There are many things that make you go mmmmmm … and black tote bags are one of them. If they’re not then you’re either impervious to the wonders of a gorgeous black purse or your fashion sense needs an overhaul.
A black tote is like the LBD – the little black dress. They go with anything, can be used for anything and they’re as reliable as the passing of time. It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing, what you need one for, the simple fact is that every woman should own at least one.
There are many styles and designs to choose from, leather, canvas, nylon and more but our money is on leather totes. If you’ve got a few extra bucks to spend and you want a timeless classic that will stand the test of time, then leather is your best choice.
Not that we’re going to showcase leather purses alone, there are far too many black bags that make us go mmmmm to consider limiting ourselves to leather alone. However we will be showing off the best selling black leather tote, as well as a couple of other deliciously dark and alluring tote bags.
London Office Black Tote Bag
One of the best looking black tote bags comes from Nvie Designs. This leather trimmed tote is ultra stylish and elegant all day long. It manages to look like a designer purse without having the designer price tag.
The interior consists of three spacious compartments, which allows for lots of room to hold your smaller personal items, as well as a folder or two, a wallet and more. The handles are long enough to make this a tote you can throw on your shoulder and the decorative finish includes a small padlock and metal hardware.
It’s chic, it’s gorgeous and it’s black. Everything it needs to be and it’s highly versatile – work, lunch or a wander around the mall, this bag will look good whatever you use it for.
Targus TLT004 Ladies Delux Tote
The TLT004 black tote bag by Targus is in fact a rather classy laptop shoulder bag but it’s made our recommendation list because of the color, the look and the fact that it’s more than just a work bag.
Remove your laptop and you’ve got a stylish over-sized shopping tote, or a large organizer tote. Its roomy interior, whilst large enough to safely contain a 15.4 laptop, will happily take care of files, folders, books and anything related to your day at work. There’s space for your cell phone, wallet and there’s even a clip for your key-chain.
It’s a well designed bag, lots of obvious quality and thought gone into its manufacture, plus there’s a compact matching mini-purse that’s great for makeup, credit cards or small stationary items. Lined, secure, functional yet smart and elegant, a definite winner from a trusted brand name.

Coach Embossed Signature Patent Leather East West Gallery Black Tote Bag
If ever a bag really made us go mmmmmm (several times!) it was this one, a gorgeous patent leather black tote bag by Coach. The leather is stunning, embossed and lends to the natural classic design and clean lines that we love to see in any black tote bag.
It’s a great shoulder bag, beautifully lined, lots of attractive detailing, pockets and a zippered top closing. It will hold up to rain and inclement weather, and everything about it screams quality.
Designer handbags should be a part of what makes you look a million dollars and this one has that appeal by the bucket load. Coach never leave anything to chance and the overall feel and quality of this black leather tote bag is stunningly good. Pure class.

The best looking college backpack is about as important as getting the best grades, which is why we love JanSport backpacks. They’re highly functional, extremely trendy and will probably last longer than the average college romance.
Known for being more reliable than a college jock, this is the bag to be seen with. They’re a durable brand, well known and instantly recognizable, even if you buy a dull as ditch water brown one (which you won’t be, our job is to help you to navigate the fashionable high seas, not drown you in a storm drain!).
Generally they’re a sought after college backpack, as are the Jansport messenger bags and totes. Whatever this company designs and makes, they make it well, and they definitely have the flare and expertise to work with what all college kids need.
You need a bag that will walk the walk, right through as many semesters as you need it to and it needs to be as hardworking as you’re going to be – right?!
Our current favorites are hot selling backpacks plus they’re highly user friendly. Plenty of features and function, lots of space and pockets to store the important stuff … iPods, cell phones and a chapstick or two.
JanSport Classic SuperBreak Backpack
This is one of JanSport’s best sellers. It’s a bag for just about anyone, in that it’s neither too large nor too small. It’s plenty big enough for the average college day’s workload, plus it’s useful for the weekend breaks many college students like to take.
The material is a 600 denier polyester with a large interior pocket and a smaller zippered pocket situated on the front. If you want something a little different there’s a huge range of alternative prints, so there’s one to suit all tastes.
The straps are comfortable and the back has a panel that’s padded over 2/3 of the total back area. This is one for those looking for a college bag that’s spacious, functional and designed to last.

