Confession time: Crossbody cell phone purses used to be one of those bag styles I could not stand. (Sorry, don't hate me.) While, logically, I know that there's no reason to have beef with a bag, it took me years to come around. Part of my change of heart came from realizing just how practical this accessory can be, as it allows you to be hands-free when you're running errands, you're traveling through the airport, or you just can't be bothered to carry a big bag.
The other thing that contributed to my change of heart was the wave of mini bags that trended a few seasons back. These were basically glorified phone cases with maybe a little extra space for lipgloss. Designers made this formerly "dorky" bag way more dapper, thereby allowing picky bag people like me the opportunity to tap into the trend on our terms. No longer is this accessory solely about functionality, but it's about fashion, too. However, if you still believe that these bags can't possibly be chic, be prepared to change your mind.
Ahead, I've rounded up the 24 best crossbody cell phone purses at every price point based on quality, functionality, trends, and brand recognition. Whether you're looking for a designer option that will allow you to show off your personal style or a casual option to carry at an upcoming concert, I've got you covered.
