A cross body bag is helpful for more reasons than one. It’s a great way to stay hands free while shopping or on the go and adding a vintage edge to your look.

We are seeing a large amount of “simple” leather pouches that are reminiscent of the 70s and 80s, some new and some vintage appearing in the market. The best part about this trend is that it works for everyone.

Finding the right length is key. A well fitted cross body bag should sit right at your waistline. The actual bag itself! If you find that fabulous bag that you can’t live without that’s too long, don’t fret, you can always have a shoemaker adjust your strap.

A small to medium cross body bag is best. Part of the joy of the cross body is that it is often a bit more manageable than your larger bags. It should not compete with your own curves or be larger!
