I use a Madewell Transport crossbody bag. I tend to switch out my bags with the seasons, but this one gets the most use. I’m not big on pockets, I carry just a small wallet, iPhone, keys and lipstick. I don’t like a lot of extraneous stuff floating around in my bag. Plus I am short and fairly big busted, the Transport is proportioned well for my frame.

What a fun thread. I really like a baggalini after looking at several and there is another purse in my cart at Amazon. I need to measure but think it will work and if so I’m going to order. I need a new small purse but don’t want to spend a lot on one right now.

I love crossbody bags. Great for traveling. I have purchased travelon bags which have a clasp for the zippers in high pick pocket territory. Had some young people on a Paris metro train trying to steal my bag. I had one hand on it and finally seeing what they were up to asked them to move away and I found a seat. I also love bags by baggalini, fossil and just got a light one for summer from Sak in a fun color for Mother’s Day along with a wristlet. www.thesak.com/products/all-that-crossbody?variant=32259114860602 |

I LOVE my Kipling Sabian crossbody bag and have just replaced my old one. I was lucky to find a brand new one on Mercari for a great price.
I love that it is small and has a flap but no zipper, it holds everything I need and I don't have to dig deep to find anything. It's nylon and durable.

I have a black leather Fossil crossbody for my everyday purse. It's similar to this one: www.fossil.com/en-us/products/fiona-crossbody/ZB7669200.htmlI love it. DH knew I'd been looking but my VERY specific requirements were making it difficult. (must have an outer zipped pocket for DS's EpiPens; zippered main compartment large enough for my big wallet; side interior pocket for my phone and small interior pockets for my small Purell bottle (I carried that well before Covid); wide, long strap (I'm v tall and wanted it to hit nicely on my hip); big enough to fit my Canon DSLR--but not so big it looks like a diaper bag. And a plus I didn't need until now is the exterior non-zippered pocket fits a pack of 4 KN95 masks that I keep as backups. That pocket used to hold napkins JIC someone made a mess. Who knew "mask storage" would be something we'd need to worry about?! Anyway, he gave it to me for my bday 7 years ago and it still looks great. And DH still pats himself on the back for finding it lol. I have the exact one in the link and I love it. |

I have a few, but my fav is: www.amazon.com/dp/B07413Q5YP/ref=twister_B07BBCDBMT?_encoding=UTF8&th=1I bought it for our trip to Europe a few years ago--I wanted something that would carry everything I needed for the day, including our iPad, phone, water bottle and much more. I find I use it more often than any of my other purses, though it's not as fancy as some (not leather or name brand), but it's perfect for me. |

I had been using a black, Kate Spade bag that has handles and crossbody options. The clip for the crossbody option has been coming unclipped which is a true bummer. My dd has the same bag and hers just started doing the same thing. I’ll keep it and use the handle option for outings that I don’t need a crossbody.
Now I’m using a cheap, faux/natural leather color, crossbody from Relic that I got at Kohl’s. I don’t love it, but it’s fine for now until I find one I really like.
I have a burnt orange, leather, Giani Bernini crossbody that I love for fall, and a mulberry red, leather, crossbody by Stone & Co. from Kohl’s.
I like the soft real leather bags better than any other bags. They clean well, they stretch a little and they last forever.

Thanks for starting this thread. I was beginning to think that I was the only one who didn’t have a cross body bag. I’m assuming you wear them so it sits in front of you. Crossed over. 🤪 I’ve been pretty loyal to Vera Bradley because they are so light and soft. Although my heart goes out to Kate Spade. And have some of her pieces. But, I much prefer the soft, quilted VB.

I’m not big on pockets, I carry just a small wallet, iPhone, keys and lipstick. I don’t like a lot of extraneous stuff floating around in my bag. Plus I am short and fairly big busted, the Transport is proportioned well for my frame. This is what I use too! The leather wears well, even with scratches and patina. For what it’s worth, I’m on the taller side and smaller busted, so clearly it’s good for most body types, ha. |

I have a lot of vintage coach crossbody bags but the ones I use most are by Frye. The Amy and Lucy styles.

Right now I’m using a Kipling cross body and I really like it because it’s very light and holds a lot. My pandemic bags have been mostly Kipling crossbody too! I've been using the Abanu, Arto and Myrte almost exclusively for the past 14 months. Abanu:  Arto S:  Myrte:  |

It is just big enough for a small wallet, my phone,keys, hand sanitizer and a few other small items. I just ordered myself the Sydney bag and I'm excited to try it. |
