Best Designer Crossbody Bags to Invest In

Celine Nano Luggage Bag black outfit street style

Crossbody bags are probably my favourite style of bags to use. Being hands-free makes them so practical and easy. Whilst there’s definitely some more evening appropriate luxury crossbody bags below, there are also some styes that have enough room to fit all your essentials for a day out too.

A designer bag is a big investment, and it’s one that you’ll want to make sure you can actually get the use out of. If you’re in the market for your next (or first!) designer crossbody bag purchase, I’ve rounded up some of the best designer crossbody bags to invest in below that I can definitely recommend!

I’ve also done a few reviews and #wimb on some of these bags over on my Instagram Stories under my Bag highlights so be sure to check them out for a good idea of how much some of these bags can hold.

 

It’s important to note that storing your designer bags properly will help keep them in their best condition for longer, and help prevent them from losing their shape over time. Make sure you check out our post on How to Store Designer Bags.

Best Designer Crossbody Bags

 

Celine Nano Luggage Bag black outfit street style

Celine Nano Luggage Bag

Let’s start with one of the best luxury crossbody bags and my personal favourite, the Celine Nano Luggage. I love this bag because even though it’s a mini bag, it fits so much! It can definitely carry all my day to day essentials so it’s a great everyday bag. I talk about it in my post on the Best Designer Bags to Invest In.

Even though this Celine luggage crossbody bag is the biggest bag in this list, it’s definitely still comfortable to wear as a crossbody bag (but also looks super cute carried by the handle). I have a Reel video on what fits inside the Nano size here.

 

 

Saint Laurent Wallet on Chain Bag Outfit Street Style

Saint Laurent Wallet on Chain Bag

My next favourite, and also one of my first designer purchases, would have to be the Saint Lauren Wallet on Chain. I have a full review post of the YSL WOC here. What I love about it is that it can definitely be an evening bag as well as a daytime bag, and the chain detaches so you have the option of using it as a clutch for those more formal events. It’s one of the Best Designer Bags Under $2,000 to Invest In!

The leather is also very durable and can easily be wiped clean if it does get dirty. I’ve had mine for years and it still looks almost as good as new – it’s a piece that will definitely last you for a long time (like a good luxury crossbody bag should)! I have a IG Reel on what fits inside the YSL Chain Wallet here.

 
Chloe Drew Mini Bag Outfit Street Style

Chloe Drew Mini Bag

The Chloe Drew bag is such a great designer mini crossbody bag for the day time, and they now come in so many different finishes and styles. The leather is a bit softer so I wouldn’t say it’s as durable as the Saint Laurent bag mentioned above, but I think it’s such a classic style that’s easy to pair with a lot of outfits.

Because the leather is softer, it is a bit easier to pack it full with all your essentials than some of the other bags that have s leather finishes and can be stiffer. I go through exactly what can fit inside this Chloe Drew bag over on my Instagram ‘Bag’ story highlights.

 

Prada Cahier Bag Black Outfit Street style

Prada Cahier Bag

This is one of my favourite ever black designer bags right now – I just love the hardware and edginess of it so much! Although it’s a bit bulkier, it can still definitely be worn cross body. If the look is a bit bulky for you, I’ve linked some of the smaller sizes below too. To see exactly what can fit inside the Prada Cahier bag, head to my Instagram and check out my ‘Bag’ story highlights.

 

Gucci Dionysus Mini Chain Bag

Gucci Dionysus Mini Chain Bag

The Dionysus is a style from Gucci I still really love! If you’re into the slightly edgy hardware definitely check this bag out. The Dionysus has amazing hardware and comes in a great size range, so there’s a size that will suit every outfit, from evening wear through to those days in the office.

This one is my newest Gucci purchase and I have an unboxing of it over on my Instagram TV. This is definitely a bag for those times where you don’t need to carry much with you though as it doesn’t fit a whole lot. I go through what can fit inside over on my  Instagram TVIt’s definitely up there on my list of the best crossbody designer bags.

 

Saint Laurent Kate Bag Outfit

Saint Laurent Kate Bag

Another great little Saint Laurent bag, this one is larger and fits a bit more than the Wallet on Chain, but can still definitely be worn cross body, along with on the shoulder. The leather is also really durable and it’s a bag that really does go with anything, day or night! One of the most classic designer crossbody bags. I have a full review post on the YSL Kate Bag, which covers everything from sizes, prices, and different leathers and hardware options.

 

Chanel Wallet on Chain Bag Outfit

Chanel Wallet on Chain Bag

Such a classic piece, Chanel bags are great investment pieces as their prices on classic styles should only go up! The Chanel Wallet on Chain, widely considered one of the top designer crossbody bags, is a great little bag for when you’re out and about and not needing to carry much. It’s one of the best Chanel bags to invest in. To see exactly what can fit inside head to my Instagram and check out my ‘Bag’ story highlights. 

I would personally go with the caviar leather over the lambskin for both of these bags as it’s so much more durable. Chanel bags can definitely be expensive so look out for some pre owned styles that are in a good condition. I’ve linked some below!

 

I hope this post on the best designer cross body bags helped you choose the next bag to add to your Wishlist/ shopping cart!

    Love your choices and your bags, Natalie.
    I have the Dionysus in canvas and as I wrote on your IG, I almost never use it, such a shame. Unfortunately the canvas just limits its use imo and I just do t reach out for it. On the other side, I’ve used my black Gucci Disco almost to death and this was my absolute best crossbody bag purchase ever. Recently I tried the Céline belt bag in nano size and I think it looked great. I just have to find a new home for that Dionysus baby to justify a purchase :)

      I think the canvas is a bit harder to pair with outfits, but black goes with everything! The disco bad is such a great size too! You should definitely sell off your Dionysus and grab the belt bag, Celine bags are so beautiful!! Xx

    The Chloé Drew is defintiley a favorite and staple of mine in my wardrobe. It love it’s versitility: it can either be worn casually or more dressier, and when spending so much on a bag you want to be able to wear it a lot. The Celine bag also is beautiful and one I have loved for some time. A bag which is a bit of a trend bag I guess but also a timeless one is the Dior Saddle bag. I love how the shape is unique but again, also it’s versitility because it comes in so many prints and colours. There’s something for everyone.

      The Chloe Drew is such a great bag! I feel like the Dior saddle bag is definitely more of a trend piece but I do love the unique shape and the leather versions! Xx
