  • Why Trust T+L

Travel + Leisure / Lydia Price

In the realm of handbags, none match the convenience of a crossbody. This hands-free silhouette is an ideal travel companion, keeping you unencumbered to snap endless photos or sort through flea market finds. However, not all are equal when it comes to style and function. Fortunately, we’ve done the groundwork by testing our favorites around the globe, squishing them into suitcases and under airplane seats along the way to ensure they’re the very best.

Ahead, we share our top picks based on durability, capacity, and looks. While the Away Featherlight Crossbody takes the top spot for its all-around versatility, you can rest easy knowing each has been personally vetted during hikes, pool days, and even a trip to Japan .

Best Overall

Away featherlight crossbody bag.

It’s the right combo of roomy yet compact, plus it has thoughtful details like a pocket for a passport and a hidden spot in the strap for an AirPods case.

There’s enough room for a water bottle, but no dedicated pocket, so make sure the lid is on tight.

Of all the crossbody bags put to the test, Away’s Featherlight Crossbody earned our top spot for its thoughtful details designed with travelers in mind. The lightweight material is easy to pack and doesn’t feel bulky on the shoulder, yet there’s plenty of room and organization built in. What really makes this bag a standout is that it has a dedicated pocket for your passport and a hidden zip compartment in the strap to hold things like earbuds , lip gloss, or a credit card. 

Along with being water-resistant, the bag can be wiped clean, so it’s a great choice for any day trips that might encounter some dirt. Senior editor Jasmine Grant chose the salt-white color that appears closer to beige in person, but she likes that it comes in a few non-neutral shades, too. Grant brought the bag on a trip to Croatia and is already planning to pack the crossbody for her next trip.

The Details: 11 x 11 x 3.9 inches | Water-resistant polyester

Hammitt Tony Small Clear

The clear design is a must-have for concerts and sports venues, but it’s so cute and functional that we bring it to the beach, too.

We’d love a nylon strap option, instead of just leather for added durability.

With so many venues switching to clear handbags only, this crossbody is an excellent option to have at the ready for your next concert or sports outing. However, T+L associate director Morgan Ashley Parker found the splash-proof material so functional that it’s become a regular for our beach trips and pool days, too. Despite the compact appearance, she squeezed in her phone, earbuds, lip gloss, and even a Kindle. Another great feature of this crossbody is the many colorful trim options that make it more visually interesting than your run-of-the-mill clear handbag.

The Details: 8 x 7.5 x 2 inches | Plastic, leather

Best Leather

Quince italian leather quilted crossbody bag.

The small body is way more spacious than it looks and the leather still looks new after multiple trips around the world.

Our editor (who is short in height) found the strap slightly long, even when adjusted to the shortest length.

With Italian leather and quilted stitching, this Quince crossbody looks nice enough to carry around daily, but we’ve also found it to be an ideal travel companion. It survived senior editor Lydia Price's trips to India and Japan, still looking polished and unworn despite some rough handling along the way. Another bonus is that the square body holds way more than you’d expect — Price managed to fit multiple pairs of glasses, a mini umbrella , a small tripod, a large wallet, and a collection of lip products all at the same time.

The Details: 8.5 x 6 x 3 inches | Leather

  • PHOTO: Travel + Leisure / Lydia Price

Best Anti-Theft

Arden cove crissy mini crossbody.

Slash–resistant with a simple, polished exterior makes this a crossbody with plenty of style and function.

The super compact size is ideal for traveling light, but it just barely fits our editor’s iPhone 15 Pro Max.

When it comes to travel safety, this crossbody has thought of it all. Arden Cove’s Crissy bag is made with slash-resistant lining, RFID-blocking credit card slots, water-resistant nylon, and zippers, and it even has a cut-proof steel cable shoulder strap. Price loves how sturdy it is while still looking polished and sophisticated. With just enough room for a smartphone and a few small items, it’s best saved for the days when you want to stick to the bare essentials. 

The Details: 6.5 x 4.5 x 2.3 inches | Nylon, faux leather

Travel + Leisure / Lydia Price

Lecxci Sling Bag

A padded strap and water bottle holder make this bag perfect for hikes and day trips, plus it comes in several bright color options.

It’s supposed to be waterproof, but we think water-resistant is more accurate.

If your travel plans include hikes or outdoor activities, associate editor Amelia McBride shares that this crossbody is worth bringing along. The sling bag won’t get lost among the trees with its several bright color options, and the padded shoulder strap keeps hands free. The lightweight material stretches to fit tons of stuff, but her favorite feature is the outside water bottle pocket that doesn’t take up valuable space inside — it can also be used to hold an umbrella. McBride is also a big fan of the built-in zip pocket where we store our keys and other necessities.

The Details: 14.5 x 7.7 x 4 inches | Nylon

Travel + Leisure / Amelia McBride

Best Belt Bag

Lululemon everywhere belt bag.

There’s enough room to store sunglasses and a Kindle, yet it doesn’t feel cumbersome and the design keeps your hands free.

The belt loop that secures the end of the strap comes loose sometimes, so the strap can flap around until it’s secured again.

In editor Sophie Mendel's experience, the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag truly lives up to its name. The medium size is perfect for taking just about anywhere and has held her phone, wallet, sunglasses, and Kindle without feeling too cumbersome. This popular belt bag can also be worn across the body and comes in more than a dozen colors and patterns, ranging from sunny yellow to classic black. With so much versatility, this is a crossbody you’ll be happy to have whether you’re traveling abroad or just going for a quick jog near home.

The Details: 7.5 x 5 x 2 inches | Nylon

Best Designer

Proenza schouler ps1 leather bag.

We’ve filled this bag’s many pockets and compartments to the brim with travel essentials and it still doesn’t look bulky or stuffed.

The iconic style comes in lots of iterations, but a neutral shade that goes with more outfits may help justify the investment.

For a designer crossbody that can keep up when traveling around the globe, we turn to the PS1 bag from Proenza Schouler. Though certainly an investment, the iconic bag won’t soon go out of style and is easy to transition from day to night — a big plus when packing space is limited. Editor Susmita Baral calls this her “Mary Poppins crossbody” for how much she can stash inside, yet it somehow never loses its shape. The many pockets are perfect for storing a passport and any knickknacks picked up along the way.

The Details: 10.2 x 6.7 x 3.1 inches | Leather

Best Budget

Uto 3-in-1 crossbody bag.

This scratch- and water-resistant crossbody has great storage space and can be worn as a clutch or a shoulder bag.

The zipper on the coin purse doesn’t glide very smoothly.

Writer Asia London Palomba discovered this crossbody that won’t break the bank and pulls triple duty with its three-in-one design. Multiple compartments and removable straps let this crossbody be converted into a clutch or a shoulder bag at a moment’s notice. It’s also deceptively spacious. She packed it with a portable charger, phone cable, multiple passports, phone, wallet, hand sanitizer, and camera batteries within the many pockets and still had room to spare. As if that weren’t enough features, the material is scratch-resistant and water-resistant, making it ideal for both travel and daily use.

The Details: 9.5 x 7.2 x 2.9 inches | Faux leather

Travel + Leisure / Asia Palomba

Most Versatile

Kaai mini bowler bag.

This sleek leather crossbody has a magnetic pocket on the outer back that keeps your phone or plane tickets hidden but within reach.

A micro-suede lining makes stains such as a lip gloss spill hard to clean.

Don’t be fooled by the mini size of this crossbody bag. The compact body stashes away essentials with ease, and there’s even a hidden pocket on the outside where you can slip in your phone. Associate editor Anna Popp has fit everything from lip balm to sunglasses within the sleek Italian leather exterior that also happens to be scratch-proof, waterproof, and even UV-resistant. Another fun feature is an adjustable shoulder strap that lets you carry the Mini Bowler as a shoulder bag. On the inside, a micro-suede lining adds a luxe touch, but you’ll want to be mindful of any products that could cause a sticky spill.

The Details: 9.8 x 6.3 x 3.1 inches | Leather

  • PHOTO: Travel + Leisure / Anna Popp

Most Stylish

Cuyana mini paloma bag.

This bag’s soft leather looks and feels luxe, doesn’t dig into the skin, and the crossbody strap is adjustable so you can carry it by hand or shoulder.

The strap can be worn shorter, but we found it awkward to wear it that way.

If style is high up on your must-have list, Popp also recommends this crossbody bag from Cuyana. The Mini Paloma pairs an elevated design with buttery soft leather that doesn’t dig into your hip, and the wide belted strap can be adjusted for a completely different look. We also appreciate the zip top for added security, and how the minimalist silhouette can be worn in both daytime and evening. You can tell from both the look and feel of this bag that it doesn’t skimp on quality. It also comes with a handy dust bag to store the purse in your suitcase or closet without risking potential damage.

The Details: 11 x 7.1 x 5.1 inches | Leather

Best Organization

Wandrd tech bag.

