I used to use totes the majority of the time for school and everyday life. And then I became a mom and realized how essential it was for me to be hands free with a crossbody bag! I don’t have to worry about it slipping off of my shoulder when I am juggling my 18 month old and 3 year old. Love these bags! Beautiful

I only use crossbody bags. I have a small one and two larger. I have never found that I have needed to spend even 50.00 on a bag to last for years; the key for me is not to fall for any trendy pattern or color that you get tired of. My decisions have never been based on very expensive designer brands.

Hi Jennifer...I don't write very much but I watch your you tube regularly and subscribe. I want to thank you for the book Madame Chic. It was excellent and it ended up changing my life with food. I've been a minimalist since 1996, long before the word 'minimalist' was used. I always was pleased with my home and it was easy to clean and maintain, except for grocery shopping. I couldn't get a handle of being minimal with food. After reading your book I decided to eat like a 'European'. I started to shop twice a week because shopping in markets wasn't possible where I live in Central Pennsylvania, except for the summer. I started to make lists, write dinner on the calendar and only make small amounts of casseroles. Madame Chic resided on my side table in the living room and I referred to it often. What changed so much was my pantry. I only buy one of something I need and use frequently, therefore my pantry is only half full these days. I don't bother with coupons anymore because they want us to buy 2 (such a relief in my life!!). I plan 3 meals for 3 days, then plan for another 3 days the second day I shop in each week. Leftovers are always used for another meal if necessary and not all eaten at lunch. My freezer is finally organized with bins the way I always wanted it to be because I don't make extra meals for the freezer. I never eat between meals unless I'm extra busy, like shoveling snow the last couple days. So a big Thank You, Jennifer for making such a huge and helpful change in my life! Kay

Since I started travelling extensively several years ago, I prefer a cross-body bag so that my hands are free to pull my suitcase along with one hand and also have a pack on my back which leaves me with a hand free. I purchased a new crossbody bag last year with a narrower strap and noticed the difference the width of the strap makes. The wider the strap, the less pressure on my shoulder/back. After a while I need to change the shoulder over which the crossbody hangs to prevent pain.

Thank you for your bag reviews, they were helpful! I’ve used several different kinds over the years. I’m still searching for that perfect size and shape, very vintage inspired, not too small but not a medium either. I love a simple crossbody and satchel. I’ve gotten away from anything with writing or logos which stands out, especially more than the bag. I love Kate Spade and the one thing that I feel would elevate the bags even more would be to have the branding only seen from the inside. For this reason I’ve often searched H&M for simple and chic looking bags because there is never a logo.

Style, lightweight and safety, these are what I look for in handbags. For daily use, my favourites are crossbody bags (or with a crossbody option). They can't be lost or snatched away from you, they leave your hands free, don't slip down your shoulder and as you said the weight is more evenly balanced. They also must close completely, not partly, not bags that stay open. And have outside pockets (a zipped one for my keys) and inside pockets. On special occasions I love a clutch and any other beautiful type of handbag. Also I love chic vintage classics! Finally I love good quality but I don't crave designers bags as I find their prices outrageous, I prefer locally-made chic and quality handbags. As for the selection in the video, some are truly beautiful but they are too expensive, even with a discount. My favourite bag was the first one! All time classic, beautifully made, and that gorgeous colour with the great skills are an amazing combination :)

Recently found your channel and binging through videos. I love a crossbody for the hands free aspect. Usually go for a black leather so it will work with most any situation. Usually find something at Kohl's or similar store that is well built but still affordable. Now if I'm taking kid to park or walking, then I've found that a drop leg bag (a similar idea to a fanny pack, but looks better) is great to just hold the essentials, phone, wallet, and keys. Everything else can stay in the car or at home.

It was probably an affirmation during her trip to Australia just after they were married but they last the distance I have the pale blue (something old....) one I wore for my wedding back in 1969. I used it for many years - still love it but find a cross body bag most practical for my current life. Final thought I don’t think I have ever owned a vegan bag but am guessing they may weigh less than leather, which is something to consider now that I’m old.🇦🇺

I was thinking I wouldn’t even be able to fit my keys, glasses and purse into it but since it has card slots that’s great. I don’t know if those two are available here in Australia. It’s always better to see them in real life first, rather than online, especially for things like handbags anyway. That might be just me who thinks that. I use a casual crossbody for walking the dog. For most days I use a shoulder bag or a shopping tote and for evening I use either a small shoulder bag or strapless handbag or clutch for going out to dinner.

I love my Mulberry Annabel (viking/equestrian looking) and Bryn (more mod) crossbody bags and my Isabel Marant Nessah - for life!! I don't think crossbodies look good when they are too large. A lot of the ones you showed look like regular handbags that happen to have a longer cross body strap, and the proportions are all off IMO. They are far too large. I would rather carry a backpack than a crossbody that big. I prefer the size of the cork purse or just slightly larger. I just can't get behind vegan plastic bags - not sustainable at all. I have never been into logos, so LV doesn't do it for me either. I think handbags look ladylike, but they are not practical for me unless I am a lady who lunches. If I had to use one, my choice would be the Hermès Kelly bag. The Mark Cross bags look nice.

I'm a Kate Spade girl. Living in Southern California I prefer the crossbody because it's more secure from theft and I'm forgetful and have left my purse in shopping carts.

@@cm-nj I agree. They are well made and last forever. Many of the designs are fun and whimsy.

I have a very beautiful leather tote, but it’s heavy. I mostly grab one of my crossbodies. I have a small and a medium one.

For years I tried to use a crossbody bag but they were all too big and pulled on my neck. But during lockdown I have found that I use a small purse crossbody and a leather /vegan back pack which holds an umbrella. sanitisers wipes, gloves, wrap up shopping bag. and mask my money goes in so deep eve I cannot find it and a small change purse.

With a toddler I prefer a backpack over a crossbody so I can bend over and now have the bag swinging around. Mine has a small zip on the side that's on my back so I can reach behind me and easily get my wallet with one hand.

Hi Jennifer. I am a new viewer and I began reading your blog. I would love to purchase your 10 item wardrobe course, but I see it’s no longer available. Will it be returning at some point? I also wanted to share that I’ve learned so much from you this past hour! So thank you 😊

I’d appreciate knowing if “feet” or brads ( don’t know what they’re called) on the bottom of bag are included. I find they’re valuable in preserving bottom of bag from scuffs, tears, scratches, etc. To me, an indication of a quality product.

Hi Denmark calling 🇩🇰 what about your bags? What were your thoughts buying them, why do you keep them? 😊

I don't like handbags with the designers name or initials all over the bag. It is like look at me I can afford an expensive bag even if it's useless or unattractive. I do like Dooney and Burke though because the initials on their bags are mine. Teddy Blake and Patricia Nash are also favorites. They last forever. My only no no is one that doesn't have a zip or closure. I had someone try to pick pocket me once thank goodness they were very bad at it and I'm really short. I saw them lean over into my side vision. It is the only time I ever shoved someone.

I love my handbag but the crime is so high in my town that I cannot show it off in town. So I only wear my bag when I go to work or when I visit my friends at home. The rest of the time I carry a small card wallet.

I made the move to a crossbody bag once I was chasing toddlers around. It allows you to have two arms while you're out and about! 😂
