Going Hands-Free: Why Crossbody Handbags Are Perfect For Going Out

Getting ready to head out? You’re probably going to be carrying a few things. And while we love our gorgeous tote purses and our clutches, sometimes we need to be out in the world, hands-free. A crossbody bag is a perfect choice for holding your items while keeping your hands unencumbered. And with Brahmin’s extensive collection of women's crossbody bag styles, sizes, and colors, you’ll always have one that is just right for the occasion.


What Is A Crossbody Bag?

A crossbody-style purse is one that has a long strap connected to both top corners. Knowing that stylish women come in all sizes, Brahmin’s crossbody bags come with an adjustable strap so you can fit your bag to your ideal length. 

How to Wear A Crossbody Bag 

A crossbody bag is worn by placing the strap over one shoulder. It allows your crossbody bag to hang on its own, often at the opposite hip, with the strap crossing over your chest and back. 

Why We Love Crossbody Handbags

We love our crossbody bags because they are so versatile! Brahmin’s crossbody bags come in a variety of shapes, from a classic saddlebag to a small square satchel. There are a ton of colors and textures to choose from, such as smooth Italian leather in black, or a crossbody bag made of embossed croc leather in an exotic print. 

Brahmin's crossbody collection of bags come in many sizes from medium to mini. A standard size crossbody, which can sit comfortably at your hip without feeling too oversized or bogged down, is a perfect choice for daytime errands or a midday excursion. Or choose a mini crossbody for a night on the town or for a special occasion.  

Additionally, Brahmin’s crossbody bags have plenty of interior pockets and other functional features that help keep you organized, no matter which size you choose.

Best Places to Wear a Crossbody Bag

Whether you're at a day, evening, or special event, there’s a crossbody bag design that ensures you will always arrive in style. 


For A Day Outing

A pebbled leather classic saddle purse is a cute crossbody bag for running day errands or enjoying a midday lunch date. One in a bold shade of red adds pop to your casual chic day look.


For A Night With The Gals

Think of your mini crossbody as the perfect going-out bag! You’ll hardly feel it’s there, so you can dance, sip on a large Margarita, or enjoy a night of skeeball while sharing some serious girl power laughs. Try one in a colorful and bold print to make a big statement. 


For A Formal Affair

Can your evening bag be crossbody style? Of course! Brahmin’s pouchette with Swarovski closure can be worn as a clutch, or with its removable strap slung across your black-tie attire.

To wrap things up (or to keep them hanging!), when you wear a crossbody bag, it becomes an easy and stylish way to carry all your essentials while keeping your hands free.