Although made for tech accessories, we love this as a travel bag thanks to its weather-resistant material and compact size.

If you want a true crossbody bag, there’s an option to add a shoulder strap for an extra $20.

The Wandrd Tech Bag is specifically designed to keep tech gear organized, but that hasn’t stopped T+L writer Anne Taylor from carrying her lip balm, wallet, and hand sanitizer, too. The weather-resistant material and lined zippers give Taylor peace of mind in the event of rain, and it can be worn as both a sling bag and a belt bag. Even though the bag looks quite small, the interior is lined with mesh pockets and pen loops so that everything has a place. A unique perk of this crossbody is that it comes with a lifetime guarantee, and it’s also designed to be clipped onto Wandrd backpacks.

The Details: 7.75 x 4.5 x 2 inches | Tarpaulin

Travel + Leisure / Anne Taylor

Madewell The Transport Bucket Bag

Along with its stunning leather and two-handle design, this deep bucket bag is spacious enough to hold a sweater.

A magnet closure instead of a zipper top makes this bag easy to navigate but less secure.

If the opposite of compact is what you’re after, Madewell’s bucket bag offers plenty of space — so much so that senior writer Merrell Readman keeps a spare sweater inside when traveling. What we also love about this bag is how nice the leather exterior looks, even when we’re hauling around a bunch of stuff. A second shoulder strap lets you switch if the crossbody starts feeling too heavy, and the timeless style is one you can expect to use for years. Our only improvement would be a zip closure, but an open top does make it easier to dig around for a phone or keys. 

The Details: 12 x 8 x 4 inches | Leather

  • PHOTO: Travel + Leisure / Merrell Readman

Best Color Options

Free people idle hands sling bag.

This crossbody is spacious and stylish, and it comes in tons of color choices.

The zipper closure could be smoother and is prone to snagging.

Free People’s sling bag has something for everyone with its 12 color choices that range from vibrant pink and green to espresso brown. Both Readman and Popp own this bag and they swear by it because of how soft and comfortable it is to wear, and how the stylish design is much more spacious than its slim U-shape looks. She even managed to fit a water bottle and an umbrella inside. When you want to keep your hands free, but you also want a pop of color to punch up your outfit, this bag is a great choice for both travel and everyday wear.

The Details: 15.7 x 2.2 inches | Leather

  • PHOTO: Travel + Leisure / Merrel Readman

Best Camera Bag

Chico’s neutral color block camera bag.

Two zip compartments keep things extra organized, and there’s enough room for a paperback book.

There may not be as roomy as a bag with just one main compartment.

This crossbody won over T+L editor Taylor Fox with its durability and two main compartments that offer easy access to necessities. And while perfectly travel-sized, this bag doesn’t lack space. We’ve filled it with a pair of sunglasses, a wallet, a phone, lip balm, and even a paperback book inside. With its neutral color scheme, you can spend less time coordinating with outfits in your suitcase and more time planning new adventures. Plus, an extra zip pocket on the outside takes the organization to another level.

The Details: 5.8 x 8.3 inches | Polyester, leather

To find the best crossbody bags, our team of writers and editors tested out options across continents to find the best ones for every travel need. We stuffed them into suitcases, carried them to sports games and beach trips, and squeezed in as many items as we possibly could. We also considered qualities such as durability, organization, style, function, and weight.

Tips For Buying a Crossbody Bag

Adjustable straps are key.

A key feature to look for in a crossbody bag is an adjustable strap. This will ensure you get the right fit for your height and body, which can make all the difference when it comes to all-day comfort. Consider also looking for straps with padding or extrasoft material for added comfort. 

Make sure it fits your essentials

While some of our crossbody picks have enough room for an extra pair of clothes, others barely have room for an iPhone. Be sure to check the measurements to get a bag that fits all your must-haves, whether that’s a few small essentials or bigger items like a book.

Consider the material

A leather bag that looks great during city trips may not hold up as well during hikes. For destinations such as the beach or mountains, consider weather-resistant and splash-proof materials such as plastic, polyester, and nylon. Soft fabric bags may also pack down easier than structured bags when suitcase space is limited.

Crossbody bags hang diagonally across one shoulder so that both of your hands stay free. While convenient for daily life, these bags are especially useful while traveling when you need to carry shopping bags or luggage. Many crossbody bags are designed to be worn as shoulder bags or belt bags, too.

Just like any other handbag, a crossbody bag counts as a personal item and must be able to fit under the seat in front of you. We always suggest checking the airline’s website for specific guidelines.

Running Belt

For those who only carry the bare basics

Spibelt running belt.

High Coast Crossbody

For the outdoor adventurer

Fjällräven high coast crossbody.

Sometimes, a tiny, athletic crossbody bag just doesn't cut it. Enter: this full-grain leather beauty, which merges practicality and chicness. Thanks to its multiple interior and exterior zip compartments, slip pockets, and adjustable straps, the bag is willing and able to haul all of your belongings—oversized tablet and notebook (for logging all your travel escapades, of course!) included. Not a fan of the pictured Tan Wash colorway? There are seven more where that came from.

Technically, this product is made for runners, as it's the ideal way to store your bare basics (card, cash, ID, phone, etc.) and not much more. However, if those items are the only ones you take on your daily adventures in foreign cities anyways, this running belt is calling your name! It has an expandable, no-bounce pocket and can easily be worn around your waist or in crossbody fashion. Who knows, maybe it will inspire you to break into a run on the Champs-Élysées.

This bag is just as perfect for multi-hour treks through mountains as it is for leisurely strolls down city streets. It's made from recycled materials, can be detached from its padded strap to serve as a lil' pouch, has an interior key hook and mesh sleeves, and is water-resistant. At only 0.7 pounds, you just might forget this bag is even on you.

Madewell The Essential Sling Crossbody Bag

The Essential Sling Crossbody Bag

Perhaps you're privy to the Baggu Crescent Bag TikTok obsession . For something a bit more elevated (reflected in a higher price tag, to be sure), go with this travel-friendly crossbody from Madewell. It's 100-percent leather and can even be paired with the brand's The Essential Zip Wallet . We love a color-coordinated moment!

Athleta All About Crossbody Belt Bag

All About Crossbody Belt Bag

This bag from Athleta has a streamlined design and is quite affordable—meaning you can spend more on gelato and fried seafood in paper cones (if you happen to find yourself in Southern Italy, that is). It's crafted out of soft-to-the-touch recycled polyester, is water-repellent, and, in its clear colorway, complies with most stadium-slash-festival bag policies. In other words, it's ideal for travel, yes, but also for life in general.

Sol and Selene Neoprene Sling Bag

Neoprene Sling Bag

This travel bag is on the bigger side, making it perfect for people who treat stepping outside as a full-scale production. It's got no shortage of zippered pockets, a nylon lining, and a weaved neoprene exterior that is bound to score you many a compliment from passersby. If you think that tan hue is too basic, consider getting the bag in a bright turquoise or electric pink. Being too bold, after all, is not a thing.

Lululemon Everywhere Convertible Crossbody Bag

We know, we know: Lululemon is so commonplace now that it feels a bit tacky to even be mentioning it. Yet, the cult-favorite company couldn't have gained such traction without having true cred. This particular bestseller has four connection points that allow you to wear and style it on your own terms; two timeless color choices; and multiple pockets for all your goodies. Word of caution, though—once you buy one item from the brand, you'll quickly be tempted to buy 'em all.

Ralph Lauren Polo ID Calfskin Mini Saddle Bag

Polo ID Calfskin Mini Saddle Bag

Ralph Lauren's products don't miss, and this classic saddle bag is no exception. Sure, it's not chock-full of pockets and zippers and incognito compartments, but who can say no to all that sophistication? The cherry on top, if you ask us, is surely its gold-tone brass hardware.

Nomatic Navigator Sling 6L

Navigator Sling 6L

This bag does not mess around, and, if you're a tech whiz, you should click "add to cart" on it right now. With a dedicated tablet-slash-gaming pocket, RFID-safe compartment for credit cards, bottle holder, and card pocket right on the shoulder strap, we're tempted to ask, What doesn't it have ? If you plan on long commutes during your getaway, that's one more reason to cop this multifunctional marvel.

Travelon Anti-Theft Heritage Crossbody

Anti-Theft Heritage Crossbody

"Tourist robbed of all belongings, passport included, on busy street corner" is a headline you do not want to read about yourself. With this crossbody bag, you'll never have to. It's equipped with a five-point anti-theft security system that features slash-resistant mesh barriers, locking compartments, and a lock-down strap. As Dwight from The Office once said, "Identity theft is not a joke." On that note, this bag has an RFID-blocking card pocket, which makes RFID-enabled devices resistant to unauthorized access. You'll be sleeping like a baby with this purchase.

