If there’s one thing I notice don the runway of the fall show, from New York, London, Milan and Paris, I saw the appearance of bags with cross body straps. Whether it’s a top handle with extra cross body straps, slouchy or structured and even a bag so small that can only fit your coins

I like the idea of a bag with cross body straps because it’s functional and when you have so much stuff with you, it’s just really easy to deal with. But I like the idea of having an extra strap with my top handle bag. So I can have the best of both worlds. And there’s this aura of effortlessly chic about having a bag slung across your body.

Don’t want to splurge? How about turning your eyes to the high street brands? Most of them already got these kind of bags in store.