JanSport Super G - Radical Rose Classics Series Daypack
This JanSport backpack features a gorgeous screen print graphic that’s eye-catching and super girly. The front print features a two-tone floral print over blue and white and the back panel, which is padded for extra comfort, features a stunning cerise and pink rose with contrasting white edging.
The straps and lining use the same vibrant pinks and the front pocket features a range of pockets for pens, a cell phone and so on. It’s compact enough to be classed as a bookbag yet roomy enough to manage college books, files and folders and there’s still room left over for a bag lunch.
It looks great, it’s full of function and the overall manufacture is definitely one of quality. Forget good looking college boyfriends … JanSport backpack wrote the rule book when it comes to good looks.
JanSport Half Pint Classic Daypack
If you want or need a JanSport bag that’s small yet perfectly formed, then one of JanSport mini backpacks will do the trick. The Half Pint is a great looking college bag, small and neat, lots of cool prints and colors to choose from and more than suitable for a lightweight college day.
The design is similar to that of their larger bags, one large interior pocket and a zippered external pocket. They’re big enough for a few books, stationary and a cell phone and/or other handheld gadget, plus they look good too.
They’re a big favorite for a day out, a trip to the mall or as a backpack for younger children due to their size and along with the comfortable straps, quality manufacture and usability they’re a recommended choice for those looking for a mini college bag.

Ju Ju Be Be Tween Diaper Bag
The Be Tween diaper bag was designed around the need for a bag that was a little larger than usual yet not so large that it became overly cumbersome. Think of this one as you would a chocolate bar that’s between a 1.2 oz and 3.2 oz – sometimes the small ones aren’t enough, the bigger ones a step too far.
Looking as good as this one does it’s easy to see why it’s irresistible to moms everywhere. The print is striking and, in the event you want more choice you can choose from among 18 other colors and designs. The same hardware rules apply, everything’s manufactured to last, adjustable strap, comfortable shoulder padding and there’s a pocket for just about everything.
Gorgeous, not really something you want to eat but the point is it looks good enough to do so. Lots of features, plenty of function, highly recommended.

As there are many reasons to buy over the shoulder bags, I thought I’d share a few that would prompt anyone that’s considering whether they should or shouldn’t buy one to stop considering and instead – just buy one.
I like to think of myself as meaningful, helpful even and in case you’re on the cusp and have only managed to drum up a couple of reasons not to buy one, i.e. the usual suspects:
- I don’t know, how many totes does one woman need?
Or
- Maybe I should just wait a bit longer?
… then I think it’s time I helped tip the scales in favor of you wandering around looking like you’ve got the best arm candy since the Rolex was invented.
10 Reasons To Buy Yourself A Hot And Sassy Shoulder Bag
Here they are, the top 10 reasons as to why you should stop all that meaningless pondering:
- You know you want it
- You totally deserve it. You work hard, play harder and anyway … where else are you going to store your keys, coin purse and cell phone? Jeans pockets? Please! Stuffing your pockets until they look like too much sausage stuffed into too little skin is soooo … masculine!
- You lost weight. Reward time
- You didn’t lose weight. Self-commiseration gift
- You’re going to lose weight. Need something to get motivated
- You won’t find it cheaper. You already tried
- You won’t find one better. You already looked
And here are three more great reasons:
Sherpani Milli Shoulder Bag
The Sherpani over the shoulder bag has everything this style of bag should have; it’s pretty, it’s functional and it’s so damn hot! It’s full of neat pockets, spacious and did I mention how cute they are?
Spring is almost upon us and the color and design are perfect for lazy sunshine days. There’s a place for everything – keys, loose change, cell phone, checkbook and more. It’s well made, the straps are comfortable and adjustable, the hardware is durable and the floral lining is a beautiful contrast to the lime green exterior.
Not a bag for those that want something muted and understated, this particular shoulder bag shouts fun, fresh and funky. It also comes with free shipping, which allows you to correctly assume that it's definite steal of a deal. Gorgeous bag - reason #8
Large Shopper XL Tote Bag Reisenthel Germany
This little beauty is far from diminutive – it’s a wonderful, oversized shopper, with sturdy handles that are just big enough to keep it nice and snug when it’s worn over the shoulder.
The floral print is incredibly chic, giving it an ultra-stylish edge and the fact that it’s so spacious makes this one of those over the shoulder tote bags that you never leave at home. Why would you? It’s a shopper; the very name denotes its purpose. You buy it and then go shopping with it.
Whether or not you place groceries inside it or a great pair of summer wedges is entirely your call but, you know … at least you’ll have plenty of room to stash your purchases! It’s a European manufacture and design, very ‘now’, and its size and shape will lend it to a variety of uses. Need any more help? It’s available in 3 other designs - reason #9
Baggallini Wallet Bagg, Large
Size isn’t everything and, as over the shoulder bags go, this one is a real diamond. It’s not the biggest of shoulder bags on the market but it’s definitely a winner. It’s the kind of bag that organizes you as it’s full of zippered interior and exterior pockets. There are a couple of open inner slots, as well as an adjustable strap and some stylish detailing and hardware.
It’s available in a wide range of colors, one for every mood (or outfit) and it’s the bag for the woman on the go. Despite its size this is the bag that was designed to carry everything, even the kitchen sink, plus it looks great, whether you hang it off your shoulder or wear is like a crossbody bag. Reason #10 – it’s so damn versatile.

