Happy 4th of July everyone!

From us here at Cross Body Purses, here’s a patriotic collection of 7 red, white and blue cross body bags to help get in the spirit of independence:

DadGear Americana Satchel, $115.70. Can you believe this is a diaper bag for dads?!?

Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Medium 122, $89.95. A classic bag from a trusted brand.

Littlearth MVP Jersey Tote Bag/Columbus Blue Jackets, $28.00 (was $35.00). There are plenty more of these with other teams on it.

Littlearth NHL Capitols Petite Purse, $30.40 (was $38.00). Show your team spirit with this bag!

Roxy Limited Edition Arena Rock Crossbody, $55.80 (was $62.00). My personal favorite out of the bunch – the white is nice but the black might be easier to wear.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Spot, $158.00. Why isn’t Marc Jacobs making more stuff with this adorable print?

Vera Bradley Rosie Posie Hipster, $44.00. Check out this bag’s other colors – Vera Bradley prints are amazing!

In case you didn’t know, May 4 is unofficially declared as Star Wars day. I know, I know, I’m a week too late, but these promo ads for Disney’s Star Wars Weekends didn’t come out until yesterday. So for cross body bags and Star Wars fans out there, here’s a blog post you’d enjoy.

Chewbacca wears a cross body bag too! The beloved Wookie was spotted with our favorite bag style and here’s a picture to prove it:

It looks like Chewie prefers the classic brown leather satchel as well. I gotta say, Chewbacca would have great fashion sense if he wore clothes because I’m all for classic brown leather satchels too.

I wonder if Chewbacca would like these other brown leather messenger bags?:

Fossil – Men’s Jackson N/S Messenger w/ Laptop, $168.00

David King & Co. East/West 1/2 Flap Messenger, $86.40 (was $96.00)

Amerileather Classical Leather Organizer Briefcase, $104.99

Chewie probably won’t care about the multi-pocket organization feature and the built-in laptop compartment on these. But maybe just a bit of beating up and adding extra pockets on the strap would do the trick!
