The Best Crossbody Bags for Everyday Use
A crossbody bag is the one you reach for without thinking. Hands free, everything to hand, and easy to wear with anything. The best everyday crossbody holds what you need, sits comfortably, and still looks good on the school run, at your desk, or out at the weekend. Here are three of ours that do exactly that.
What makes a good everyday crossbody
A few things matter when you carry a bag every day:
- It fits your essentials without being bulky
- The strap sits comfortably across the body
- It wears well and holds its shape
- It works with the rest of your wardrobe
All three bags below tick those boxes. Each is made in Italy from Italian pebble grain leather, so they hold up to daily use and hide the odd knock along the way.
The Maisie — best for choosing your size
The Maisie is our everyday crossbody, and it comes in three sizes: Mini, Midi, and Maxi. That is the beauty of it. Pick the Mini for phone, keys, and cards on a light day. Size up to the Midi or Maxi when you want to carry more. Whatever your day looks like, there is a Maisie to match.
Best for: anyone who wants to choose the size that fits their day.
The tassel bag — best for colour
If you like a bit of choice, the tassel bag comes in more than twenty colours. That makes it easy to find one that goes with everything, or to pick a few for different moods and outfits. It has the same everyday, hands-free ease, with a little extra character from the tassel.
Best for: anyone who wants plenty of colour to choose from.
The Harriet — best for carrying more
The Harriet is a bit bigger, with a crossbody option and lots of pockets to keep you organised. It fits a small laptop or iPad plus everything you need for the day, so it works just as well for the office as it does for a busy day out. If your everyday means carrying a little more, this is the one.
Best for: work days and anyone who likes to carry more.
How to choose
It comes down to how much you carry and what you want from the bag:
- Want to pick your size? Go for the Maisie.
- Want lots of colour? Go for the tassel bag.
- Want to fit a laptop and stay organised? Go for the Harriet.
Plenty of people own more than one. A smaller crossbody for light days, and a roomier one for when there is more to carry.
Made to last
Each of these is made in Italy from Italian pebble grain leather, a textured finish that hides marks and wears well over time. A quick wipe with a soft cloth keeps them looking good. For the full routine, read our leather care guide.