Let’s face it, you’re about to start college, you’re lonely, unsure of how you fit in and you hated your new room-mate on sight. Damn. Well here’s the good news: Dickies backpacks are about to become your new best friend.
Forget trying to impress the cheerleader lookalikes, forget trying to spend time fitting in with the hip, the cool and the beautiful. You’re not there to look pretty, dazzle the opposition or flunk your way through college – you’re there because you want educating.
So why not spend some money on one of the coolest and most popular college backpacks around? They’re definitely hip, cool to the core and they’re certainly beautiful to look at. And, unlike new best friends, they won’t want anything in return.
Your Dickies backpack will never ask you to help it to raise its grades because it spent far too much time flirting with the college football team. It won’t expect you to make it look good by looking less than stunning yourself.
And it will never, ever run off with your college boyfriend.
One of the best is the Dickies Backpack Black Peace Hearts. It’s large enough to handle your files and folders, and comes with an interior pocket for your iPod. Externally it has a zippered pocket on the front and the print is super trendy.
The multi-colored ‘peace sign’ hearts, printed onto a black background make it stand right out. It has an adjustable, padded strap and a carry handle located on the top of the backpack. It’s a good looking backpack all round, functional, fun and fresh.
It will provide you with all you need during college time, won’t moan if you won’t lend it your iPod and it will more than happily follow you wherever you go – so long as you remember to throw it onto your back. Great looking, practical and affordable. Most best friends are rarely more than one of the three.
If you want to make a bit of a statement, and can’t be bothered by going down the usual route, which 
includes either looking like the college slut or sporting a blue hair dye, the Dickies Basic Student Backpack In Black and White Checkered is a far better way to proclaim your arrival.
It retails at just over 20 bucks and the design is an eye-catching black and white check. It’s spacious, the interior is big enough for all the usual college crap that you’re expected to haul around campus, plus it has an external front zippered pocket, which is good for storing all that stationary you’re going to get through.
It’s manufactured from a tough nylon, so it’s up to handling the usual abuse a college backpack can expect. Unlike new best friends, it won’t wimp out every time you dump it firmly on the floor either.

Dickies - Basic Student Backpack In Black and White Checkered List Price: |
One of the coolest Dickies backpacks is the Dickies Mini Backpack Peace Check. It’s a loud and vibrant mini-backpack, full of color and
style. Being smaller than the usual size, this one’s good for the days when all you need is a couple of books, a few pens and your iPod, your blackberry and a random snack.
It’s kind of tom-boyish, and will appeal to the students that don’t do ‘girly’. It’s lightweight and tough; exactly what you don’t need from a new best friend, plus it’s always going to be more reliable. With its adjustable, padded straps and trendy Dickies logo keychain, this is exactly the type of college backpack that will make you stand out from the rest of the 'blah' crowd.
Remember – Dickies backpacks are only for college. New best friends hang around for life.

