admin At Who What Wear UK, we’re specialists in spotting trends long before they happen, so if the number of editors in the office sporting the same COS crossbody bag last year taught us anything, it was that the leather crossbody bag is a new cult classic. All of the hallmarks are there—the practicality (your hands are free to juggle a myriad of tasks), the price point (you can find quality leather crossbody bags starting from around £80, so you don’t need to spend three figures), and of course, the look (the leather crossbody is a minimalist’s dream, and there’s no better bag for every outfit than the sleek sling style).
Flash forward to 2023 and the COS crossbody is still a top seller, but so too is The Row’s Banana bag, Loewe’s Gate bag and Lemaire’s Croissant—a clear sign that the days of lugging around a heavy tote are well and truly over.
