Top Designer Crossbody Bags to Shop Now

Stylish crossbody bags are the ultimate hands-free accessory, allowing you to carry your daytime essentials (such as your designer wallet, keys and cell phone) and a lipstick and compact with ease. For those who want to add a little extra oomph to their outfits, a crossbody bag can also serve as the perfect complement to your eveningwear. A luxe leather crossbody is a chic addition to any LBD or black tie ensemble, while a sparkly sequin design will look perfectly on point with a shimmery sequin midi dress or jumpsuit.
