I am a huge fan of crossbody bags. I have several, and I use them while traveling and on every-day basis. To help you find a crossbody bag for yourself I created this guide to the best crossbody bags. It’s a long list of crossbody bags you’ll find in this article, but that’s because there are different styles. There are crossbody bags for day to day use.

And then there are special anti-theft crossbody bags for travel, crossbody bags for women, crossbody bags for men, unisex crossbody bags and fashion crossbody bags.

If tote bags are great for traveling because of their roominess, then crossbody bags are more comfortable for carrying around. In particular, if you are traveling with a backpack not a suitcase. Because they usually are smaller. And thus you can easily carry it with backpack as well.

Now let’s look at the list of the best crossbody bags!

To read more about every one of them scroll down! Most of these crossbody bags are available in different colors. For more photos, latest price and user reviews check them out on Amazon – just click on the name or image of the bag! I have also included a link to Amazon under every review.

Types of Crossbody Bags & Why to Use a Crossbody Bag?

A crossbody bag is a versatile functional bag that can be used anywhere. You can carry it to work, around the city or take on a trip abroad. If it’s a cute little fashion crossbody bag, you can wear it to a party, as well as to work. Just choose the right style and size to fit your needs!

While looking for a new crossbody bag you’ll see that there are several types of crossbody bags:

1. Travel Crossbody Bags

Sturdy small and medium-sized bags for travel. These bags are convenient and functional. Most travel crossbody bags feature several compartments and easy access pockets. The Briggs & Riley Verb Link crossbody bag is a good example.

2. Anti-Theft Travel Crossbody Bags

Travel crossbody bags with anti-theft and security features, such as, slash-resistant body, slash resistant and lockable shoulder strap, lockable zippers and RFID blocking card and passport sleeves, or RFID blocking pocket. I have reviewed seven of the best crossbody bags for women and men. Check them out!

3. Casual Leather Crossbody Bags

Durable small and medium-sized crossbody bags for every-day use. Some of them don’t have a zipper closure, only a flap that covers main compartment and other pockets.

Example – LEABAGS London leather crossbody bag and Fossil Emma crossbody bag.

4. Casual Nylon / Canvas Crossbody Bags

Durable small and medium-sized crossbody bags for every-day use, such as Kipling Alvar crossbody bag.

5. Fashion Crossbody Bags

Small and medium-sized stylish crossbody bags that are perfect for a night out or work.

Example – S-ZONE Tassel crossbody bag.

6. Designer Crossbody Bags

Premium crossbody bags. Superior quality and therefore – a higher price.

Example – Kate Spade New York Cobble Hill Ellen crossbody purse.

There is a wide variety of brands as well – cheap, mid-range and expensive. Just choose the bag that fits your needs the best!

Be it a special anti-theft crossbody bag or just a simple canvas crossbody bag, it’s still safer than, say, a regular tote bag. Simply because the crossbody bag stays close to your body all the time and it’s easy to keep an eye on it also in crowds. In public places I usually wear it in front of me, to protect myself from pickpockets.

How to Find the Best Crossbody Bag for Yourself?

Are you looking for the best travel purse? The best travel purse for Europe trip? Before buying a crossbody bag, consider these things:

1. Why Do You Need a Crossbody Bag?

First of all, choose the right type!

If you are traveling a lot and walking through certain areas that are known for pickpockets, take a look at anti-theft bags! I have already mentioned that these bags are designed to keep thieves and pickpockets away from your belongings. That kind of bags features slash-resistant body and shoulder straps, lockable zippers and RFID blocking pocket / card and passport slots. Anti-theft bags’ shoulder straps have locking carabiners, so that you can attach the bag to a post or a chair. For instance, while eating in a restaurant.

Leather crossbody bags will be perfect for every-day use and commute. They are casual yet smart looking. Colorful canvas crossbody bags are perfect for a day-off, beach, a day sightseeing trip or other casual events and meetings.

2. Size Matters!

I prefer small-sized crossbody bags since often I carry only the bare minimum – a phone, wallet, collapsible brush, lip balm and lipstick, compact mirror, hair pins and hair ties, Kleenex, a pen and a tiny notebook. I am carrying this little even when I am traveling. The rest usually is sitting in a hotel room.

If I need to carry more then I take a daypack with me. I don’t like large crossbody bags – they don’t look good on my small frame and I don’t feel too comfortable carrying them. The Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Mini crossbody purse or Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC are among my favorite bags because they are small but still can hold all my necessities.

What about you? Do you carry the bare minimum only or do you like to carry your tablet or camera with you as well? If the latter is true then you will need to look for something bigger, like, Pacsafe Citysafe CS100. It’s bigger, and has a built-in tablet sleeve.

Vera Bradley Hipster crossbody bag is a nice option if you want a casual colorful bag big enough to hold an iPad Mini or even a standard sized iPad! The Vera Bradley bag doesn’t have a special padded sleeve for an iPad, though.

3. Pockets and Compartments

I always choose a small crossbody bag with one main compartment and several internal and extrernal pockets. I like to keep my stuff organized.

When looking for a new crossbody bag, you’ll see that there are bags with:

A couple of large compartments and a couple of pockets (e.g. Travelon Anti-Theft Signature 3 compartment bag);
Only one zippered compartment and a few open pockets in it (e.g. Michael Kors Women’s Jet Set crossbody);
One main compartment and several big and small pockets in and out (e.g. Scarleton Accent crossbody);
A built-in tablet sleeve (e.g. Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Tour Bag);
A built-in tablet sleeve and organizational panel (e.g. Briggs & Riley Verb Link crossbody);
Several large compartments, several pockets, and even an organizational panel / card slots (e.g. Ibagbar crossbody bag).

Once again, think what will suit your needs the best!

A useful feature to look for is an RFID-blocking card and passport slots. They will protect your cards and passport from unauthorised scanning and identity theft. Because, yes, nowadays it’s possible to scan your bank card from a distance as well. Only from a short distance, though.

The Briggs & Riley Verb Link crossbody bag is made of high quality nylon twill fabric, that is moisture, wear, dirt and abrasion resistant. The bag features durable self-repairing zippers.

The crossbody bag fits more than you would expect. The largest padded compartment will hold most tablets and even some small laptops. It can hold an 11” MacBook Air, but it’s a tight fit. There’s a u-zip, gusseted organizer section with an interior zippered pocket, ID-sleeve, RFID blocking business card and passport slots, and CordControl elastic loops that will securely hold a range of small items.

There’s a lockable zippered compartment for electronics. Inside there’s a padded section for a tablet or a small laptop computer and 2 open stretch pockets on the opposite wall.

L-zippered easy access front pocket that is lined with soft fleece will hold a smartphone or an Amazon Kindle. There’s a grab handle and a quick stash pocket at the back, perfect for airline tickets.

There is a drawback, though. There’s no padding on a crossbody strap. If the bag is packed full, it might get heavy, and that’s when the padding on a strap comes in handy.