Loewe Men's Anton Leather Sling Bag

Men's Anton Leather Sling Bag

If you're in your splurging era, look no further than this impossibly luxe sling bag from Loewe. You'll get all the subtle brand touches with the item, including an embossed logo on its body and an adjustable jacquard logo shoulder strap. It's not replete with pockets and obviously doesn't have an anti-theft security system like the aforementioned Travelon bag, but, let us tell you, this leather gem is a steal in and of itself.

The 15 Best Crossbody Bags to Travel With This Summer

Spacious styles that can go from airport to museum to dinner with ease.

crossbody bags to travel

Every item on this page was chosen by a Town & Country editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy.

As the summer travel season kicks off, you're going to need a good bag to have in tow. And while, sure, a tote or carry-on backpack make great jet-setting accessories because they can hold a great deal while you're on the move, don't underestimate the power of the humble crossbody bag . The hands-free carrier works just as hard as bigger bags, just only at a compact size.

The best crossbody bags for travel should be lightweight, since you're likely going to be on your feet all day sightseeing, and durable (you know, in case of the occasional thunderstorm), but they also should be big enough to store your most important valuables (think: your passport , wallet, camera, sunglasses) along with a few extras. Not to mention, many of today's iterations are convertible, versatile, and can seamlessly transition from airport to museum to dinner reservation without a second thought.

To help make your upcoming travels a breeze, team T&C got together to curate a list of the most reliable crossbody bags around. Top contenders include Gucci's Horsebit shoulder bag , Prada's Re-Nylon bag , Tumi's slim sling , and Leatherology's camera bag , but ahead, you'll find more tried and true picks for every kind of traveler.

PRADA Re-Nylon Shoulder Bag

Persia Crossbody Bag

Tumi Persia Crossbody Bag

Gucci's iconic Horsebit Bag is certainly a splurge, but a classic you'll get use of for years to come. It has a structured silhouette that never loses its a shape, a secure frontal flap that allows you to easily access your belongings, and perhaps most importantly, an adjustable strap that can turn the crossbody into a shoulder bag or vice versa. Oh, and how about that discreet gold horsebit hardware? Sleek as they came.

As T&C' s Deputy Digital Lifestyle Director Roxanne Adamiyatt puts it, "it's a wear-to-anything-and-everywhere-piece that manages to still feel special every time I put it over my shoulder."

Material: Leather

Dimensions: 9.8"W x 7"H x 3.1"D

Weight: 1.8 lbs

When we think nylon bags, we think Prada. The label's legendary Re-Nylon crossbody bag is compact yet functional and features an adjustable strap, pockets and zipped compartments galore, and a detachable mini pouch for storing your smaller knick knacks. It's also ridiculously lightweight—no matter how much you cram inside, it'll sit easy on your shoulders all day.

Material: Nylon

Dimensions: 23cm W x 15cm D x 7cm L

Weight: N/A

If you happen to run into T&C 's Emily Burack abroad, you'll likely find her carrying this Tumi across her body. The small but mighty purse is made from durable nylon and is big enough to hold your phone, passport, cards, boarding pass, and more.

One shopper says: "My go to bag. I use this everyday. It’s absolutely the perfect size and holds a lot more than you might think. Love the other back pocket which provides easy access to your cell. The material is fabulous and easy to clean."

Material: Nylon, leather

Dimensions: 5"W x 7 1/2"H x 1 3/4"D

Weight: .80 lbs

Dagne Dover Micah Water Resistant Crossbody Bag

Micah Water Resistant Crossbody Bag

Dagne Dover makes some of the best duffel bags around (I never fly without the Landon Carryall !), but its crossbody bag is just as impressive. Frequent travelers will love it for its durability, the fact that its water-resistant, and how it conveniently carries your travel necessities over your shoulder. If you ask me, my favorite part is the front zipper pocket and slip back pocket for retrieving my cards and lip balm with ease.

One reviewer writes: "The perfect crossbody for travel or everyday. I bought it for a recent trip and it was exactly what I wanted. The bag was big enough to fit sunglasses, camera, wallet, and the front pocket was perfect for chapstick, keys, and other small travel items. The storm (navy) color is beautiful, also bought the large Landon carryall duffle to match."

Material: REPREVE recycled polyester

Dimensions: 8 1/2"W x 7 1/2"H x 3 1/2"D

Weight: .8 lbs

Leatherology Meadow Large Satchel

Meadow Large Satchel

Here's a crossbody bag that was made for globetrotting. Crafted of buttery soft leather, this Leatherology pick boasts an exceptionally roomy main compartment with interior pockets and an additional exterior pocket for easy access while on the go. I have taken mine with me everywhere because it fits just about everything (wallet, phone, a book—you name it!) and still manages to feel super lightweight.

Bonus: The color variations are pretty amazing—which is a good and bad thing: it's good because you have options; it's bad because you'll struggle deciding on the one to get... which, in the grand scheme of things, isn't so bad after all! On top of that, you can even get your own bag monogrammed or debossed with your initials for a personal touch.

One reviewer writes: "I got this bag for traveling on my honeymoon and I did the trapunto monogram with my new married initials and this bag was worth every penny. It held so much and yet was compact, traveled well. It’s durable yet soft and supple! I love this bag so so much for traveling and just being on the go and I will be back for more!"

Material: Full grain leather

Dimensions: 10.25"W x 4"D x 7.25"H

Cuyana Double Loop Bag

Double Loop Bag

Take a look at any T&C 's editor's bag collection and you'll likely find a bag or two from Cuyana. We're obsessed. For traveling, we love this minimalist crossbody because it's perfectly sized to fit all your daily belongings and it has three small exterior slip pockets for storing your phone, keys, or anything else. Another plus: the flap opening. There's a hidden magnetic closure that keeps all your valuables safe and sound.

One shopper says: "The shape is classy and versatile. I love that the purse is spacious, I purchased the bag as an excuse for an upcoming trip and it has the the features I need. Fits all the necessities and a water bottle for a day packed with sightseeing."

Material: Italian leather

Dimensions: 8"H x 9.5"W x 5.5"D

Weight: 1.5 lbs

MZ Wallace Metro Sling Bag

Metro Sling Bag

MZ Wallace is practically synonymous with travel bags. The brand offers an array of different crossbody styles featuring its signature quilted design (like the fan-favorite Metro Scout ), but we're particularly partial to the hands-free sling bag. It's spacious, stylish, and holds a ton—without weighing a ton! It's really a throw-on-and-go kind-of-bag for whenever you're on the move.

One reviewer raves: "This is the perfect travel bag! It lays so well, lots of storage, and such a beautiful buckle. Worth every penny."

Dimensions: 13 1/2"W x 7 1/2"H x 2 1/2"D

Weight : .5 lbs

Coach Chaise Crossbody

Chaise Crossbody

T&C 's Digital Director Caroline Hallemann has sworn by this leather Coach bag for years, but it also makes for a great everyday option.

One shopper says: "Absolutely adore this bag it is a great size and will be good for traveling on holiday. Plenty of space for all the essentials and the outside pocket is handy... Really beautiful quality."

Longchamp Le Foulonné S Crossbody Bag

Lo & Sons Nouvelle

Nouvelle

For a bag that can go the distance, look no further than Lo & Sons's Nouvelle.

Inside, you'll find pockets on pockets on pockets to help keep your important necessities organized. On top of that, it's lightweight, comfortable, and versatile enough for everyday outings.

One shopper says: "I bought this purse for a trip to Europe. I wanted a bag I could wear across but was also more spacious. I'm so glad I decided to go with this one! Not only is it cute and can look elegant or sporty depending on your outfit, but the materials are really good quality. The strap is super resistant, and the double zip is perfect for safety."

Dimensions: 9" W x 7" H x 3" D

Weight: 11.5 oz

Senreve Aria Belt Bag

Aria Belt Bag

For an option that can go from airport to museum to dinner with a simple change of the strap, Senreve's convertible purses won't disappoint. Beloved by celebrities such as Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Selma Blair, the Aria is a spacious (and lightweight!!!) leather belt bag that can be converted into a crossbody, shoulder bag, sling, and clutch. It comes in various colors and you even have the option to swap in a chain if you want to make it more elegant than it already is. Trust me, it's a one-and-done bag that you'll never think twice about packing with you, because it truly is perfect for everything on your agenda.

One shopper says: "Good size for a small bag. It can fit just the most important things I need. The strap is adjustable and can be tucked in neatly if I need it shorter. It can be use as a belt bag, shoulder bag, and great as a crossbody bag. Looks elegant with the simplicity of the bag and yet the quality and craftsmanship is of excellent standard."

Material: Pebbled leather

Dimensions: 8"W x 5"H x 2"D

Monos Metro Crossbody

Metro Crossbody

An organized-type's dream, the Metro Crossbody is conveniently-sized for storing your wallet, keys, phone, sunscreen, and other travel essentials. Every little detail is thoughtfully considered, from two-way zipper that opens all the way for accessing your belongings easily, to the various interior compartments, to the four card sleeves, to the adjustable shoulder strap.

