Sling them across

Fuss-free cross-body bags can make a stylish statement and also transition well from day to night. Here are some of our top picks

Although their popularity might have waned temporarily in favour of the (impractical) baguette purses, the eternal charm of cross-body bags lies in their functionality and ability to lift even the most mundane looks. And now, with the style trending again, they are available in a variety of styles, colours and patterns.  

Glitter and glam

This playful unicorn-patterned sequinned bag has a reversible gold-hued side making it the perfect pick-me-up for a night out on town. Pair it with a little black dress and statement heels for a chic but playful look.