Forget anti-aging creams; forget Botox and all that other expensive nonsense, there’s a new way to fight the signs of aging … and it comes in the guise of a straw tote bag.
I enjoyed a wonderful revelation a few weeks ago and having found myself accidentally exposed to this unforeseen eye-opener, I went on to deepen my understanding of this strange new phenomena and hell girls … it works!
This is how it goes; straw totes are synonymous with vacations. Vacations are mutually exclusive with hot and sunny destinations and we all know what happens when you hit the Caribbean don’t we? The sunlight drives you to wearing huge sunglasses and floppy, wide-brimmed sun hats.
Suffice to say that I saw the light when I picked up my holiday photos, scanned through and realized how great I looked. Obviously this related to the fact that I had to spend the whole time hiding behind oversized sunglasses and wearing large sun hats but the facts speak for themselves … not a wrinkle, a crow line or laughter line to be seen. Awesome!
From that point on I’ve invested in a variety of straw beach totes, matching hats and sunglasses and I have to declare – those that know me are (now) forever telling me how great I look, how much younger and more youthful I appear. Of course 70% of my face is hidden, but that’s a small matter. So are my wrinkles.
The classiest straw handbag that fights the signs of aging is the Magid Classic Matte Shopper. It has a elegant, stylish appeal, one that appropriately matches the definition of aging gracefully, and it definitely comes in the right color – a dreamy chocolate brown.
It has a large, roomy interior, the lining material being in a complimentary shade, a magnetic fastening and a collection of three internal pockets, one being zipped, the other two are the slip type. The hardware and trimmings are equally tasteful and, when you match it with a great pair of shades and a gorgeous chocolate brown floppy sun hat, you’re good to go.
Of course a bag that looks this good allows you to remove your sunglasses in and among. It’s distracting enough to allow you to air your eyes just a little, and the moment you notice your friend/s peering a little too closely at your face, simply pop those babies right back on again.
My next recommendation is the Cappelli 478 Multi-Stripe Toyo Tote. This one is similar in size to the
previous straw tote and where it differs is the external design. The exterior is a gorgeous multi-colored candy stripe, whilst the interior of the tote, comparable in terms of size, is in a yummy tan color that contrasts with the stripes, yet perfectly compliments the tone of the tote.
The handles are in tan colored faux leather, as are the four corner pads that are stitched onto the underside of the bag. It fastens with a zipper and the interior also contains several pockets, both zipped and open. It looks fun and fresh, it’s lightweight and coordinated with some great oversized shades and a sunhat to die for, you’ll be fooling the masses into thinking you’ve dropped ten years in a heartbeat.
Of course you won’t have but that doesn’t matter. What does is the fact that you will appear to have done so. And all without a pot of Regenerist in sight.

If you’re on a budget, the best looking straw tote with bonus anti-aging properties is the 
Florida Straw Bag. It’s a heavenly little bag, nothing large or cumbersome about it and I love that the price tag is equally compact.
It has more of a rustic feel and will allow you to choose any number of sunglasses and sunhat combinations – you can even jazz it up by adding a colorful silk scarf or hanging a boho bag charm off one of the handles.
It’s fully lined, neutral in color and utterly adorable. It’s definitely more robust and will stand up to the test of time better than your skin ever will do, and once you’ve popped on your hat and sunglasses you’ll look as good as you did way back when you were a youngling. Probably.

Spread the word ladies, let the cat out of the bag ... straw totes are the new anti-aging miracle for women. Just don’t forget your sunglasses.