One shopper writes: "I used my crossbody on my trip to Hawaii. It was a perfect size to hold my wallet, 8oz bottle of water (of course not filled), small cosmetic bag, snacks. I like the idea that the zippers are two way and open all the way down making it easier to access items. Also I like the idea of the 4 different shoulder strap length. It rained one day and I was concerned about the vegan leather, however it held up with no water spots!"

Material: Vegan leather

Dimensions: 9.8" W × 6.6" H × 3.4" D

Weight: 1.97 lbs

Prefer keeping your things to a minimum? A crossbody phone bag is exactly what you need. It's designed to hold just your phone and cards across your body and a no brainer when you don't want to schlep a bunch of things around.

One reviewer writes: "Did some traveling and I wanted to go out and about with not a lot of baggage with me. All I had was my phone and some credit cards with the use of the bandolier. Will purchase more of these in other designs."

Dimensions: 43" - 49” strap

Mansur Gavriel Classic Crossbody

Classic Crossbody

Mansur Gavriel's aptly-named crossbody is the perfect sweet-spot size: not too big, not too small, just right. We also love how easily it can be dressed up or down, and isn't that what we all want in a travel crossbody bag at the end of the day? Oh, and did we mention Taylor Swift carries it, too? All the more reason to get yourself one.

One reviewer writes: "Love this bag! Light weight and hangs beautifully. Fits the essentials: wallet, keys, phone, one pair of glasses. Very well made."

Dimensions : 8.5"W x 7.5"H x 1.9" D

What to look for in a good travel crossbody bag:

crossbody bags for travels faq

  • Durability: Look for a crossbody bag made of nylon or premium leather. Nylon tends to be lightweight and water-resistant, perfect for the rigors of travel, while a good leather is hard-wearing, scratch-resistant, and makes for a more versatile option.
  • Weight: The last thing you're going to want while traveling is something that weighs you down. Look for crossbody bags around the 1 lb mark.
  • Pockets: A spacious main compartment is great and all, but interior and exterior pockets can help keep your belongings organized.
  • Versatility: A good crossbody bag makes a perfect travel accessory, but an even greater one should also be versatile enough to be worn from day-to-night for every event on your itinerary.

The best crossbody bags for travel excel at two things: They look good, and they keep the essentials—phone, ID, chapstick—close at hand when you’re on the go. After navigating a series of Ubers and airport checkpoints, and managing to narrowly avoid missing your connecting flight, being able to send out rapid-fire text updates before quickly locating important paperwork can suddenly feel like the only thing keeping you together.

There’s no shortage of options on the market, but determining the best crossbody bag for travel depends on a few factors, the most important of which is size. “I try to travel light, so the best crossbody is big enough to carry all of my essentials—phone, passport, lip color, hand sanitizer—but small enough to not weigh me down,” says Camiel Irving, general manager of Uber Mobility in the United States and Canada. Once you’ve narrowed down the size that fits your style preference and travel needs, you can start to have some fun. Irving says: “I opt for versatile colors and textures, with a strap that can be worn a few ways, so that the same bag can take me from a client meeting to dinner with friends.”

Below, we’ve rounded up 15 of the best crossbody bags for travel to shop right now. From structured silhouettes that are sleek and compact to roomier picks that feature ample interior compartments to keep clutter at bay, these bags are a jet-setter’s not-so-hidden ace card. Bon voyage!

The A.P.C. Betty is my personal favorite. It holds all my essentials and never feels too heavy, even when I’m walking around a new city for hours on end. I have owned this bag for over six years now, and the stiff leather barely shows any sign of wear or tear. And it’s even compact enough to throw into my personal item on a flight, so I don’t have to worry about extra baggage.

The brand’s leather products are made by hand in Tuscany, Italy, by skilled artisans who use vegetable-tanned cowhide in an effort to produce leather more sustainably.

Marcie Medium Crossbody Bag

Chloé’s Marcie bag has been a permanent fixture in the brand’s collection, for good reason. It’s a roomy crossbody shape that fits all the essentials for travel: passport, wallet, phone, and keys. The stitching and simple hardware give it a slight bohemian-meets-equestrian feel. I’d take this one on my summer travels and pair it with airy, cotton dresses and lace-up sandals in the Mediterranean, or to the countryside in the fall while wearing a blazer, jeans, and cowboy boots.

Everyone Needs a Crossbody Bag for Their Next Trip

Consider this style the Goldilocks of purses—it's lightweight, secure, and can fit more than you'd expect.

Woman walking around the city with a cup of coffee with crossbody bag

While the right luggage sets and weekender bags can make your transit significantly easier, I'd argue that choosing the best travel purse is even more critical. While there are tons of travel bags you can bring with you, crossbody options, specifically, are often the best way to go. These are the bags that you rely on when going on day trips or smaller excursions, and we found the best ones that expertly mix both style and function.

Even though cross-bodies are an endlessly chic bag style , not just anyone will work as the perfect travel bag. If you pick a bag too small, you'll be left juggling your essentials while sightseeing. Pick one that's too large, and you'll wish you'd left it behind in the hotel. Finding one with the details you need—like the right number of pockets or one that comes in a versatile colorway—takes some work.

So, we did the hard part for you. To find the best options before you jet off on an end-of-summer getaway, Marie Claire spoke to travel experts Yolanda Edwards of travel and lifestyle site Yolo Journa l and Brooke Saward , the writer behind the World of Wanderlust blog, which focuses on solo travel, about their go-to trip accessory—the crossbody travel bag. The belt-bag style is a favorite amongst the well-traveled set thanks to its hands-free design, detachable straps, and versatility, allowing it to take you from sightseeing to Aperitivo hour to dinner. Edwards, for instance, says she always carries two with her on every trip and cites one from designer bag band Ferragamo as her top pick.

From designer styles to smaller leather totes with handy convertible crossbody straps, the 21 bags on this list are small enough to carry hassle-free but are designed to hold all the must-haves for your next destination. Ahead, Edwards and Saward offer insight into how to find the best travel bags, including details to look out for, their favorite brands, and more.

It wouldn't be a stretch to say this bag may be Uniqlo's most popular item ever. This $20 bag has gone viral on TikTok , with tons of users showing off just how much it can carry in their videos. I actually bought the black version for a trip to Europe, and it served me better than I could have imagined—it's comfortable, holds so much despite its deceptively "Mini" name, and is durable. The shoulder strap is easily adjustable so that you can wear it in various ways. Plus, it comes in several fun colors.

What's The Material?: Nylon and polyester

Madewell The Transport Shoulder Crossbody Bag

Madewell's Transport Tote is one of our favorite leather totes of all time, so it should come as no surprise that we also love the smaller crossbody version.

The interior is roomier than expected and is specially designed to hold a tablet, a makeup pouch, and a water bottle. Another great feature is the double set of sturdy straps. Depending on your desired look and plans, you can switch this bag from a crossbody to a shoulder bag.

Tumi Tyler Crossbody Bag

Tumi is a cult-favorite luggage brand for a reason. It only uses the highest-quality materials in its designs, and functionality is a primary concern in the design process of every single piece.

What's The Material?: Nylon and leather

There's also a water bottle pouch on one side so you always remember to stay hydrated.

What's The Material?: Nylon and vegan leather trim

Rothy's The Daily Crossbody

We're big fans of Rothy's shoes here at Marie Claire, but the brand's bags are just as good. Made from Rothy's signature sustainable fabric (which is made from plastic water bottles), this is a great find for those looking for leather alternatives. It includes two removable straps to easily take you from day to night and has plenty of pockets to keep your things organized. The best part? It's fully machine-washable, so when on-the-go spills inevitably occur, you can keep it looking as good as new.

What's The Material?: Marine-plastic knit and Rothy's signature thread spun from plastic water bottle

How Many Colors Does It Come In?: Seven

What's The Material?: Genuine pebble leather

How Many Colors Does It Come In?: Five

JW PEI Women's Mini Flap Crossbody

JW PEI bags are of great quality for their price point, and I should know, considering I own a few. The brand's Mini Flap Crossbody is a good option if you're looking for a trendier bag to take with you on your travels. Available in 13 different colorways—including this dark brown and fun shades like metallic silver and bright pink—there's a shade for everyone. While this bag has no zip closure, it has a secure magnetic button and an interior zippered pocket for your personal items.

What's The Material?: Vegan leather

How Many Colors Does It Come In?: 13

Small Le Foulonné Leather Crossbody Bag

Slim bags like this one are a dream to pack—or to keep close to you on a crowded street. Longchamp is known for its lightweight nylon fabrics, but the brand's leather offerings are worth the investment, too. The adjustable shoulder strap, zipper-top design, and zippered interior pockets make this a versatile pick.

