The 19 Best Crossbody Bags Available Now, Whether For Investment Or Utility

While unquestionably the most utilitarian crossbody on this list, Baggallini’s Everyday Crossbody Bag is nothing to stick up your nose at. The compact but über-functional crossbody features multiple pockets to keep all your travel essentials organized, and the casual but clean design makes it a must-have for dressed-down days.

What people are saying: “This is a great everyday bag or a travel bag because of the wallet pocket and other handy organization features.”

Beyoncé said it best herself: “This Telfar bag imported. Birkins? Them shit’s in storage.” The Black-owned handbag brand launched by Telfar Clemons in 2005, occasionally (and affectionately) known as the “Bushwick Birkin,” is one of the buzziest handbag brands in the business, not the least of which is due to its affordable price point and exquisite vegan leather. The Shopping Bag design sells out every time Telfar announces a new drop, so your best bet is to hunt resale sites for a lucky find.

A hobo-crossbody hybrid, this buttery but bright model from Madewell is a fantastic choice for toting the essentials—hand sanitizer, lipstick, sunglasses, wallet, phone—while maintaining a slick aesthetic.

What people are saying: “Such a perfect little bag! Soft leather, magnet closure, perfect small handle, and long strap. Got the fuchsia color and it’s gorgeous.”

Looking for a high-quality handbag under $100? You’ve seen it on your favorite celebrities and Tik Tok influencers, behold JW PEI’s Mini Flap Crossbody. Coming in various colors, this trending bag offers structure and ample space for your belongings. In addition to being one of the most-desired handbags, you won’t break the bank adding this croc beauty to your collection.

You knew it was coming: Has there ever been as instantly recognizable a handbag as the Chanel Mini Flap? We’d know that quilted texture and gold chain strap anywhere. Thankfully, so would most resellers—Gorra singles out this Chanel buy as one of the best investments to make right now.

Looking for a roomier crossbody that doesn’t quite reach the proportions of a tote? The Cuyana Double Loop Bag is the ideal compromise: well-crafted with plenty of room for more than the necessities, but never, ever sacrificing style.

We’d be remiss to not include Parker Clay, a small handbag brand that’s won us over with their soft leather, practical design, and ethical mission. The Eden Carryall is a particular favorite; it doubles as both a tote and a crossbody, making it the ideal up-for-anything bag. Plus, that price point is unbeatable!

What people are saying: “It works as my daily bag as it literally carries it all. I can fit my laptop, files, wallet, etc. with room to spare and bonus, it’s gorgeous.”

We love a little round bag. Don’t you love a little round bag? They’re cute and simple and elegant with an aesthetic that reminds us of our early-aughts CD case-carrying habit. The top handle on this Cuyana pick means you can also wear it as a chic evening bag—no matter the night’s soundtrack.

Woven texture is a rising trend amongst accessories, and Milaner nailed it with their Italian leather Belinda bag, which can be worn as a shoulder bag or a crossbody bag. Plus, it’s much roomier than it looks, making it not only minimalist but convenient.

What people are saying: “The leather is so soft and it’s just the perfect size.”

DeMellier’s line of city-inspired handbags brilliantly bridges the gap between timeless and trendy, capturing the former with classic color palettes and sleek gold hardware, and the latter with clever twists on expected shapes. The Vancouver design, for instance, is a smart envelope-meets-saddlebag style, perfect for practically any occasion.

What people are saying: “It is classically chic and extremely functional.”

Introduced just eight years ago, the Puzzle Bag was the first new bag created by Jonathan Anderson for Loewe. Along with its interchangeable straps, the origami-style shaped bag can be worn five different ways; as a crossbody, shoulder bag, held by the top handle, or worn as a clutch once folded flat. Inspired by the monochrome glazes of ancient Chinese ceramics, the cuboid-shaped accessory is the perfect choice if you’re looking for something utterly unique, yet versatile.

What people are saying: “Excellent quality and craftsmanship! Loewe’s reputation for quality designer leather pieces shines with this bag.”

We’ve seen nearly every bucket and tote bag on the market, but there’s something about Staud’s Mini Shirley Leather Bag that feels uniquely chic. Perhaps it’s the bag’s delicate blush color or the unbranded simplicity. Or maybe it’s the pouch inside making this an insane 2-for-1 deal? Either way, the Mini Shirley will always be a solid investment.

Another celeb favorite—spot it on Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid—the Prada Re-Edition is one of the luxury brand’s reissued early-aughts staples, and it can be worn as a shoulder bag or a (tight) crossbody, depending on your desired look. We’ll throw it in the crossbody category because it’s so highly coveted; Gorra says it was another of Rebag’s most popular designs.

As a lover of clouds and dumplings, I’m all for the rise of sculptural clutch bags. Mansur Gavriel’s buttery soft Mini Cloud Clutch is the perfect combination of cute and elegant. Maintaining a luxe feel while being able to hold your keys, phone, wallet, sunglasses, and even water bottle, the Cloud Clutch may be the next bag of your dreams.

What people are saying: “Perfect for venue restrictions on bag sizes.”

Calling all Ganni girls: The Banner Nano Saddle is your new best friend. Trendy, yet functional and simple, the sustainable model is the perfect option for a girl-on-the-go. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, the shoulder strap also detaches instantly transforming the bag into a belt. Plus, you can spice up your collection with the several eye-catching colors offered.

This baby’s been on the rise. According to Gorra, searches on Rebag for the Celine Triomphe are up 319 percent compared to the same period last year, which makes sense—the gleaming calfskin and rich color makes this crossbody feel almost criminal to keep in a dust bag.

You’ve seen it on the hips of Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, and even the Kardashian sisters. Jacquemus’ viral micro bag, the Le Chiquito, is a stunning but affordable luxury bag with great resale value, a trendy pop of color, and an attractive top handle that easily transitions the bag from a crossbody to a hand-held.

As much as a well-recognized silhouette—a hobo, a saddlebag, or an envelope clutch, for instance—can contribute to a piece’s longevity, there’s something thrilling about a new shape landing on the handbag market. Noiranca’s triangular Grace Mini is one such find, made from vegan leather and designed to be worn cross-body or hand-held (peep the adorable top handle).

From Doja Cat to the Kardashians, Coperni’s Crossbody Mini Swipe Bag has been seen carried by some of Hollywood’s finest. Dare we call it a more affordable It bag? Whether you want to wear it as arm-candy or slung across the body, you’re bound to make a statement with this curvaceous bag.