Finding and buying cheap designer handbags should be something to celebrate. Unfortunately many women find an awesome deal that turns from a moment of celebration into one of life-long denigration. There’s no need for you to dumb down your look (and reputation – because a bags’ more than just arm candy ladies) and end up looking like a slut. Call me blunt (via email, thanks) but sometimes women try to dress up to their new Coach handbag and the results can be catastrophic.
When it comes to grabbing a bargain tote bag, there’s no excuse for you to slip that baby on your arm and somehow manage to look like a floozy that’s on the wrong side of 40, gotten dressed in the dark and staggered out into the street looking for a good time.
No, the only way to look when you’re dripping a Louis Vuitton off your arm is as though you’ve just exited a high class salon, nails manicured within an inch of their lives and an air of total superiority.
For that reason I’m going to help to choose from some of the best discount handbags on the market. That way I’ll sleep at night because I’ll know that you’re not walking the streets with your eyes fixed on the floor, hoping to trip over someone else’s lost dollar, or worse – simpy trip up because you thought your bag would look better if matched with 6" cheap and n
asty stilettos.
My best pick of what’s on offer is the Coach Signature Stripe Swingpack Crossbody Messenger Bag Purse 42619 in Mahogany Brown. Now anyone that knows anything about Coach handbag will also know that they’re not cheap handbags full stop, so no excuses with messing this one up.
At less than $120 you’re getting a high class, top quality designer handbag that’s functional, hot and affordable. The material is waterproof with a leather trim, the hardware and fastenings are silver and totally compliment the style, plus it’s a beautiful example of what a great crossbody bag should look like.
The way to wear it is for you to match up with the blurb that goes right alongside it: less is more. You get that? Buy this bag and look like you own it, not as though you own a part share in some sleazy bar. This bag is oozing with understated style, it’s right on trend and the design is to die for.

Wear it well and you will look like a million dollars.
The second cheap designer bag that should raise your spirits, style and overall look is the Acme Made Trixy. It retails at around $70 and it’s the bag that has it all; designer tote bag appeal, highly functional and the kind of detailing that any woman on the go should look out for.
The exterior is fully waterproof and the interior has a delicious pink lining, zippered pockets and enough space to comfortably hold a 15.4 inch laptop. The hardware is up to a high standard, the pink contrasting detail is heavenly and, when it’s hung off your shoulder, it should make you look like an angel, rather than a burned out reject from Hades.
There’s an accessory pouch that you can remove in need be, the computer section is the same – leave it in the handbag or remove it. It has everything going for it and you’ve nothing to lose by purchasing it and turning it into your purse-for-all-occasions.

This is the type of bag that well pep you up and make you look fashionable and trendy, rather than dump you unceremoniously into the gutter with all the other slutty undesirables. All women’s cheap designer handbags should raise the bar, not drop it so low that even a pro-limbo dancer would struggle to crawl beneath it.
Now you know how to wear your designer bag, wear it with pride, elegance and a slightly arrogant look. That’s what designer bags are for, they’re supposed to make you look classy – not trashy!