How Many Colors Does It Come In?: Three

Chaise Pebbled Leather Crossbody Bag

Sometimes, simple is better. With a sleek, classic design, this brown bag (which also comes in white) suits everyone's style and will go with nearly everything in your closet. It's not too big or small, so you can easily fit your travel essentials comfortably. Plus, the zip top closure and zipper pockets keep them secure.

Quince Italian Leather Triple Compartment Crossbody

I can always count on Quince for high-quality finds that won't break the bank. Made from Italian leather, this bag has a look and feel that feels so luxe. It features two zippered compartments and a magnetic-close middle compartment, all of which have plenty of pockets for each of your things to have a designated spot. It also comes with a removable wristlet strap so you can easily turn this bag into eveningwear.

What's The Material?: Top-grain Italian leather

Shein Minimalist Hobo Bag

Some people are the type to throw everything in a bag and go—and that's ok! If you would rather not mess around with multiple pockets, an oversized pouch option like this is the way to go. You can throw in everything you need for the day, and it can be a lot, thanks to this bag's roomy interior, zip the top, and head out the door. It has a nice thick strap, so no matter how much you're schlepping around, your shoulder won't ache.

What to Look For in a Crossbody Bag for Travel

  • A Secure Closure: How it closes separates a good travel purse from a great one. It's the most important feature of a travel purse for Edwards, who says, "It needs to have easy access, but a secure closure so nothing falls out and people can't reach into it." A crossbody bag would ideally have a zip-top closure, but a flap works, too. Stay far away from anything that doesn't close fully or only uses magnetic closures, or you'll risk easy access to pickpockets.
  • The Right Size: This may be up to personal preference, but size matters when it comes to the best travel purses. Howards says, "It can’t be too small—and must hold her wallet, passport, glasses, and lip balm—but it isn’t a carryall." With a tote bag, you'll be too tempted to throw in non-essentials, resulting in an aching shoulder at the end of the day. Instead, a crossbody bag is the "Goldilocks" of travel purses—they're small enough to carry your essentials but not too big to be burdensome.
  • The Color: Sure, a red bag may look especially trendy right now, but it's actually smarter to bring something less noticeable as your travel purse. "I would avoid choosing bright colors, because you don't want the location of your money, bank cards, or phone to stand out," Saward advises. Instead, the travel pro says she always goes with a sleek black bag—that way, her necessities are kept more under-the-radar, not to mention a black bag goes with every look seamlessly.

How to Style the Best Crossbody Bags for Travel

Crossbody Bags styled three ways.

A structured crossbody bag is ideal for keeping casual looks elevated. A contrasting bag breaks up a monochromatic outfit, or it can seamlessly blend in when worn with brighter hues.

Styling your bag isn't about making your bag the star—it's more about making sure that the bag works with every other item you pack in your travel capsule wardrobe . Versatility is everything when shopping for a travel bag. It needs to work with a travel day ensemble and a nice dinner. An easy, neutral-colored bag will work with your easiest leggings outfits or an endlessly-layered ensemble on a busy morning spent at the airport.

To find the best crossbody travel bags , we considered top brands and styles that our fiber scientists and travel pros in the Good Housekeeeping Institute Textiles Lab — who test travel gear and fashion accessories of all kinds — have evaluated in the Lab and with consumer testers, as well as the ones our product experts personally use in their everyday lives. After reviewing everything from the materials and packing compartments to convenience, durability and appearance, we're confident these are your best bets for travel and beyond.

You can learn more about how we chose these styles and what to consider as you shop at the end of this article, but first, here's everything you need to know about the best crossbody bags for travel.

Best Travel Backpacks | Best Luggage | Best Carry-On Luggage | Best Underseat Luggage | Best Tote Bags | Best Weekender Bags | Best Duffel Bags | Best Fanny Packs | Best Packing Cubes | Best Travel Gear

This fan-favorite belt bag has a loyal following of both men and women (including several GH staffers!) thanks to its comfortable fit, lightweight materials and spacious interior — all for a reasonable price. The nylon fabric is water-resistant, while the strap is fully adjustable so you can get a close fit around your torso (or waist if you prefer to wear it as a fanny pack).

Just note that unlike some crossbody bags that sit at the hip, this one lies flat against your torso, so it's not quite as easy to access the contents. Though its smaller 1L version is more popular, we think this larger size is great for travel because it can hold more while you're on the go.

Dimensions: 8.3" x 2.2" x 5.7" | Colors: Over 15 options

Despite its low cost, this bag wowed our experts and consumer testers with its comfort, style and spaciousness. In fact, it can even hold a water bottle along with a phone, wallet, keys and other essentials — all with room to spare.

One tester told us, "I love how lightweight it is and how much I can fit inside it!" Beyond that, the curved shape helps it feel comfortable at your side, even when you're walking for miles. Though its materials aren't quite as luxe as pricier bags, it still looks sleek and neutral enough to wear with a variety of outfits.

Dimensions: 11" x 6.7" x 3.9" | Colors: 7 options

Though the style looks and feels substantial, it's s urprisingly lightweight thanks to its performance fabrics that also happen to be water-repellent. Each bag features a quilted design and is easily packable so it doesn't take up valuable space in your suitcase.

The bag is on the larger size for a crossbody with one big main compartment, plus a small zippered pocket in the front so you can quickly find your essentials. It's also worth noting that the adjustable strap is longer than some other crossbodies, meaning it can also be carried as a low-hanging shoulder bag.

Dimensions: 12" x 122" x 4" | Colors: 7 options

Baggallini Central Park Sling Crossbody

Central Park Sling Crossbody

Sling bags are ideal for anyone who wants the functionality of a backpack with the wearability of a crossbody bag. This one in particular is made with smart travel features, including RFID protection and an extra strap to stop pickpocketing.

It also has plenty of compartments, including ones on the back (facing your body) and an easily accessible pocket in the front. One GH staffer that swears by this bag saying, "It's super comfortable and feels secure to wear while in big cities or crowded areas."

Dimensions: 7" x 12" x 2.5" | Colors: 10 options

Leatherology Meadow Large Satchel

Meadow Large Satchel

For those who prefer leather bags over ones with synthetic performance fabrics, this fashion-forward pick is great for a more elevated luxury look, especially when you're dressed to impress on vacation.

While most stylish leather crossbodies have sky-high designer price tags, this one is on the more affordable end. Worn by celebrities like Serena Williams and Kristen Bell, it's not as lightweight as other travel crossbodies, but our testers say it's not too heavy, either. It has two zippered pockets, each with organizational compartments inside. It's also available in smaller sizes at lower costs.

Dimensions: 10.25" x 7.25" x 4" | Colors: 9 options

Travelon Anti-Theft Classic Mini Shoulder Bag

Anti-Theft Classic Mini Shoulder Bag

If safety is a big concern for your trip, consider a bag that has smart features to keep your belongings protected. This one in particular is equipped with five standout anti-theft features , including zippers that clip closed to prevent pickpocketing, slash-resistant fabric, slash-resistant straps, RFID-blocking pockets and a strap clip that lets you secure it to a chair when you're dining.

Travelon makes a variety of anti-theft crossbody bags , but this one is Amazon's Choice with nearly 10,000 reviews and an average 4.6-star rating. It has a slim design with interior pockets to carry essentials like your passport, phone and wallet, though it doesn't hold quite as much as other styles.

Dimensions: 8.5" x 8.5" x 2" | Colors: 15 options

Nite Ize Runoff Waterproof Hip Pack

Runoff Waterproof Hip Pack

If you'll be traveling in wet conditions — including going underwater — consider a waterproof pouch that you can wear as a crossbody. This one even has a waterproof zipper and is designed to keep your contents dry ; you can even carry your phone and money into a pool while wearing it! A clear front screen allows you to use a touch-screen phone without taking it out. Plus, the crossbody strap can adjust to be worn as as a belt bag.

Dimensions: 8.58" x 4.92" x 1.77" | Colors: 2 options

Athleta Revive Modular Crossbody Bag

Revive Modular Crossbody Bag

If you prefer a smaller crossbody but worry that it's not big enough, consider this unique style from Athleta that has add-on compartments in the strap.

The main pouch is a foam-like material with a water-repellent finish and it lies flat against the body. The strap contains pouches designed to hold sunglasses and AirPods. As an added bonus, the strap is removable and can be attached onto other bags, while the pouch can be used as an organizer inside larger purses.

Dimensions: Not listed | Colors: 2 options

Beis The Sport Sling

The Sport Sling

For those that always carry around a water bottle, this sporty sling bag has a hidden bottle pouch that you can tuck away whenever you don't need it.

Besides its two zippered compartments, it also has a microfiber-lined pocket in the front for your cell phone or sunglasses. Plus, there's a small zippered compartment in the back in case you need your phone or other essentials kept safe. It's not super spacious, but it has card organizers inside a zippered pocket in case you just want to bring a credit card and ID without a full wallet.

