I've Searched Everywhere—These Are the Most Expensive-Looking Crossbody Bags
Don't you hate it when your handbag strap keeps slipping off your shoulder? Call me dramatic, but with the busy lives we're all living, such annoyances can really steal our peace.
That's where cross-body bags come in. Functional and compact, this modern staple holds the power to totally transform your day. Going hands-free means you don't have to worry about the awkward forearm impressions left by grab-handle designs, or constantly having to transfer your shoulder bag from one side to the other to avoid achy joints.
There are so many chic cross-body options in the designer sphere, but if you're on a budget, you might struggle to find ones free from cheap hardware and shiny faux leather. Luckily, we've scoured the internet and whittled down the best, most expensive-looking cross-body bags out there. From COS' bestselling crescent-shaped style to & Other Stories' trend-led creations, scroll to see the ones worthy of your on-the-go essentials.
SHOP EXPENSIVE-LOOKING CROSS-BODY BAGS:
We can't stop singing the praises of this sell-out COS bag.
Micro cross body bags are great for evenings out when all you need is a lipstick, your phone and a card.
It also comes in real leather with gunmetal hardware.
Yes, we're still obsessed with this designer-looking handbag.
Matt & Nat's vegan leather pieces are just as sturdy as the real thing.
Wouldn't this make the perfect accompaniment to a camel coat?
When you buy this bag, 100% of the purchase price goes towards various charities worldwide. Pretty cool, Matt & Nat.
Make this statement-strap bag the talking point of your look.
I can't own bags this big, because I'll immediately start weighing it down with stuff—if you're more restrained than me, this is a great everyday option.
It might not be super affordable, but because it's Ganni you know it's top-notch quality.
