Crossbody bags & shoulder bags are popular types of handbags designed for carrying essentials while keeping your hands free. Both are versatile, stylish, and practical, but they have different features and ways of being worn.
Crossbody Bags
These bags have long adjustable straps that are meant to be worn diagonally across the body. The strap typically rests on one shoulder, while the bag sits comfortably on the opposite hip. The crossbody style allows you to keep the bag close to your body, making it difficult for someone to snatch. The weight is also distributed across your body which is more comfortable for extended wear.
We offer a variety of crossbody bags in different sizes and styles, from small and compact for quick errands to larger, multi-pocket versions for day trips or travel. They're ideal for when you need to keep your hands free, like when shopping, exploring, or commuting.
Shoulder Bags
These have shorter straps that are designed to be worn over one shoulder, with the bag resting under the arm or along the side of the body. The strap length is usually not adjustable, although some designs might have buckles for slight adjustments. Because shoulder bags are worn closer to the body, they offer easy access to your belongings, making them perfect for quickly grabbing your wallet, phone, or keys. They’re often larger than crossbody bags and can carry more items.
Our shoulder bags are available in a wide range of sizes, from small and chic to large and functional. They are popular as everyday bags and work well for office settings, casual outings, or even formal occasions when paired with the right outfit. They can come in structured or tote styles, with options ranging from minimalist and sleek designs to embellished or textured versions.
What Are Sling Bags
Sling and crossbody bags are quite similar in that they have long straps and are designed to be worn across the body, but they differ in style, size, and purpose. typically, a single, adjustable strap is worn diagonally across the chest or back. The strap is usually wider for comfort, as these bags are often designed for more active or casual use. Sling bags are usually smaller and more compact compared to traditional crossbody bags. They’re often designed to fit essentials like a wallet, phone, keys, and small items.
While crossbody bags are generally worn on the front or side of the body, sling bags are often worn on the back or chest. This makes them more suitable for activities like biking, hiking, or exploring the city, where you want to keep your hands free and your bag secure.