Dimensions: 6.7" x 8.2" x 2.7" | Colors: 3 options

Lululemon All Night Festival Bag 5L

All Night Festival Bag 5L

Like a modern-day messenger, this style has a wide opening so you can easily sift through everything you packed inside. Once it's zippered shut, the top folds over and secures with a magnet. (Just note that Lululemon warns the magnet can interfere with certain electronic devices and bank cards.)

One GH staffer said she uses it every day and noted that the flap "feels secure while commuting or traveling and allows for a quick retrieval for items inside." Like other Lululemon bags , it has a lightweight and water-resistant performance fabric.

Dimensions: 7.9" x 3.9" x 8.3" | Colors: 3 options

Dange Dover Landon Neoprene Carryall Bag (Extra Small)

Landon Neoprene Carryall Bag (Extra Small)

Available in five sizes, this style's largest options make perfect weekender bags while the smaller ones are more ideal as crossbody purses. This extra-small size still has a five-liter capacity, making it spacious enough to carry on-the-go essentials, even holding a small tablet or notebook.

We especially love this one's organizational features: inside the main zippered compartment are three pockets and a key leash, while the outside has a phone sleeve for easy access (though keep in mind: It's not zippered, so it's less secure). We also love its soft neoprene fabric and wide straps to support a heavier load.

Dimensions: 9" x 4.75" x 6.25" | Colors: 9 options

MZ Wallace Crossbody Belt Bag

Crossbody Belt Bag

When fashion is the first and foremost priority, consider a splurge-worthy style like this quilted belt bag. Despite its large size, it's still fairly lightweight thanks to its nylon material. It's also functional for travel with two zippered compartments and built-in pockets for organization.

We love its versatility thanks to its three detachable straps: Two wide ones for your waist or across the body and one chain strap to dress it up. Online reviewers call it "perfect for international travel," with one saying she found it especially useful on a trip to London and Paris.

Dimensions: 10" x 8.5" x 2" | Colors: 4 options

Bandolier Crossbody Bag

Crossbody Bag

For a simple, chic and timeless style, this small crossbody is described as a "sleek look with a ton of functionality packed in" by one GH analyst who personally uses it. For starters, the adjustable strap can be swapped for other straps from the brand , plus the bag can expand a bit to pack in more when you need it. The flap secures with a magnet (there's no zipper) and it's made with real pebbled leather for an elegant look that can be dressed up.

Dimensions: 8" x 6" x 3" | Colors: 3 options

Madewell The Medium Transport Tote

The Medium Transport Tote

Combining the capacity of a tote with the convenient strap of a crossbody, Madewell's bag is a tester favorite thanks to its supple leather and spacious interior.

A GH analyst that carries this bag while traveling said it's especially useful if you're going to be shopping so you don't have to carry around extra bags as you explore new cities. It's also ideal if you need to carry a bulky load, like an umbrella, water bottle and layers of clothing, but be aware that there's no zippered closure for protection.

Dimensions: 12.25" x 11" x 5.5" | Colors: 2 options

Coach Willow Bucket Bag

Willow Bucket Bag

If you're willing to invest in a well-made crossbody, this luxury bag from Coach looks stylish and uses high-end construction. One GH staffer that recommended this style said, "I own a variety of Coach bags and they continue to stay in great condition," adding that the Coach Outlet is a great option for more affordable versions.

She likes this bag in particular because of how roomy it is, calling it "just the right size." Just note that it has multiple sections, some of which are unzippered, making contents less secure while traveling.

Dimensions: 9.25" x 8.75" x 4.25" | Color: Black

How we chose the best crossbody travel bags

linebreak

The experts in the Good Housekeeping Institute Textiles Lab are passionate about finding the best products at the crossroads of fashion and function, constantly testing to find apparel and accessories that perform well, feel (and look) great and last for years to come.

To find the best crossbody bags for travel, we considered our staff's personal favorites from the dozens of styles that we've tested in our Lab and personally tried out in real life. We also asked other Good Housekeeping editors and analysts to weigh in with their recommendations, plus we performed market research using our product expertise to find new and popular styles from brands we know and love.

How to shop for travel-friendly crossbody bags

linebreak

The one thing all crossbody bags have in common is that they're worn across your body. Other than that, here's what to consider when choosing the best crossbody bag for your next getaway:

  • Size: Smaller dimensions typically mean the bag is more totable, but will hold less. Alternatively, larger bags may fit more inside but can be cumbersome to wear, depending on your type of travel. Besides the dimensions, also consider the capacity: 1-2 liters will be smaller, while 5 liters will be more spacious yet still comfortable to wear.
  • Compartments and pockets : Some crossbody bags have one main compartment, while others have several compartments to help you stay organized. Also check for pockets inside the compartments, including pouches to hold your phone, keys and cards for easy access.
  • Closures: Most crossbody bags for travel have zippers to keep everything safe and secure inside. However, some have magnet closures and others have no closures at all. Consider how secure you need your belongings to be and whether you'll be at risk for things falling out or being pickpocketed.
  • Materials: Many styles are made of synthetic performance fabrics (like nylon and polyester) because they're lightweight and water-resistant. If you prefer a more luxurious bag, opt for leather (or even faux leather). Also keep in mind that bags with metal hardware will be heavier to carry around.
  • Adjustability: To ensure your crossbody bag will fit comfortably around your torso, check for an adjustable strap so you can find the right fit. Some crossbody bags are also convertible, meaning you can change the straps or change how you wear them on your body.
  • Packability: If you'll be packing your crossbody bag in your suitcase, consider opting for a lighter and thinner style instead of one that's more structured. If you do prefer a structured bag for style, consider wearing while en route to your destination or filling it with smaller items (like socks and underwear) in the suitcase so you don't waste valuable packing space.
  • Safety features: Certain trips require you to pay closer attention to the risk of people that prey on tourists. In these cases, look for anti-theft features like secure zippers, straps that can attach onto your seat and RFID-blocking technology.
  • Appearance: Last, but certainly not least, it's okay to choose a travel bag based on how it looks without sacrificing other important features. Consider what you'll be doing and wearing throughout your trip.

Crossbody bags are the ideal daypack for travel—they are more secure and foil pickpockets better than over-the-shoulder purses or backpacks , and they don’t immediately mark you as a tourist.

13 Best Crossbody Bags For Travel

A question that is uppermost in most traveler’s minds is security, how to carry essentials without being the target of pickpockets. While backpacks have always been one of the most convenient travel accessories, more people realize that a crossbody bag is a much better option. The reason is its easy access and added security. With a crossbody travel bag, you’re handsfree and safe. You can safely whip out your camera and capture that perfect picture while having your belongings securely around you. Another great thing is that a crossbody travel bag is not bulky but stylish too. Today you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to buying a designer crossbody bag because there are so many of them in the market. Which one to settle for and how to choose the right one is probably the uppermost question. To make things simpler for you we’ve picked what we think are 13 Best Crossbody Bags For Travel. However, before perusing our list there are a few things that you need to keep in mind when choosing a bag. Our tips below will help you do just that.

How To Choose The Right Crossbody Bag

There’s no right or wrong answer to this one as most things we buy are related to personal choice. However, there are some practicalities that are universal no matter what your choice. So some things to look out for before picking out the ‘cutest’ looking bag are :

Don’t Compromise on Material

No matter which part of the world you’re traveling in you’ll want the have the most durable bag . You don’t want something that begins to fray, or shoulder straps and zippers that break. Don’t compromise on quality as this is where you’re going to be keeping some of your most important stuff. A bag made from water-resistant material is also a must to keep your gadgets safe.

Light is Right

When you’re going to be filling your bag with quite a few things you want to make sure that the bag itself doesn’t weigh a ton. Choose something that is lightweight and easy to carry. Also, choose a size that fits your travel needs.

If you’re traveling to a congested city or a place renowned for pickpockets then you’ll probably need some additional security. There are plenty of stylish anti-theft crossbody bags to choose from. These bags have slash-resistant bodies and straps, lockdown hardware and locking compartments. They also have RFID blocking compartments to prevent identity theft. However, if you’re settling for a regular crossbody bag make sure that it has good zip closures.

This is another area that you should not compromise on no matter how good looking the bag is. At the end of the day, you don’t want to mire your trip with sore shoulders. Padded straps are great but if they’re not available to make sure your strap adjusts well. Make sure your bag also has a side pocket for your water bottle.

Now that you have a fair idea of what you’re looking for in a crossbody bag, check out our list below.

Travelon Luggage Anti Theft Cross Body Bag

There’s no denying that this is one of the best crossbody travel bags in the market with its special anti-theft features. Travelon is probably one of the most dependable when it comes to security. When you’re traveling you want the freedom to carry your essentials without worrying about security. This crossbody bag helps you to do just that. The locking compartments are one of the best things about this bag. Pickpockets are going to have a hard time getting into this one, as we’ve personally experienced. Another great feature is the stainless steel mesh. Camouflaged under the outer fabric, between the lining, the stainless steel protects the bag from slash and grab thieves. The Travelon has one more hidden surprise in the strap. The straps too are fitted with stainless steel cables which cannot be cut. You can even lock down your bag onto the back of a chair with no fear of someone snatching it. Added to this are the RFID blocking slots which help keep passports and cards safe from identity thieves. This is definitely a personal favorite as the stylish crossbody bag also sits snugly against the body.

