Happy Thursday, Ladies! I am coming to you this evening with my favorite crossbody bag. A good crossbody bag will never let you down; they are the ultimate travel bag, great for shopping – and just about any time you need your hands free, a crossbody bag is the perfect accessory.

My favorite crossbody bag is the Riley Leather Crossbody bag from Coach I have had for years. This bag has been all over Europe with me, it’s a classic black foldover crossbody that fits all my essentials. This exact bag is no longer available, but there are similar versions from Coach.

It’s important, especially when traveling, to have a bag in which you can secure your essentials, and hold securely, without fuss. So, if you’re traveling, look for a bag that crosses your body and sits comfortably at your side waist. Also be sure you find a bag that has a zip closure, or foldover flap to securely stow your things.

Your crossbody bag doesn’t have to be totally utilitarian; it can be chic and still do its job with aplomb! On a trip to Paris back in 2018, I bought along a classic tweed Chanel-esque bag with a chain strap from Talbots. It added the perfect amount of Parisian chic to my travel outfits.

Kelly has a favorite crossbody bag: the Large Transport Camera Crossbody Bag from Madewell. Madewell has a great selection of well-made, last-forever crossbody bags in a variety of sizes and styles that won’t break the bank.

I travel quite a bit and I like a cross body bag that is secure, light weight (in case I have to carry it all day), and large enough to hold both my reading glasses and sunglasses along with wallet and the other usual items. Lo & Sons makes an excellent leather bag called The Pearl that comes in lots of colors. I also like my small MV Wallace bag because the bag itself weighs nothing and it is good organizationally.
Thanks for sharing!
I really like the ‘Ab’Solution Modern Ankle Skinny Jeans
Wit & Wisdom. I the style and the color and the fact they are high rise. The price is reasonable
Wit & Wisdom is a great denim brand with an even greater price point!
I purchased the fair isle sweater from Talbots you featured a few days ago. I love it! Very high quality and fits beautifully!
Isn’t that the cutest sweater?! So glad to hear you love it!
