The right crossbody bag for women depends on what you carry, how you like to wear it and the look you want. A small or mini bag holds your phone, cards and keys for errands and nights out. A medium bag fits a little more for everyday use, and a large canvas bag works for work, travel and weekends. A wide strap is comfortable for long days, a chain strap looks dressier, and vegan leather is the easiest to keep clean. Below is how to choose, plus eight crossbody bags from our crossbody bags.
How to choose a crossbody bag
Size
Each product page lists the bag's size, from mini to large, and most give the length in inches. Before you buy, measure your phone and wallet and compare them with the bag's length, so you know your essentials will fit.
Strap
- Wide strap: spreads the weight and is comfortable for long days.
- Chain strap: a dressier look for dinners and evenings out.
- Adjustable strap: lets you wear the bag across your body or on one shoulder.
Material
- Vegan leather: a smooth, polished look. Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth.
- Nylon and canvas: light and casual, good for travel.
- Corduroy: a soft texture that suits fall and winter.

- Evenings out: the chain strap bag or the woven flap bag, which look dressier with a dress or a blazer.

How to wear a crossbody bag
- Across the body: hands-free for shopping, travel and busy days.
- On one shoulder: shorten the strap for a neater look with a coat or blazer.
- Over a coat: in winter, lengthen the strap so the bag sits comfortably over thick layers.

Caring for your bag
None of these bags should go in the washing machine, according to their care instructions. Wipe vegan leather with a soft, damp cloth, and spot clean nylon, canvas and corduroy with mild soap and cold water. Store your bag away from direct sunlight.
A crossbody bag as a gift
A crossbody bag is an easy gift because it does not need a size. Pick a color she already wears, or a classic like black or brown.
