Women's Shoulder Bags & Crossbody Bags

Whether it's a small shoulder bag for your map, keys, and phone or a spacious shoulder bag for the whole day: both styles stay securely on your body and leave your hands free. You wear compact crossbody models close over your shoulder, while larger shoulder bags can hold a book, bottle, and more. If you like the raffia look, you'll find similar models in our Raffia and Bast Bags. This way, the same carrying style can accompany you from a city stroll to a festival.

Our shoulder bags are handmade from three materials: smooth cowhide for the classic, durable version, soft suede for a soft drape with fringes, and hand-crocheted raffia for a light, summery boho look. The raffia models often have a real leather shoulder strap with a snap hook and magnetic closure, while the leather bags have a cotton lining with interior compartments. The pure leather versions can be found under Leather Bags.

What makes a good shoulder bag is its comfort: an adjustable or detachable shoulder strap, a wide strap for long wear, and functional interior compartments for organization. Many models have a detachable strap with carabiner hooks, allowing the same bag to be worn as a crossbody or short over the shoulder. The color selection ranges from classic black to warm brown, with fittings usually in antique gold.

Worn across the body, it leaves both your hands free – ideal for travel, everyday use, and festivals. A crossbody bag looks casual with denim, and more elegant with a dress or coat. At ANOKHI, crossbody and shoulder bags are created as handcrafted unique pieces from leather, suede, and bast – for women who want to carry a reliable bag for years instead of buying a new one every season.
