The Newest Styles of Crossbody Bags to Have

Sunday, February 13, 2011 • by Rose

Shopbop.com’s newest styles of crossbody bags are gorgeous and trendy. They range from the classic to the uniquely modern. I’m actually coveting a number of them. Take a look for you might just find something that will strike your fancy. Or perhaps, just like me, you’d find them all utterly irresistible.

My favorite among the lot is this Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Caine Army Tote:

It looks really fabulous. The combination of the luxe-looking faded canvas material and brown leather is a genius—perfect! The cutouts at the drawstring top and buckled straps at the snap-flap front pockets add a stylish edge. Plus, the size is just right—roomy enough for all your essentials, yet easy enough to sling across the body or just tote along.

My second pick is this Alternative The Scout Messenger Bag:

I’m envisioning it adding oomph to your everyday style. I love the rectangular shape and its sleek lines that make it classically elegant. The canvas and leather combo looks polished, too. It’s one messenger bag that will take you anywhere and will last for a long time.

Last, but definitely not the least, is this functional bag from Tory Burch—the Tory Burch Tierney Messenger:

It’s classically great looking, and looks really utilitarian to boot with its good size and many compartments. The olive nylon material and leather trim is a great combo that is currently on-trend.
