Crossbody bags have quickly become a wardrobe staple – namely, the Uniqlo cult favourite. Needless to say, I loved jumping on the Uniqlo crossbody bag hype; I even had two. But I quickly became irritated that I couldn't quite fit everything I needed in it.
I'd often end up carrying my bag in another tote bag so I could fit my clunkier items – book and water bottle – when out and about. Annoying, right? That was until I stumbled across the internet's new favourite bag brand, Baggu.
And for good reason, too: The colourways are endless, they have adorable brand collaborations (Miffy and Hello Kitty, to name a couple), as well as a sustainability-focused brand ethos. Their sling bags, totes and backpacks have quickly become the perfect accessory for any occasion, too.

It fits everything I need
Before a recent trip to New York, a couple of months ago, I bought the Medium Nylon Crescent Bag as I knew I'd be out and about in tourist mode most days (and nights). A friend of mine already had one, and I'd been eyeing it for months. So going on a trip felt like a good reason to treat myself.
I'm not being dramatic when I say this, but it was perfect. I find carrying a tote around uncomfortable, a backpack too claustrophobic (particularly since New York was reaching highs of 39 degrees – grim), but this bag was just right. I was able to fit my book, a 750mL water bottle, phone, purse, keys, headphones, lip gloss, sunscreen, and the list goes on. Nothing aggravates me more than having my hands full or trying to blindly rifle around a bag, and thanks to its two interior pockets, it's easy to stay organised.
It has a sturdy and adjustable strap, so it never feels too heavy. Particularly, if you swing it round to sit on your back.
Being a tourist has never been so comfortable. 9 Product Reviews
But wait, there's more!
Not in the market for a crossbody bag? Baggu stocks everything from purses to reusable bags to totes. But they also have some of the coolest accessories and tech bits around.
They have adorable earphone cases, toiletry cases, and lunchboxes, but my personal fave is the Smiley Puffy Laptop Sleeve – great for anyone who likes a bit of colour and fun.
