Boho Crossbody & Shoulder Bags
Hands-free patchwork and embroidered bags.
Bags you can wear across your body and forget about. These cotton shoulder, messenger and crossbody bags are made in Nepal in patchwork, tie-dye, knit and razor-cut designs.
Why crossbody at a faire
A crossbody bag keeps your phone, cash and sunscreen on you while your hands hold a drink, a turkey leg or a child. It also stays put in a crowd.
Patchwork and tie-dye bags
Most of these bags are cotton patchwork, some combined with tie-dye or razor-cut stripes. Each is pieced on its own, so colors vary.
Om, peace and owl designs
Choose from Om symbols, the Om Mani Padme Hum mantra, peace signs, a spiral print and an owl patch.
Matching your outfit
A busy patchwork bag works best with a solid dress or skirt. With tie-dye, pick a bag that picks up one of its colors.
Knit and embroidered bags
A few bags use knitted cotton panels, and one is an embroidered cotton shoulder purse. These are softer and slouchier than the patchwork styles.
Gift ideas
A patchwork shoulder bag makes an easy gift, since there is no size to guess. Pair it with a mala or a wool beanie.
