Crossbody

Keys, mobile phone, wallet — and off you go! But where to put all the everyday essentials you need to carry?  A crossbody bag offers the perfect safe and convenient storage for everyday items, and it looks stylish too. At Kapten & Son you'll find the ideal style to use as an everyday accessory!

What is a crossbody bag?

Crossbody bags (sometimes referred to simply as shoulder bags) are versatile modern accessories that are distinguished by their practical carrying design. Thanks to the diagonal shoulder strap, the bag can just be suspended across your upper body, leaving your hands free while still having everything you need conveniently available. Crossbody bags are the perfect combination of functional and aesthetic design and are an absolute must-have item if you like travelling a lot.

How big should a crossbody bag be?

Small but mighty: most crossbody bags offer around 1 litre of storage, which provides ample space and organisation options for your everyday essentials. In addition to your mobile phone, keys and wallet, you can also store headphones, handkerchiefs, hand cream and other small everyday items. It's true that you won't be able to fit in a laptop, tablet or A4 folder, but the benefit is that a crossbody bag is small, light and comfortable to carry. These bags are designed so they are barely noticeable and won't get in your way or become annoying when travelling.

How do you wear a crossbody bag?

As the name suggests, the crossbody bag is worn across your upper body using the long shoulder strap. You can adjust the length of this strap and wear the bag at the front, on your back or to the side — it's entirely up to you and your preferences. You can also tuck the bag under your arm, carry it over your shoulder or hold it in your hand. There are all sorts of creative options with the little crossbody bag!

Crossbody bag and sling bag: what's the difference?

These two terms are often used synonymously, so there is no real difference. Both the crossbody bag and the sling bag are small shoulder bags. The term sling bag originally comes from the "sling pack", which is a rucksack with just a single shoulder strap that is also worn across the upper body, so effectively this is a larger version of a crossbody bag.
