We are definitely living in a time where fashion is supporting our lives. We don’t have to choose between sensible and style— we can and should expect both. We’re ditching bulky handbags that slow us down for accessories that move with us.
When I created Womads.co, it was to build fashion that supports women. We started with shoes, then I thought why not also do accessories. Our crossbody bags are perfect for the woman who’s always on the move—whether that’s through city streets, airport terminals, or going for long walks with your dog!
Why Choose a Crossbody Bag Over a Traditional Handbag?
Let’s start with the obvious: your hands get to be free. You don’t have to juggle your phone, coffee, keys, all while keeping your bag on your shoulders. A crossbody bag stays close to your body and out of the way.
Crossbodies are perfect lightweight, practical pieces that keep up with us. They support a more minimalist lifestyle and are great for all seasons. In the cooler months, the Womads crossbodies are light enough to hang out under your coat and in the warmer months they stay out of your way so you can enjoy frolicking outside.
A Bag That Moves With You
Crossbody bags are built for movement. Whether you're traveling, running errands, or navigating back-to-back meetings, a crossbody keeps your essentials accessible without slowing you down.
Womads crossbody bags are perfect for:
-
Travel days: Perfect for busy airports and flights. You can keep your phone, sanitizer and boarding pass close.
-
Long walks with your pup or at summer festivals: perfect for keeping your hands free to switch music, chuck the ball for your pup, maybe look around at festivals, hold a lemonade, the list goes on and on.
-
Brunch dates and evening plans: Crossbodies are super easy to throw on and work as an accessory to our outfit. They are also perfect for any last minute plans you and your friends come up with at brunch.
-
Cooler climates: Easy to slip on under your coat and carry gloves.
What I love about these bags is they can easily adapt to be part of your lifestyle. Lightweight, comfortable, and secure, they’re designed to support you and not hold you back.
Safety Meets Style
Another huge pro to crossbody bags is the safety feature. Crossbodies sit close to your body, so they’re more secure than traditional bags which is essential when traveling or commuting. They reduce the chance of slipping off your shoulder or being easily grabbed, all while keeping your belongings within reach.
I am the worst at shopping and placing my hand bag down to look at items and then walking away. The crossbodies always sit out of the way so you don't risk accidentally leaving them on a check out counter or in your car.
I also hate the idea of placing my handbag on the floor at restaurants or coffee shops and something about leaving it on the chair just doesn't feel safe to me. It's just one of those little things you don’t think about until you’re in the moment.
Crossbodies I feel were just made to solve all those problems we all have with handbags and I love it, makes them the perfect everyday bag.
Minimalism Meets Modern Design
Crossbody bags encourage you to carry only what you need—a refreshing shift toward minimalism. No more hauling around a half-used makeup bag or that snack from two weeks ago.

-
Wallet
