Cross-body Satchels

Anyone can appreciate a great handbag. Big or small, monochromatic or colorful, with or without straps a great bag goes a long way. Which is why when you do not want a tote or hobo, you can opt for a cross body satchel. The great thing about satchels is that a few can transition from day to night. Moreover, a few come with straps to switch from a satchel to a cute purse.

A popular back silhouette for Fall 2010 (Seen at Yves Saint Laurent), get ahead of the trend with a great cross-body satchel in a Spring color. Want something that transcends seasons? Try a satchel in a basic color with a bright color accent. A great place to find a great satchel is Anthropologie or JCrew; however, you can always opt to find a great find at a vintage/consignment shop. Below are two of my favorites I found on Anthropologie.
