Finding the Right Crossbody-bags-messenger-bags for You

Stylish and practical, vintage and designer crossbody bags and messenger bags are ideal for all occasions, from lunch dates to errands to sunny afternoons in the park to formal affairs.

Messenger bags are a fashion staple. A shoulder bag that’s designed to be durable and lightweight, messenger bags offer comfort and convenience when carrying heavy items, and while their functionality is comparable to that of standard backpacks, you don’t have to take your bag off to get into its compartments and various zippered pockets. This is a sophisticated accessory — it sits flat against your body and provides easy access to your belongings at all times.

Our love for vintage handbags and purses goes back a long time. For as long as we’ve needed to carry around personal items to and from our homes, handbags of some fashion have been in our lives. Bag design evolved notably during the later Middle Ages to meet the needs of increasingly prosperous, sophisticated and diverse societies. As craftspeople grew in skill, and the choice of materials and dyes increased, the bags’ exteriors were embellished to please the eye and signify status. In our modern era, there is a vast range of iconic handbags and other bags to choose from.

Crossbody bags, which were designed to be worn on one side of the body so that the long strap is looped over the opposite shoulder, have been popular and versatile accessories over time, thankfully improving upon the medieval-era crude leather and silk coin purses that Europeans fastened to their belts as well as the drawstring pouches of the Renaissance, which held money as often as they did flowers and spices. These bags — as well as the stylish messenger bags that have materialized during the 20th century — weren’t bound by gender when they first appeared, and they certainly aren’t today.

For an alluring alternative to a satchel or backpack, luxury houses and various legendary brands such as Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and others offer a wide range of crossbody bags and messenger bags for the discerning bag enthusiast. Find these bags in all shapes and sizes on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 23, 2024
    Genuine leather handbags are bags made from materials derived from animal hides. Calfskin and cow leathers are the most common, but you can also find handbags fashioned out of other types of leather, like goat, lamb, ostrich and crocodile. Bags also differ in terms of the types of leather they feature. Full-grain leather is unsanded, untreated leather that comes from the outermost portion of the hide, while top-grain leather is leather from the top of the hide that has been sanded and buffed to make it smoother. Explore a wide range of leather handbags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    The toughest leather bag is generally one made out of full-grain leather. Taken from the outermost portion of the grain and not sanded or buffed, full-grain leather is a strong, durable material that still has a supple feel and an attractive appearance. Bear in mind that craftsmanship also affects how tough a bag is, so the durability of full-grain leather pieces can vary. On 1stDibs, shop a wide variety of leather bags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 12, 2023

The finest grade of leather, full-grain, can last for decades when cared for properly. Explore a large collection of leather bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 4, 2023
    Yes, leather bags are worth it, according to many experts. Overall, leather is attractive and can hold up to the effects of daily use. As a result, it is one of the most commonly used and beloved materials for handbags. The highest quality available, full-grain leather, can last for decades when properly cared for and stored. Therefore, you can maximize your return on your investment and use the same bag for years to come. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of leather bags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023

To help a bag stand the test of time, follow the care instructions provided by the manufacturer. Shop a large selection of leather bags on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Full-grain leather bags are typically the most durable. Full-grain leather comes from the outermost layer of the hide and does not undergo buffing or sanding. As a result, the material is strong but has a supple feel. Keep in mind that manufacturing techniques also affect durability. Handmade bags created in accordance with strict quality controls are likely to last the longest. Find a wide variety of leather bags on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023

On 1stDibs, explore a variety of leather bags.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Yes, leather bags typically get softer over time. The softening process occurs as moisture from the air slowly gets absorbed into the leather. Although bags will become more flexible and softer to the touch with age, they will still retain their durability when cared for and stored properly. Follow the maintenance and storage instructions included with your bag for the best results. On 1stDibs, shop a large collection of leather bags.
