom to protect it when put down.

I found this product because I was looking for a vegan work tote that could hold my laptop, and this bag does that and so much more! I originally ordered it in taupe, but I thought the color looked more tan when it arrived.

I didn’t like the tan color, so I ordered another in black and gifted the taupe to a friend for her graduation. The only drawbacks to this bag are that the seam for the laptop sleeve unraveled after a short time and I had to repair it, and the water bottle pocket is a little weird.

I use the latter to carry my sunglasses case instead. I had emailed The Vegan Warehouse about my issue of the seam unraveling after only having the tote for about 3-4 months, and even though it was outside of my order window, they still went above and beyond to do what they could to make sure I was happy with my order and gave me store credit either to get a replacement or to find something else through the site.

Overall I ended up happy with both my order and the customer service, and I got to try some other amazing products that I’ve reviewed as well!.

I loved my Taupe Paloma so much, I ordered another one in Black. I just used it for a short trip where I needed to keep paperwork and several medications with me. The organization is perfect! Some bags have so many pockets and sections, that you can’t remember what you put where.

This bag has just the right amount of organization. There’s even a special soft-lined, insulated water bottle pocket! But, my favorite part of the bag is the zipped “trolley” strap on the back. You just unzip the bottom and it slides over your luggage.

Otherwise, you keep it zipped and it’s a great outside pocket!! Just a beautiful bag!.

I bought this tote in the cute taupe color and I have been using it for only a week but I know it’s going to be the one bag I use over and over again. I’m a big bag gal so I love the size for my day to day but for others, it may be a little too much for every day.

BUT you also have the option to bring it with you on vacation. It has so many pockets and convenient little features like the key chain that holds small things, the waterbottle slot and the big pocket on the back that you can use for luggage.

I’ve never been so organized in my life!!! Recommended x100!!.

It’s great! One compartment has my epi-pen and associated meds, and will hold my small ipad if I want, while I have two phones in the slots oft the other compartment along with my wallet and key clip.

I live from that area. Sling it across my body and always have with me my key items, then I slide it into my bigger handbag when I need to carry more, it’s perfect. Oh and so stylish which is not really usual for pacsafe.

It’s really smart and so light. Do wish it had a top handle but that’s probably asking too much. But love this and recommend highly.

Perfect for travelling overseas. This bag is stylish and sits comfortably. Lots of secure compartments. It’s very lightweight so can carry all the essentials. A great buy.

Great product! I’m using it as my everyday bag. It’s light and very roomy. Had a separate padded pocket for a tablet /small laptop inside as well as a good sized zippered RFID pocket big enough to take a wallet /passport and a few more items.

The pen holder and keyring clip are very handy. The 2 zippered pockets in front are a good size too. The water bottle pocket is big enough to take my Sport Tanka bottle in its neoprene cooler. I’ve bought from this site before, great service as always!.

I ordered a different bag 3 weeks ago but ended up returning that one. Then last week I ordered this one. -Classic and relatively dressy casual. Black color is cold but the the gold add warmth to it which make this purse go with every dressy outfit.

I will see myself use it everywhere other than grocery shopping lol. That said, I wish it was a little smaller. I thought of returning it upon receiving it(bc of the size), but i tried it with different outfits and quickly fallen in love with it.

It elevates every outfit. Get it when it is available.

Just received this beautiful satchel. I love the color, it’s not the normal camel etc color you usually see. Can’t beat the workmanship. I usually buy black handbags but couldn’t find one I really admired.

Handles are so smooth, zipper is the smoothest ever, entire handbag is awesome. Cannot find anything I don’t like. It’s a tad small, but anything bigger would have been too large. I have another MK that’s beautiful and going strong, just too large now.

I’m happy I bought it. Also only took 5 days to receive yea!.

Shipping took a while – nearly 3 weeks, but when the bag arrived, it was beautifully packaged. The leather is soft and smells good. I love all the pockets and places to put things and from the ads, the bag seemed plenty big (same size as my old bag), but when I started putting my stuff in, I realized the pockets have no real width or give to them.

They’re great for thin, flat things (like checkbooks, credit cards, phone), but anything bulky (like sunglasses, compacts, or several keys on keyrings) bulge through the leather since it doesn’t have a wide enough space and then the pockets that simply snap are less likely to come together because there are too many bulky items.

Instead of so many individual pockets, I think at least two could have been combined to make one larger pocket for bulkier items. I think I would also prefer that the credit cards be in a zippered pocket instead of a snap pocket that could easily be opened and pickpocketed.

After paying this much for a bag, I’ll make it work though.

I have been looking for a bag that is on the smaller side but can still carry my essentials and look nice enough that I don’t have to change it all the time. I found this beauty! It holds all of my things and in a very organized way.

I love that I don’t need a separate wallet. That helps keep it lighter and more convenient. The leather is absolutely beautiful and the lining is also high quality with one section having a very soft inner lining.

It came with the usual natural leather smell. It wasn’t too powerful but it was there. Personally, I like that smell but for those who don’t I just want to make you aware. I would highly recommend this bag and this company.

I will probably be purchasing another.

I have been searching for a lonnnnnng time trying to find a decent sized crossbody, not too big but a little bigger than you usually find, with lots of organization. This fits the bill. It is fantastic so I immediately ordered a second one in another color.

The only thing I would add is a slip pocket on the outside for my cell phone. But still great! This is also one of the least expensive leather purses I have purchased so that was great, too. I also loved spreading things out a bit more to make pockets less bulky.

Usually purses have 1 large cavity with 2 slip pockets and 1 zippered pocket. I love all the extra room. I couldn’t even fill it all up. But I don’t like lugging around a whole lot os stuff either. It is perfect.

I have looked at Consuela bags for many months, but this was my first purchase. I love the bag, but hate the strap and the way it attaches to the bag. I literally do not see how the strap is adjustable, and the leather ties are almost certain to break.

Also, when they are tied they hag very long on each side of the bag, and even upon first use it got tangled up in my other stuff (car doors, etc. ). I ended up cutting the length of the straps that hold the handle in place but this is a serious design flaw of an otherwise gorgeous bag.

I simply cannot carry it and now I cannot return it either because I cut the straps. Please find another way to attach the strap to the bag. The current way simply does not work. Glad I did not spend more on this bag despite its otherwise great qualities.

Suggestions of how I can fix it would be appreciated.

I’d seen bags of varying sizes being used by several friends. I wasn’t sure whether or not I liked such bold patterns. While I’m a sucker for bold and bright colors, patterns is another thing entirely.

However, I’d been lurking and sneaking peeks online. Finally, I decided to pull the trigger due to a pending girls trip I had. I wanted a cross body due to having hands free for shopping and imbibing.

After looking around at my go-to designers, my girlfriend reminded me about Consuela. I said ok, let me find a pattern that I can work with and lo and behold Merlot fit the bill! I’ve not looked back since and am now trying to finagle a trip to Smithville.

I really liked the style of this bag and how it’s fully wipe-able, inside and out. It fits a lot: my full size wallet, phone, sunglasses and small make-up bag all fit for me. The colors of the bag, however, look a lot different in person than online.

On the main body of the bag, the color of the print isn’t as vibrant as it appears on the website, it looks more muted. And the cross-body strap reads very “brown” – brown is pretty much the predominant color of the strap.

I don’t really care for brown and never wear it. For these reasons I returned the bag, but I might try this style in a different color.
