Everyone, including you, needs a crossbody bag and preferably one that isn’t too big, which makes it perfect for running errands and throwing in a suitcase for vacation. In case you didn’t know, crossbody bags are borderline an essential vacation bag, because you won’t have to worry about lugging around a big tote that screams “I’M A TOURIST! SO, I PROBABLY HAVE ALL MY MONEY AND ESSENTIALS IN THIS BAG. WAIT FOR ME TO LEAVE IT A BAR AND MAKE YOUR MOVE TO RUIN MY VACATION AND POSSIBLY MY LIFE!” Okay, maybe that was a little harsh and my personal paranoia coming on pretty strong. Hey, but it happens all the time.

So, when I go on vacation, I tend to bring a crossbody bag, since you can just sling the bag and across your body, hence the name, and keep it right in front of me. It’s definitely a chicer substitute for the fanny pack, in my opinion.

Now, will you please focus your attention to this perfect and simple leather crossbody bags by Madewell, who makes some of the best leather bags, FYI. I have a few Madewell bags that get better with time and still give me compliments. Classic leather always wins admiration from others.

Back to this mini Glasgow from Madewell. What I love most about these bags are quite roomy and could hold quite a bit, but too large to take up much space in a suitcase.

Depending on your daily lifestyle, it might even make a great everyday bag option.

Yeah, we should definitely look into getting one of these bags. It’s available in black and slate gray. I fancy both. Since they’re under $150, getting both is very reasonable. Don’t you agree?
