20 Crossbody Bags for Effortless On-the-Go Style
And hands-free bliss
While we love carrying our spacious totes and chic clutches around town, sometimes we need to keep our hands free to quickly grab our wallet, keys, or phone while on the go. That’s where the best women’s crossbody bags come into play. Compact and versatile, they can be easily slipped on for any occasion, whether you’re heading out to the office or for dinner with friends.
Our Favorite Crossbody Bags of 2025
With many crossbody bags featuring an adjustable strap that is often detachable for greater wearability, the best are designed for no-fuss styling. “When I reach for a crossbody, it’s because I want something light and compact that will carry me through my day with ease,” says Karla Gallardo, cofounder and chief executive officer of Cuyana. You don’t have to worry about misplacing your bag at the restaurant or keeping a hawk-eye focus on your valuables when commuting. You can just carry on with your day.
Finding the right bag ultimately comes down to preference. “If your style skews a bit more minimal or neutral, crossbody bags are the ultimate accessory to add a bit of playfulness to your wardrobe,” says Gallardo. Luckily, there is no shortage of options available. From everyday styles crafted from buttery soft leather and suede in evergreen neutrals to statement bags fitted in playful patterns and trendy colors, there’s a bag for every taste and budget.

A leather crossbody with gold hardware is a style that’s elegant enough to carry to work and easy enough for weekend errands. Clare V.’s Louis bag has a vintage shape with all the modern necessities—mainly, space for an iPhone 14 and various beauty minis, plus an external pocket. While we’d carry it by the included leather strap, there are also interchangeable options in different textures and colors for a personalized touch.

Loewe + Paula’s Ibiza Leather-Trimmed Raffia Bag

Dimensions: 4.7 x 7.5 x 6.3 in.

Dimensions: 7.1 x 9.4 in.
Materials: silver chain mail
Saint Laurent Le 37 Leather Bucket Bag
This sleek Saint Laurent bucket bag includes a small zipped purse for staying extra organized. We have a feeling this will reach It-bag status like the Icare tote bag before it, plus Blackpink’s Rosé has already been spotted carrying the style out and about.
Dimensions: 9.5 x 10 x 4.4 in.
Materials: leather
Mansur Gavriel Mini Cloud Clutch
A little soft, a little structured, Mansur’s best-selling cloud clutch can be worn as either a crossbody or a belt bag. Mini is in the name, but the brand says it can stow a phone, sunglasses, headphones, card holder, and on-the-go beauty products. Right now, it comes in nine long-lasting leathers, ranging from green to pink to caramel brown, but hurry— it’s known to sell out.
Dimensions: 9.5 x 5 x 2.75 in.
Material: leather
Shopper review: “Love, love this cute little bag. Super functional while being whimsical.”
We haven’t been able to get this Polene bag out of our head since it first dropped on the site. (Other fans of the French handbag label are on the same wavelength, because several colors have already sold out.) It has that neutral, wear-with-anything leather, but the asymmetric curved shape and hardware feel especially unique.
Dimensions: 17 x 24 x 7 cm
Materials: leather, suede
This mini bag has the same curved shape and gold hardware as Gucci’s original and widely beloved Jackie silhouette. The only differences are the scaled-down size—with space to fit your true essentials—and a removable crossbody strap for hands-free carrying.

Materials: beige/ebony GG Supreme canvas, with brown leather trim
We’re picking up the slightest Daisy Jones vibes from this ’70s-inspired Chloé crossbody. The horseshoe-like detailing on the front flap and camel shade help play into the boho trend we’ve been seeing as of late.
Dimensions: 7.1 x 6.7 x 3.9 in.
Materials: leather
Savette is a brand Bazaar editors can’t stop talking about. Nearly every style from this new label is meant for a crossbody carry. Designer Amy Zurek gives it a modern minimalist touch with sculptural hardware that will go just as well with a T-shirt and jeans as it will an LBD.
Material: leather
Dimensions: 2.4 x 5.3 x 7.5 in.