What We Love About It

  • The bag is available in 16 different colors so we were really spoiled for choice.
  • An easily adjustable strap that makes the bag look trendy.
  • The LED light which you can clip your keys onto.
  • Slash-resistant body and straps
  • Can be locked down to the back of a chair or post
  • RFID Blocking Slots and Pockets
  • Removable LED Light
  • Although it is fairly roomy don’t expect to be able to carry too much bulk.
  • The magnetic buttons on the front are not as sturdy as they seem.

Travelon Unisex Anti Theft Heritage Crossbody Tour Bag

This versatile unisex crossbody travel bag looks good on both men and women. It may be a little compact if you’re looking to carry any extras in your handbag. However, it works well if you only want to fill it with smaller stuff. The padded compartment is big enough to hold an iPad or tablet. For added security, it is fitted with a zippered RFID blocking pocket.

The unisex crossbody bag also has two mesh expansion pockets for a water bottle, sunglasses or an umbrella. It also features an LED light with a tethered key clip, great for keeping your keys safe. Like most Travelon crossbody bags, this one is also slash-resistant with locking straps.

We like that the bag is made from durable cotton canvas with rich suede trim. It makes the bag look high-end yet stylishly casual.

The two expansion pockets which are handy for an umbrella or water bottle. Lots of compartments with easily maneuverable zipper locks. The rear zippered pocket which is fantastic for carrying a passport or any small high-value item.

  • Padded roomy compartment with zippered RFID blocking pocket
  • The material is durable and trendy.
  • Tethered clip with LED light.
  • Sturdy and comfortable strap.

Pacsafe Women’s Citysafe CS100 Anti-Theft Travel Handbag

If you’re looking for a classic everyday crossbody bag then we recommend the Pacsafe Citysafe Cs 100. This women’s bag which is available in three colors ranks high on security. We were quite impressed with the subtlety of its anti-theft features. The eXomesh slash guards that are camouflaged within the body, carry-safe straps, and the turn and lock security hooks. Added to this is the RFID blocking pocket to keep your personal data safe. With plenty of room to store your essentials, this bag is the perfect crossbody bag for travel. Another great feature that we liked is the classic silhouette design that gives it that stylish edge. The bag is practical without looking bulky or ordinary.

  • The classic silhouette design makes this a more stylish bag to carry around.
  • We felt that the black bag was a lot roomier than the mulberry one.
  • Padded CarrySafe shoulder strap embedded with stainless steel wire

Pacsafe Women’s Citysafe Cs100 Anti-theft Travel Handbag-Mulberry Cross-Body Bag, One Size

Baggallini Everywhere Crossbody Bagg

This probably won’t sit well with those who prefer to carry smaller travel bags. However, for someone in a habit of cramming their handbags, this is probably the best crossbody travel bag for you. The great thing about this bag is that despite its bigger size it is still pretty lightweight. We found that cleaning the durable water-resistant material is a breeze too. You can wipe off stains pretty easily. The purse is stylish and functional with well-organized pockets with ideal depth. You don’t have to fish around too much inside to find something. There’s also a lipstick compartment to keep this essential from ‘coloring’ the bag by mistake.

The Baggallini comes with two side pockets but they’re not ideal for carrying big water bottles. You could probably squeeze in a narrow water bottle into the open pocket. The other side pocket is great for carrying sunglasses as it has a zipper and elastic pouch.

Although this bag is bigger in size it’s not big on security like the other bags. The only safety feature on this one is the RFID on the removable coin purse. However, another thing that this crossbody bag is big on is the range of colors. With over 20 colors to choose from, you’re spoiled for choice with this one too.

  • The wide array of thoughtfully designed compartments which helps in organizing little things.
  • We thought the removable purse in the same color was a cute addition to the bag.
  • Despite its bigger size, it’s not heavy or bulky
  • RFID protected lining
  • Durable water-resistant material
  • Sleeve for luggage handle
  • Exterior pockets are ideal for storing your phone
  • More highly-priced than most crossbody travel bags

Vera Bradley Women’s Signature Cotton Hipster Crossbody Purse

If you’re looking at something which looks rich but doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket then this one is for you. We’re probably a little biased towards bright-colored things, and that’s probably why the Vera Bradley scored big with us. We think these brightly colored bags with versatile designs and customized patterns are one of the best luxury crossbody bags for travel. They probably won’t score big with older women, but younger women and girls will definitely love these bags. The crossbody strap is adjustable so that the bag can be worn crossbody or slung over the shoulder. Another great thing about this bag is the storage space. Three interior and exterior pockets make it really handy for carrying a number of things. You’ll be surprised by just how much you can fit into this luxurious crossbody bag. The icing on the cake with this one is that it is machine washable and durable too.

  • The wide range of colors and patterns that add a bit of zing to any outfit.
  • Spacious and stylish to put an extra dash of color on that trip.
  • Not too heavily priced
  • Extremely light with a sleek finish.
  • Great storage space.
  • Available in over 30 different colors and patterns
  • Durable and machine washable
  • The strap could have been better designed. The metal adjuster tends to dig into the skin if worn at certain angles.
  • No anti-theft features

Roma Leathers Genuine Leather Multi-Pocket Crossbody Purse Bag

This crossbody bag doesn’t score big on design but is a great choice for those who prefer genuine material to synthetic. The reason why we picked this bag is because of its durability and low price range. Since it’s made from cowhide leather you can be sure that it will last through your travels. Even if it does not last for years, you won’t be too disappointed at the price you paid. For a bag of this size (9 x 6.5 x 1 inches) you can surprisingly fit quite a lot into it. This is because of the many zippered pockets that there are on the outside. The back pocket, however, is not zippered which makes its ideal for carrying your phone. The adjustable strap also allows you to play around with the style. You can carry it over your shoulder or across your body. We think that is one of the best budget crossbody bags because although it does not have any anti-theft features it’s secure enough to keep everything safe.

  • Although it’s small there’s a lot that can fit into it.
  • We liked the fact that it’s made from genuine leather which is designed to last.
  • Available in 5 different colors
  • Made from genuine leather
  • Affordable Price
  • Rear open pocket makes it handy for a boarding pass or phone
  • The strap connection is a little weak.

Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC Convertible Crossbody Handbag

We’re probably pushing up the budget with this bag when compared to our previous pick but there’s a reason for it. Not everyone who travels is on a shoestring budget, and even budget travelers enjoy a bit of sophistication now and then. Don’t worry about the chain strap looking too ‘blingy.’ In fact, we think it’s quite a stylish addition as the gold hardware gives it that extra oomph. We also love the hanging tassels. This designer crossbody bag is the right size to fit your essentials like your wallet and phone. The convertible option allows you to change the style according to your look. If you’re going with the sporty look then the crossbody option would look much better. However, if you’re wearing a dress you’d probably want the more classic look. What makes this one of the best designer crossbody bags for travel is the wide range of colors to choose from.

  • It’s sleek, stylish and expensive!
  • The phrase ‘traveling in style’ sits perfectly on this one.
  • Stylish and durable
  • The main pocket is quite roomy and holds quite a lot
  • The front pocket with a zipper keeps small items secure
  • It’s a tad expensive so probably not your everyday purse.
  • The chain makes the bag slightly heavy.

Rebecca Minkoff Mini Mac Convertible Cross-Body Bag

Travelon Unisex Anti-Theft Active Tour 

This bag is great for those who love their backpacks. Another great anti-theft crossbody bag from Travelon, the Active Tour is great for both men and women. It’s also durable enough for various conditions such as the outdoors or a long commute. We liked the functionality and comfort of this bag. The durable waterproof fabric also has a reflective print and cleans up pretty well.

The anti-theft features are an added bonus especially when traveling in congested cities. The locking zippers on two of the larger pockets, slash-resistant body, and the tamper-proof strap makes travel stress free. Like all travel bags from Travelon, this one too comes with RFID blocking pockets.

We also loved the space, with plenty of pockets to keep things organized. You can fit your passport, driver’s license, and other smaller things into their own compartments. The crossbody travel bag comes with a water bottle holder, unlike most other bags. You can fit a liter bottle into the outside pocket quite easily.

