Handbags come and go, but cross-body bags stay forever. Okay, that may not be how the quote truly goes, but this statement still holds true, especially in a time where everyone’s running from one place to another barely able to catch up.

For the woman who’s always on the go, cross-body bags definitely come in handy. Basically, they keep your hands free (for multi-tasking purposes) and they facilitate the “running around” factor. But how did we get here exactly? Could it be the rising need of women to enter the workplace? Or perhaps is it a utilitarian need? Or was it the millennials? Regardless of how, these beauties are more than welcome to invade our closets, and we’re preparing a fabulous tribute just for their practicality!

So, we’ve gathered 14 must-have cross-body bags that will take you from day to night in style and flair. To the Photo Gallery!
