Cross body bag

[smilie]

Hey ladies, do you use a cross body bag on trips? I'm looking for one that will be comfortable, roomy for travel but not too bulky that I won't want to carry it around all day.

I use a Vera Bradley mini hipster. It is also my every day purse.

I buy bagallini for trips! Mine are small though - just big enough to hold phone and a few other things.

They do have larger sizes.

I like them because they are waterproof and they have fun patterns/colors. It's not something I would use for everyday, but for touring parks they are great.

I have a few different Kipling cross body bags. I really like them.

I use the Vera Bradley little hipster. It's a different shape than the mini and I can separate items.

I have a LUG cross body and LOVE IT.

 

[SharonZ]

I second the suggestion for a LUG crossbody.

I have a Kipling with 2 bigger zippered compartments, then there is 3 smaller areas to hold a few things, I love it.
I was using a backpack and it was bothering my shoulder blades.

I use the Bagalinni type bag because I can get it at TJ Maxx or Marshall's for about half of what they sell for online. Generally they just come in black or blue though, from there. I like them because they are lightweight, waterproof, and come in different sizes.

Vera Bradley stuff is also comfortable. The only exception was when I bought a mini backpack from Vera Bradley. The straps were not comfortable and gave me skin abrasions on my shoulders. So I stick with a cross body.

They usually have a good sale on some of the discontinued colors/patterns on their website if you are ever interested!

This is the purse that I used for traveling throughout Europe. I loved it! There's an interior zippered pocket, plus an interior wall pocket, and under the front decorative flap a hidden zipper pocket. It's roomy and lightweight. The downside is that the straps do not shorten. I carried 6 passports, my wallet, Kindle, fruit snacks, a water bottle, camera, and random items inside it. Occasionally crumpled up my raincoat and shoved it inside too. I've considered buying it in other colors I like it that much.

I carry Dooney & Bourke crossbody bags. Plus they come in fun Disney patterns!

I have a Sherpani Jag LE that I use as my daily purse and Disneyland bag (I go to DL every week). It's perfect. It can fit my 20oz insulated water bottle and still zip up.

I have one of these I use for airline travel and parks. I love it. The organization makes everything easily accessible. It's very lightweight, but just big enough that you could carry a lightweight jacket or sweater.

I use a wristlet made to my specifications from this company in Philly:

https://urbanartisanboutique.com/ It serves for any type of trip as well as at home. No need to pack an evening purse either.

I love my LeSportsac bags

This! I have the Quinn bag (not this pattern) and it's the perfect size. Plus I love all the pockets.

 

[smilie]

Love all the suggestions!! Now to narrow it down lol. I'm not sure how big I want to go, I don't need to carry a lot but I'd like to at least have enough room to bring a water bottle with me as well.

 

[mrsstats]

Lug for me. I buy on QVC

I have one of these: https://www.ebags.com/product/trave...crossbody-exclusive/323907?productid=10676405
Not huge but I can fit my tablet , headphones, an ereader and a bottle of water in it eliminating the need for a carry on bag when I fly short haul and with most of the things I need in a carry on longer haul but not uncomfortable to carry all day
