Stylish Crossbody Bags for Women to Carry this Fall

When it comes to functionality, it's hard to beat the crossbody bag. Sure, designer fanny packs are just as utility-driven—and having quite a moment as of late—if maybe more sartorially polarizing. The crossbody, on the other hand, is pure hands-free, drama-free practicality. Its origin story also backs this up: centuries ago, crossbody bags were used by both men and women to carry coins; eventually men co-opted the style to transport the tools of their trade. Today designers regularly put highly creative spins on these once-humble vessels, playing with texture, shape, fabric, size, and color. A T&C-curated selection, below, of the best crossbody bags to add to your collection now.
