(Part 2) Best crossbody bags for women according to redditors

Fav Blouse - Lauren Conrad Pink

Fav Casual Shirt - Striped chestnut Target shirt

Fav Jean - Mossimo High Rise Jegging (I only have 1-2 pairs of jeans, and am still hunting for a good pair)

Fav Skirt - Pink pleated Modcloth

Fav Fall/Winter Dress - Maroon Modcloth

Fav Sundress - Floral blue Target (This is such a random cheap dress I bought but I adore it and it looks great on me)

Fav Cardigan - Brown Old Navy

Fav Fall/Winter Shoe - Steve Madden Stinger booties

Fav Spring/Summer Shoe - Lucky Brand brown Emmie Flats

Fav Bag - Floral Coach (This is my summer/spring purse)

Size is important as far as being too big goes. If it’s too big they are likely to give you a hard time. The bag should be totally clear, zippers and stitching excluded.

this is the one I got. There’s a lot of different ones on amazon, just make sure you check the reviews to see if other people used them to get into stadiums! If you want a different one than my example, I just searched “nfl stadium clear bag” and got a ton of results. Good luck!

Edit- I don’t know anything about cameras but typically if it has a removable lens, it’s not allowed. A plain point and shoot digital camera should be fine (I’m sorry idk what DSLR means, I literally only use my iPhone for pictures lolll)

Looks like a Chloe "Nile Half Moon" bag. Here is a similar one from Amazon. :)
Edit: link.

This bag also reminds me of a cheap one I got on amazon that I really like! It’s a great size and I have the one in the color “coffee” but it’s a bit lighter than what is shown in the picture. You might want to look through the colors because I think it’s a great, super affordable alternative to this bag!

Before I found this amazing sub, I bought this Chloe Faye inspired back pack from Amazon. I actually liked it a lot because it is a well made bag with real leather and suede. I got the tan one and loved wearing it.

One day I was in line at the store and some girl comes up behinds me and asked me where I got my bag, I was like from amazon! Just look up fairybridal backpack! She responds, oh “cool”, looks like a Chloe. I felt like she was being sarcastic, so I responded, oh ya, but I paid a fraction of the price and it’s super functional!

Honestly, after that, I was a little self conscious about the bag after that because of that incident.

Someone help me decide!

I'm going on vacation later this week and was GOING to just bring a $50 DSW bag I've had sitting in my closet for like, five years, since I'll be out of the country and didn't want to risk ruining any bag I really love, or making myself a target for robbery/rip-offs/other shenanigans.

But then I found a few Amazon look-alikes and now I'm wondering if I can justify buying a cheap bag just so I have something cute to carry around with me! The idea is to keep it under $50. (Plus, I found out yesterday my bf's mom is 'into' designer bags, so maybe it could spark a conversation? LOL)

Thoughts on any of these??

[Is this a copycat? Or just the most generic purse ever? I kind of like it!] (https://www.amazon.com/Shoulder-Leather-Satchel-Mochila-Handbags/dp/B01MCZB0JU/ref=pd_d0_recs_v2_nib_309_6?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01MCZB0JU&pd_rd_r=H3FQ1S3T6H21Y12QQ1S8&pd_rd_w=eFqdL&pd_rd_wg=Hu3RU&refRID=H3FQ1S3T6H21Y12QQ1S8)

Also, FYI, I'm seeing straight up 'branded' LV, Hermes, and Gucci belts (well, 'branded' buckles) if anyone wants me to post!

I'm looking to purchase my first ~big girl~ purse but I'd like some input. I'm looking for something on the smaller side, crossbody, black or cognac brown leather. I'd like to keep it under $200 but it's flexible. I currently use this and really like it; if I could find the same one but in leather I'd buy it.

Here's what I've been interested in:

1: Madewell Mini Abroad Crossbody

2: Madewell Abroad Shoulder Bag

3: Lo and Sons Pearl

4: Fossil Rachel Satchel

5: Leather Satchel from Etsy

6: Leather Crossbody from Etsy

If you have other suggestions I'm open to them!

> I just got done shopping buying a bunch of new things for a trip I'll be taking soon and I'm just so happy. :)

I feel you on that!

I recently got a new purse (well more of a convertable clutch purse) and I've never been more thrilled. It's basically my wallet, but if I don't need my normal purse I can pull it out, swap on it's own shoulderstrap, and just go.

