A good crossbody bag can make the difference between toting shopping bags hands-free or feeling frustrated about your bag slipping off your shoulder while you try to carry everything into the house. (And I'm sure we've all lost control of our handbag and dropped it in the parking lot, breaking a cell phone or other valuable on impact, at least once.)