  • The space with plenty of pockets for organizing things.
  • It can be worn two ways – crossbody or as a backpack.
  • Anti-theft features add to the security.
  • Available in four different colors
  • Tethered key clip and LED light
  • Reflective printing for safety day and night
  • Lightweight durable material
  • Water bottle compartment
  • The bag tends to tip if filled with too many things.
  • The listed size is much smaller than the actual size of the bag
  • Limited Color Range

Travelon Anti-Theft Active Tour Bag, Black

Alyssa Triple Zip Pocket Large Crossbody Bag

This bag is a bestseller on Amazon and why wouldn’t it be with the wide range of colors to choose from. With over 35 colors, the Alyssa Triple Zip is a clear winner. However, that’s not the only thing that puts this bag right at the top of our list of best crossbody travel bags. It’s slightly larger than the regular crossbody bags because of its vertical design, which means that there is more room for storage. This does not take away from its overall look though. There are 3 zipper compartments in front, one at the back and two inside pockets. The faux leather material is also soft and feels great against the body.  What impressed us most about this bag is that it fits quite well on a bigger person too. This is because the strap adjusts a long way.

  • The outer material has a good aesthetic appeal
  • The mind-boggling range of colors.
  • Easily adjustable strap to match various heights
  • Good size for storage
  • 4 compartments for better organization
  • Durable zippers
  • Wide range of colors
  • Heavier than most bags
  • The depth of the pockets can sometimes be annoying when fishing around for something

Triple Zip Pocket Large Crossbody Bag

Pacsafe Metrosafe LS250 12 Liter Anti Theft Shoulder Bag

This is another of those bags that will score big with backpack lovers. Although not as large as a backpack, this crossbody bag can accommodate an 11′ laptop with no problems. We recommend this crossbody bag for international travel especially Europe. Since most places in Europe now ask for backpacks to be checked, you could probably slip under the radar with this one. What we especially liked about this crossbody bag is the design and functionality. With its classic design, this stylish crossbody travel bag looks good on both men and women. Its two compartments and zip pocket at the back provide ample storage space. Two pockets on the outside are great for carrying your water bottle and umbrella. A padded sleeve in the main pocket is great for keeping your devices safe. What we also liked is that the Carrysafe strap can be adjusted to suit a wide range of heights. You can also be sure that no one is going to make off with your bag with the anti-theft features. The eXomesh lining, smart zipper security and RFID blocking pocket will ensure a stress-free trip.

  • Despite its generous storage space its surprisingly light.
  • The durable waterproof material seems pretty indestructible and designed to last.
  • Great anti-theft features such as anti-slash body and strap, and smart zipper security
  • RFID blocking pockets
  • Two outside pockets for water bottle and umbrella
  • Padded 11″ laptop sleeve
  • 5-year warranty
  • RFID pocket is pretty small
  • The curved bottom makes the bag tip over

Pacsafe Metrosafe LS250 12 Liter Anti Theft Shoulder Bag – Fits 11-inch Laptop, Lightweight (1.46 lbs) with RFID Blocking Pocket and Lockable Zippers (Black)

HAIKU Women’s Ascend Travel Crossbody Zippered Shoulder Bag

Haiku is a great company to go for if you want to support a noble cause. Made from recycled plastic bottles, these bags are not just functional but help the environment too. Each bag saves over 12 beverage bottles from ending up in the landfill, which is pretty impressive.

We were pleasantly surprised by the space this bag has. There are lots of neat pockets on the exterior for better organization and also one on the inside. We also liked the two straps on the bag that can be removed according to your choice of style. You can carry the bag on your shoulder or use the longer strap to adjust it across your body. The base is also great as the bag sits steady when you put it down.

  • It’s a great functional bag that’s made from recycled plastic. Need we say more!
  • Roomy stylish bag
  • Has two removable straps which provide styling freedom
  • Secure top zip closure
  • Exterior and interior pockets
  • Since it’s made from recycled material the outside feels a little scratchy

TUMI – Voyageur Troy Luanda Black Crossbody Flight Bag

This is one of the most expensive crossbody bags on our list but we just couldn’t help it. With its stylish look and excellent configuration, we think it will add some extra ‘zing’ to your travel. This flight bag is a good buy for those who prefer something small to store their travel essentials. For its compact size, we were pleasantly surprised by the space. There are several interior and exterior pockets for organization.  The interior slip pocket is great for storing a passport or other flight documents. What we like about it is the gold hardware which adds to the elegance of the nylon fabric. The thin strap can be a cause for concern, although it does not seem to lack on quality. Some may find it a little too thin.

  • The gold hardware complements the black rather than making it appear too blingy
  • Several Interior and Exterior Pockets
  • TUMI Tracer to track if stolen
  • Zipper Closure
  • Durable and washable fabric
  • Practical stylish design
  • Very heavily priced for such a small bag

TUMI – Voyageur Troy Crossbody Bag – Over Shoulder Satchel for Women

NeatPack Crossbody Bag for Women

If you’re looking for a stylish yet practical crossbody bag then this bag from NeatPack is for you. It has great storage space and well thought out pockets for organizing and carrying things around. The adjustable shoulder strap has padding which makes it easier to carry around for longer periods of time. However, the strap can be a little long for a shorter person if they want to sling it over the shoulder.

This bag is not big on anti-theft features like the Travelon or Pacsafe but it does have a few. The double zipper on the main pouch can be locked especially if you’re traveling in a crowded area. It also has an anti-theft RFID Pocket to keep your cards and passport safe.  Another great thing about this bag is the durable nylon fabric that repels moisture and stains.

  • 100% Lifetime Money-Back Guarantee. It shows the brand is quite certain of the good quality of its product.
  • All three colors look great
  • Practical with lots of space
  • Comfortable padded shoulder strap
  • Durable nylon material
  • RFID blocking pocket
  • Side Pocket for water bottle
  • The zippers are not very durable

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crossbody bag.

Just as the name suggests these bags are worn across the body with the strap looped over the opposite shoulder. They generally hang to one side of the body just on the hips but can be adjusted for style. All crossbody bags usually come with a long adjustable strap for the user to wear the bag according to their comfort.

Why are crossbody bags so popular for travel?

Although these bags are not as big as backpacks, travelers have discovered their convenience. Since they hang in front of the body it’s easy to access all your valuables without having to take the bag off every time. The bag which goes over your head cannot be pulled off easily by bag snatchers. Another great thing is that you are practically hands-free with these bags.

Is it necessary to get an anti-theft crossbody bag?

This is purely a personal choice but if you are going to be traveling in a congested area or a city infamous for pickpockets it’s best to get one. However, even if none of the anti-theft bags catch your attention there’s no need to panic. All crossbody bags make it pretty difficult for thieves to get at your stuff. Just make sure that you have proper zippers even if you don’t get an anti-theft crossbody bag.

What are the features that make the best anti-theft crossbody bag?

If you decide to buy an anti-theft bag there are a few standout features to look for, and no, it’s not an internal pocket. There are five features that make a complete anti-theft bag.

  • Slash resistant body
  • Slash resistant straps
  • Locking compartments
  • Lockdown hardware
  • RFID blocking pockets to prevent identity theft.

Which is the best crossbody travel bag to buy?

Again this is purely a personal choice depending on the style and budget that you have. A good crossbody bag should be durable, functional, comfortable and safe. If the bag you’re eyeing ticks these boxes, then it’s the best one for you.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right accessories or luggage while traveling can be quite a daunting task. However, whatever you choose to buy, make sure that it addresses all your travel needs. Since a crossbody bag is much smaller than your regular bag, look for something that will not only look good but be practical too. When you list down your needs, zeroing on the right bag becomes so much easier.

How to Shop for Travel-Friendly Crossbody Bags

elle line break

  • Look for bags that close securely. Zippered or lock closure tops are best. Snaps and magnets come in second, and open tops offer the least protection against theft.
  • Before purchasing, make sure a bag will hold all of your necessities. If you’re a seasoned traveler, you likely know which items you like to keep on your throughout your days. But if not, give it some thought. Will you want to keep your passport on your person, or are you comfortable using the hotel safe? Do you carry an inhaler or EpiPen? Is your wallet large, or do you have a sleek card holder? Think these things over and be sure your new bag will hold everything you want it to. Often, it’s better to go slightly larger than you might initially think you need. Size up.
  • Ideally, the bag will feel comfortable to wear and will have a thick, perhaps even padded, strap. It’s also preferable for straps to be adjustable.
  • The more organizational features, the better.
  • A bag that can be worn in multiple ways or has a versatile style is best if you want to pack light. Some bags won’t transition well to a fancy dinner or night out. If you only plan to bring one bag, keep this in mind.
  • If you’re more concerned with practicality, you’ll definitely want to look for durable, weather-resistant materials, so you don’t have to worry about getting caught in the rain.

Why Crossbody Bags Are Good for Travelers

linebreak

  • If worn as a true crossbody, it’s not as easy for the bag to slip off your shoulder—or to be snatched—as it is with a tote, shoulder, or handbag. Yet, it still provides that handsfree convenience. The same can be said for backpacks.
  • From a fashion perspective, crossbody bags are easier to dress up than backpacks and are likely to match with more of your outfits.

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