There are few things in life that are truly guaranteed to make you lose weight. Besides not eating a single morsel whatsoever (which results in a lack of breath and a one way trip to the mortuary. Hardly slimming, more like dying) the only other option left to you is to eat a Tokidoki bag.
True. Haven’t heard of them? In the event that you haven’t, they’re a wonderfully vibrant looking bag, kind of aimed at teens and young adults but hey – I’m up for losing weight using totally irresponsible methods, what do I care whether a bag’s designed for a youthful, wrinkle-free Venus lookalike or not?
I love them, they make me feel better and damn it I’m old enough to not know better. Hence the crazy weight loss program. Oh and yeah – it works. Let me share my secret.
First of all you need to buy a Tokidoki bag. I’m featuring two; you pick whichever one suits you the best. Or if you’re really serious, buy both. There’s no shame in having a backup plan. If you fail with the first one, you’ve still got yourself another one to go at. Just call me insightful.
The first one is a versatile crossbody bag, an awesome style that appeals to both my carefree nature and my slightly organized side. It contains enough space to hold all the usual crap that we girls seem to accumulate, such as a cell ‘phone, keys and a lipstick, and yet it’s compact enough to discourage you from stuffing a bucket of fries and chicken into the main pocket. Tip One: never ever use your tote bag to stash sneaky food stashes.
It looks good, it will make you look even better and in the event of failure, the design will at least hide some of the teeth marks.
The second one is the Bella tote. Similar in terms of its design but more user friendly in terms of its overall appeal. A tote (l
ike this one) will cover many bases. Work, play and something that looks good on the outside no matter how much trash you store on the inside.
A roomy interior, robust hardware and like the crossbody bag, easy-to-adjust straps. Pockets too. Like most guys I know, I love pockets. Unlike most men I know I prefer filling the pockets of my bag with my miscellaneous crap, over and above those that are stitched into my Levis.
I’ve yet to find a man that had worked out that overstuffed jeans’ pockets do not the masculine look make. That’s nature boys. Deal with it.
So now you’ve got your hot and sassy Tokidoki bag, here’s what you need to do. Eat it. Start with the interior. As previously mentioned, if you’re going to fail abysmally in your weight loss kick, you’ll know by the time you haven’t managed (in three weeks) to eat even half the lining. This will at least leave your bag still looking good to the world at large, even if you don't.
The real secret lies in your determination. Mine has helped me chew, gnaw and generally choke my way through one and a half of these totes in the last couple of months. I believe the mystery as to how I’ve managed it is this: eating Tokidoki handbags (even unsuccessfully) fools your body by way of the effort you put in.
Trust me, trying to wrestle an interior zip off a bag as well made as these (with your teeth, no cutlery allowed) ones are is way above any form of aerobic workout that I can think of. Try it. Buy one. Eat it. Thank me later.

A coin purse is a great way to keep all your loose change from rolling around in your tote, plus it’s always easy to get your hands on it when you need it the most. There’s a wonderful variety of styles and designs on the market, from zippered coin purses, to leather ones, beaded and pretty purses and more.
They’re a versatile mini bag and can be used for more than just storing a few coins. They’re usually around the size of a credit card and can be used for keeping your favorite store card handy; equally they’re just big enough to hold a bunch of keys or a few small items of makeup.
Many women choose one based upon function, but just as many choose one much the same way as they would a standard purse … because they love the look, the style or the material. The best ones are those that cover function and yet look stylish. Who wants to pull a battered old plastic coin purse out of their gorgeous Fendi bag?!
Squeeze Coin Pouch by North Star
This leather coin purse is a big hit due to both the style and the fact that they’re 100% leather. Durable, with a squeeze opening, this cute little purse is made from high quality full grain leather and it comes in either both brown and black shades.
It’s small, only 3.5 inches wide, and will easily slip into a zippered pocket, keeping it both secure and to hand. It’s also something that will slip into a pants pocket without looking bulky, and can be used by both men and women. An inexpensive solution to keeping your change in order, and an inexpensive one at that.
Fossil Popstitch Key Coin
This coin purse comes from the well known Fossil brand name, and it a good choice for those that may already own a Fossil handbag. The same quality and attention to detail is apparent, despite the diminutive size.
Made from a gorgeous soft touch leather, it carries the Fossil logo, embellished on the front flap, and the contrasting stitching is a lovely additional touch. It’s big enough to store both coins and keys, or anything else that’s small yet important enough that you carry it with you. You can also slot I.D. into the rear of the front flap, and it’s available in 6 other shades.

New Eelskin Double Change Purse 
Womens Wallet

It’s available in 5 other colors, any one of which looks as elegant as the next one. If you love a one-size-fits-all style, opt for the black purse. If you want to add a splash of color, the red will be the perfect match, and if you’re felling positively girly, the pink purse will more than suit.

Recycled Rubber Coin Purse Wallet Case
This zippered coin purse wallet is not only a small, minimalistic design; it’s also an eco-friendly product. It’s manufactured out of recycled tire rubber and each and everyone is a little different due to the tread of the tire that it’s made from.
It’s big enough to hold the usual – coins, cards and keys, with a secure zipper that definitely gives an otherwise basic black purse a little edge. This one is gender neutral, and will look just as good in a woman’s hand as it will when being drawn from a man’s jeans pocket. Innovative, refreshingly simple, with a green eco twist.

