One of the things we love most about handbags is how versatile they are. Your bag can act as a complement to your look or make a statement, it can carry just the essentials or everything you’ll ever need. Each bag serves a unique purpose for everyone—so the question is, which style is right for you?


Let’s talk about shoulder bags.

Shoulder bags are always in style, and they can hold quite a bit inside. In many cases, shoulder bags may ALSO be worn as crossbody style, adding extra convenience to a look. So the biggest question is—how should you wear yours.


You’ll want to go with a crossbody because…

  • Versatility, versatility, versatility! A crossbody is the ultimate multi-tasker’s bag—you can take it from the office to happy hour with friends seamlessly.
  • Ready to take on the world? A crossbody bag has your back (or rather, your side). No more slipping bags or awkwardly readjusting your purse on the go.
  • Tired of digging through a bottomless pit of a bag? A crossbody bag keeps your essentials within easy reach.

Stick with a shoulder bag style if you want to…

  • Elevate your everyday style. Whether you're running errands or attending a fancy event, a shoulder bag adds a touch of sophistication to any outfit, making you look and feel like a million bucks.
  • Let your outfit take center stage. A shoulder bag is the perfect complement to any outfit, letting your favorite clothes and accessories do all the talking.
  • Show off your figure. A well-chosen shoulder bag sits neatly under your arm, accentuating your curves and giving you that effortlessly chic look.