My purse, in case you were wondering. Also, the new one I just got that is my wallet/clutch combo. Kipling has a customer for life in me lol.

Having worked in Amazon's design team in the UK, I can let you know that unfortunately not all the products in their photography sets are ones found on Amazon.

I can't seem to locate that exact image you've shared, however one thing that could potentially help is if you go to the image's source url and see if there's a ten character code in it (e.g. B077RNNFRB), if so you can then go directly to the product's page by entering https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077RNNFRB in the browser.

Hope you find what you're looking for!

I got my mom a small crossbody bag similar to this when she had this issue and she effing loved it.

I have a black Rebecca Minkoff I got for xmas a few seasons ago that is my fav. I can’t find anything like it now except it’s sorta similar in shape to the Chloé crossbody. My go to that goes with anything is my small black Kate Spade. I just bought the same one (think it’s the Jackson Street Gabrielle) in tan for summer. I have a horrible time with small crossbody purses because many of the trendier ones don’t have a zip up. I need a zipper on my small bags because otherwise my stuff will just fall out. I do like this bag I found on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Normia-Rita-Handbags-Crossbody-Shoulder/dp/B07F2B1H4V/ref=pd_sbs_309_2/147-3816047-7567841?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07F2B1H4V&pd_rd_r=bfe86209-3ab5-11e9-94c5-5bb9f7fee677&pd_rd_w=AGaZI&pd_rd_wg=5wJ8K&pf_rd_p=588939de-d3f8-42f1-a3d8-d556eae5797d&pf_rd_r=JX159BGSPS9R31PPXVQB&refRID=JX159BGSPS9R31PPXVQB and several similar ones for a little more dressier look. Nordstrom rack and TJ Maxx online are an excellent source for good quality purses if you’re looking to get something nice but at a discount

I wore a travelon purse ( https://www.amazon.com/Travelon-Anti-Theft-Signature-Compartment-Crossbody/dp/B07432KH29/ref=sr_1_31?ie=UTF8&qid=1537558636&sr=8-31&keywords=travelon+purse ) while in Athens (and 3 other cities) in May. I guess it might be obvious that it's a travel purse but I saw plenty of them around and I don't think I or anyone else with them are targeted. I certainly was all over the place in Athens - early morning, late at night and so on.

You could look into a smaller crossbody bag like this? My friend who bujos uses a bag like this and carries limited supplies in it. It took me a while to find the bag that suited my needs and I probably tried like 5 bags myself. I hope you find what you're looking for. :)

hmmmm....

This one might be good it is the right height and is a cross body bag.

I have one like this That I like but it can get really heavy if she puts a lot of stuff in it.

No problem! I looked on Ulta and several brands have some body glow that would work. Also I found sequin mermaid tights on amazon!

This is so much fun I can’t stop looking. I wish I could dress you like a doll!

Also I thought this fanny pack was cute Jelly Waist Fanny Pack- Transparent Festival Crossbody Belt Bag Vegan Purse (Clear Jelly with Peach Orange Polkadots and White Vegan Leather Removable Strap) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NGL327G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_bxoYCb2V22710

I also found this rainbow transparent bomber jacket Women Girls Holographic Rainbow Jacket Iridescent Transparent Summer Sun-Proof Coat https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HKF61GH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-AoYCbKZW0MFV

These sneakers are amazing ROXY ROSE Womens Sneaker Flats Metallic Leather Glitter Fashion Sneakers Shoes Lace Up (10 B(M) US, Hologram Pink) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DC21PF3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_TCoYCb4BAVWNT

What about this? It’s heart shaped, but it’s a lot more subdued than something with lots of bows and lace. And yes, it comes in black!

Thank you so much. I’ve been practicing for the past couple of days watching a lot of YouTube videos and neglecting my cross stitch. I’m not yet ready to tackle the bag yet, still have more practice to do. I will take your advice on the projects to work on. I am thoroughly enjoying the learning process even though there is some frustration. This is what I’m hoping to be able to make, or a reasonable facsimile: https://www.amazon.com/The-Sak-Womens-Riviera-Crossbody/dp/B07DLKHV3Y

With dresses it would look great. I still feel a purse is overkill for just a phone and wallet. Perhaps just a tiny single slot phone purse.
