Crossbody Style Bags

Today's fast paced, tech-driven environment demands that you be hands free while you're on the go. This is why cross body bags have quickly become the hottest style in the handbag market. Stylish, practical and good for your body, a well-designed cross body purse is a great option for urban dwellers and mall shoppers alike.

Cross body bags have mass appeal and are available in a great assortment of styles and configurations. Whether you're looking for a cross body leather wallet-style bag or a full-size cross body purse, there's definitely a brilliant hands free option for you. The style of a cross body bag evenly distributes the weight of the bag across your body, keeping your back and shoulders from having to bear it all. Use a cross body handbag for a few days and they'll certainly be thanking you for the relief.

Originally borrowed from messenger style bags, cross body bags have become so popular, designers are even creating full sized handbags with the option of wearing it as a cross body bag. This is easy to do by way of an extra - sometimes removable - shoulder strap. If you think cross body bags are strictly utilitarian, think again. While a cross body purse is far from fussy, a petite version can work as a evening bag. Simply tuck the strap away - and voila - instant clutch! The versatility of a great cross body handbag will amaze you.
