I’d like to raise my glass for a toast- my last baby is potty trained!! Yes, I’ve reached that hallowed ground beyond the land of the diaper bag. Of course, I’m still not quite past “Mommy- do you have a snack?”, “I have a bloody nose- do you have a tissue?”, or “I’m bored- do you have any crayons? Legos?? A Dolly???”
Enter- the crossbody bag. So functional, you can easily carry them on one side, and a child on the other hip. Plus you can pack them full of stuff and still look chic! Here’s a list of some of my favorites- in Luxe and Lookalike versions.
Luxe- Hermes Evelyne Bag – $ Dont even ask. . . 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
I can’t even tell you how much I love this bag! It’s just the right size, goes with everything, and the leather is getting even better looking as I wear it and it gains character. Mine is in brown, but it’s offered in a rainbow of colors. I also love this red one!

Lookalike – Tara Whipstitched Faux Leather Clutch by Sole Society – $49.95
Check out the Dalmatian interior lining of this one! Such a fun detail on this vegan leather crossbody. I’ve seen this brand all over insta lately- they’ve got tons of fun things at great price points!

Luxe – Chloe Marcie Medium Crossbody – $1490
Attention husbands- this is at the top of the “want” list right now! I love the brass hardware and horseshoe details. The grey color is perfect for summer, but easily works all the way into winter.

Lookalike – Yoome Crossbody bag – $45.99
It’s not quite as nuanced as the Chloe bag, but this dupe looks super cute; and the price is right! I may pick up a grey one while I wait for the handbag fairies to bring the real thing. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074V3HVWH/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?pd_rd_i=B0799FK32Y&pd_rd_wg=e1QdW&pd_rd_r=WY9XXK48SQM3R957C8DD&pd_rd_w=oJwDg&th=1
Luxe – Saint Laurent Kate Crossbody – $2450
Maybe the Texas is starting to show, but I love this tooled leather crossbody! It’s a fun change from plain leather bags- enough to make it different, but not so much that you can’t wear it more than a few days at once. And is this the perfect back to bring to a concert or what??
Lookalike – Michael Kors Ginny Crossbody- $99
This doesn’t exactly count as a lookalike, but I still think it’s fun! It’s another fun update on the plain crossbody bag. https://www.michaelkors.com/ginny-crocodile-embossed-leather-crossbody/_/R-US_32F7GGNM2E
What’s in your crossbody???
Happy shopping!!
