5 Best Designer Crossbody Bags To Invest In. It’s no secret- designer bags cost a lot of money. So it’s important that you “invest” in one (or two or three 😉 ) that you will LOVE and WEAR FOREVER. Or at least for a few years. The great thing about designer bags is that if you decide you no longer want it they are easy to sell and you can use that money towards a new one! Basically that’s how your addiction starts 😂
Crossbody bags have been popular for awhile now. They are extremely functional so it makes sense to invest in a designer version. Let’s be real- those amazon fashion ones aren’t going to last. I’d rather save my money and buy one really nice bag than a bunch of fast fashion ones. I’m guessing you feel the same!
So let’s break down which ones I’m currently obsessing over. If you are new to my blog these are all my handbags and actual photos of me wearing them. I’m talking about the bags I love and wear and sharing all of my REAL outfits with you!
Best Designer Crossbody Bag: Louis Vuitton Coussin PM
ALL OUTFIT DETAILS LINKED HERE
The Coussin PM is the hot new bag from Louis Vuitton. I’m excited LV started making lambskin bags and they are so lush and soft. The colors are VIBRANT and just everything I want in a designer bag.
What I love about it: Versatility. You can wear it crossbody or take off the chunky chain and just use the gold chain. Great transition fro day to night. I love the lambskin leather. This bag is expensive but they are delivering exceptional quality with supple, dreamy leather.
Here Are The Cons: It’s a little bulky as a crossbody (I have the smaller size PM). The price!
Where To Buy: Louis Vuitton. If you want to get this bag discounted I suggest buying pre-owned. I purchased mine pre-owned because the color I bought was limited edition. This is the BEST store for pre-owned designer bags that’s always authentic.
How To Style: I love this outfit with this bag and I also have this super cute look that I styled with the LV coussin.
Best Designer Crossbody Bag: Prada Re-edition 2005
The Prada Re-edition 2005 takes vintage and modern and merges the two together. I opted for the leather version but they do make a nylon one.
What I love about it: Like the Louis Vuitton Coussin this bag is also versatile. You can remove the chunky crossbody strap and have an entirely different bag. The small gold chain makes it the perfect bag for night. I love the color that I picked up because it’s classic and matches all my outfits!
Here Are The Cons: Honestly, nothing. There is not one thing that is a drawback of this bag.
Where To Buy: Shop here for new. Shop here for pre-owned.
Best Designer Crossbody Bag: Louis Vuitton Bumbag
The Louis Vuitton bumbag is my all time favorite! It’s so comfortable and hands free.
What I love about it: The style and function. While other crossbody bags are handsfree they kind of hit your hips or waist as you walk. The way the bumbag sits on your chest is just so comfortable and makes me feel even more hands free.
Here Are The Cons: Personally, this bag is perfection to me. However, a con for some people is they think it’s ugly (to each their own). No complaints with functionality from me.
Where To Buy: The bumbag has been discontinued. However, you can find it pre-owned here and here. Shopping pre-owned is a GREAT way to find limited edition items as well as save money.
Best Designer Crossbody Bag: Saint Laurent Sunset
The Saint Laurent sunset bag is a great crossbody option. It’s really classic and the type of bag that will look relevant 20 years from now.
What I love about it: The classic shape. If you are fearful of buying trendy bags and like to stick to classics this a great option for you! Saint Laurent is also a better price point compared to other luxury designers.
Here Are The Cons: It’s a heavy bag. Not so heavy that it hurts to carry but it’s not as light as the Prada re-edition. It also doesn’t fit a ton because the way they designed the compartments inside.
Best Designer Crossbody Bag: Bottega Veneta Cassette (Chain or No Chain)
Bottega Veneta cassette with the gold chain is so extra and so gorgeous.
What I love about it: Versatility. You can wear it crossbody or take off the chunky chain and just use the gold chain. Great transition fro day to night. I love the lambskin leather. This bag is expensive but they are delivering exceptional quality with supple, dreamy leather.
Here Are The Cons: It’s HEAVY! The heaviest bag I own. A better option if you don’t like heavy bags is the one without the chain. It’s a little more simple /classic. The chain is more flashy. They also have a mini size that’s more affordable.
Where To Buy: It’s available at my favorite store! However, I bought mine pre-owned here because I didn’t want to pay full price!