Unless you already own one, you won't realise just how stylish and functional crossbody bags can be. They're a great alternative to a standard tote, often more spacious than the shape and size would have you believe, and full of little niches and pockets that all women love.
They're rarely at the blow-the-budget level price wise, and they're definitely not relegated to being fashionable arm candy for the young and frivolous only! They're available in a gorgeous array of colors, designs, styles and sizes, not to mention that some are cute, others are hot and some are just plain 'wow'!
You can opt for useful, functional and goes-with-anything black, or maybe you're a mom, run off her feet, needing a bag that covers several bases? If you love being organised and being able to locate your keys, loose change, cards and lipstick in a snap, there's the perfect match for you too. In fact there's a cool cross body bag for just about everyone.
Baggallini Uptown Bagg
As crossbody bags go, you don't get more compact and dedicated than the Baggallini. It's a great little tote, similar to a messenger bag and available in a range of 11 different colors. From black through to khaki, mango to steel blue, there's enough shade variations to allow you to go with the flow or let your hair down and choose something that's vibrant and sassy.They're a firm favorite as a day purse, or for those that are always on the go and need a reliable purse to help keep them moving.
There's a variety of pockets, both inside and out, with a roomy interior, as well as a spot for credit cards, keys, a cell phone and more. The strap adjusts with ease and all the fastenings/zippers are more than capable of standing up to the usual comings and goings in the life of a well-loved purse. Almost indestructible, attractive and highly functional - the bag for the girl on the go.

Large ''Ziggy'' Crossbody Bag
This is a large crossbody bag, extremely spacious and full of great little pockets, faux zippers and the potential for carrying some seriously girly luggage around. The Ziggy is available in three colors: black, red and blue and the strap is so long that you can hang it either high or low on the hip.
It's a great choice for the student, the workaholic, even the fashion conscious mommy. It's a well made bag, quality hardware, a faux leather exterior with a lovely cotton/nylon mix lining. It's a bag that you can be laid back with, due to the size, yet it's got enough compartments and pockets to still offer plenty scope for organizing your more important bits and pieces. Great looking cross body bag - gorgeous, spacious and right on-trend.
LeSportsac Shellie Cross-Body
This crossbody bags totally adorable, sassy and still highly functional. You can buy it in a range of fun and fabulous colors and designs, or choose to go for something a little more understated and elegant looking. It's definitely a simple, unfussy bag, an ultra long adjustable strap, a roomy interior, several zipped pockets and the fabric, being nylon ripstop, is as tough as it gets.
It's a great little bag, good for carrying small and important items, the type that you take with you for lunch, to the cinema or when you're out and about and need something that's small but perfectly formed. The way that the strap is attached allows you to use it as a cross body or as a shoulder bag, and the fact that it's lightweight yet strong means it has potential for when you're out shopping - and you have some extra space available to fill with new purchases!
LeSportsac Deluxe Everyday Cross-Body
Of the various crossbody bags on the market, this one is a hugely popular style and design. It's another from the LeSportsac brand name and it's a larger, more rounded version of the previous bag. It's big enough to carry college books for the avid student, and equally big enough for the working woman's office portfolio.
Again, it's available in a range of colors and designs and depending on whether you prefer something fresh and vibrant, or muted and cool, you do get 14 different patterns and styles to choose from. It features a series of zipped pockets, a long carry strap that runs around the whole bag, reinforced stitching, a contrasting lining and a durable manufacture all round. Lightweight, reliable - tough yet gorgeous.
Fossil Crosstown Flat Crossbody
I love Fossil bags, who doesn't? Of all the leather crossbody bags, this one's the best seller by a long mile. The material is a beautiful soft yet durable leather, which you can purchase in either a red, brown or a natural shade. It features the well-known brand logo, an easily adjustable strap and a variety of different pockets.
There's a place for your cell, your PDA or other similar sized gadgets, your loose change and keys, must-have makeup and more. It's a great size, 10 inches square, and it's the little details that get my vote. The quality of the stitching, the lining and the hardware all help to create a cross body bag that will look as good on your hip in five years time as it will the day you buy it.
