If you’re shopping for a vegan crossbody bag, I’m here to help!
To me, crossbody bags strike the perfect balance between versatility and style. I currently use mine as an everyday purse, but it also doubles as my travel companion when we’re flying and exploring new cities.
Whether you’re always on the go and traveling like me or you need a purse to use at work and for nights out, a crossbody is a must-have essential.
With chic options from Angela Roi to trendy styles from JW PEI, I’ve rounded up the 15 best vegan crossbody bags for any occasion.
Here Are the Best Vegan Crossbody Bags of 2020:
Angela Roi
I couldn’t start this list with anyone other than Angela Roi.
Angela Roi is a vegan fashion designer making stylish vegan crossbody bags, totes, wallets, you name it. She utilizes high-quality EPUL leather, and all the handbags are meticulously hand-crafted by artisans in South Korea.
I’m a huge fan of hers and own both the Olivia Wallet and the Angelou Mini Bucket. To be honest, the materials she uses replicates leather so well that I’ve had several people stop and ask me where my bag is from and been shocked to find out its not leather.
Angela Roi also features a section on her website called #HowMyBagIsMade which shows you the entire design process from start to finish. I personally love the transparency and insider look behind the scenes.
Best of all, Angela Roi offers free fast shipping and free returns, and all items come with their own dust bag.
Barton Mini
The Angela Roi Barton Mini is one of her best-selling bags. This stunning vegan crossbody bag comes in five different colors and is made from her signature pebble material.
Now, the Barton mini is the smaller of size of the original Barton Duffle Tote which is perfect if you’re looking for a slightly more compact yet roomy bag. The inside features a zip compartment as well as a cell phone and wallet compartment. You’ll also be able to fit an iPad mini.
The Barton Mini comes with a detachable and adjustable strap so you can wear it as a crossbody, over the shoulder, or simply over the arm.
The Hamilton Crossbody
The Hamilton Crossbody is made using Angela Roi’s newest material – a vegan micro-pebble leather that mixes structure with flexibility.
The ultra stylish bag features a classic rectangular design with a practical accordion structure to help keep your belongings organized. You'll find one bigger main compartment and two smaller compartments where you can toss your chapstick, keys, and other essentials. The interior is fully lined with vegan suede to give it that extra luxe feel.
Also, the Hamilton Crossbody comes in 7 beautiful colors. I want them all!
Eloise Satchel
The Eloise Satchel is the ultimate head turner. Seriously, this bag is the definition of chic.
Angela Roi actually designed the Eloise Satchel to be an elegant feminine bag that could be paired with women’s suits, and it is that and so much more. Besides wearing this stunner to work, you’ll get a ton of use from it for evenings out and special occasions. It’s just such a timeless classic.
The vegan crossbody bag is designed with Angela Roi's sturdy pebble texture and antique gold hardware. If you love keeping things tidy in your bags, you’ll love the three separate compartments.
Two of the compartments are similar in size and can fit an iPad mini, sunglasses, and a small wallet. The other compartment is smaller and perfect for your bare essentials.

Lee Coren
Lee Coren is a cruelty-free PETA approved brand that offers an unparalleled combination of high-quality products and innovative design. Their stylish vegan crossbody bags are truly one of a kind and many of them feature handmade prints made from actual landscape photographs. Honestly, I’ve never come across such unique patterns anywhere.
All the bags are handmade in Israel from premium Italian cotton based PU-leather, which ensures an authentic look and a long-lasting end-product. Better yet, Lee Coren’s bags are perfect for travel.
In fact, the brand’s motto is “Made to Travel, Inspired By Modern Exploration.”
Box Crossbody
Personally, I think the Box Crossbody is super cute, especially in the dusty rose color with gold confetti specks. It’s a practical and perfectly sized purse that will fit all of your essentials.
The bag also features practical inside pockets and a sturdy zipper that keeps your belongings safe and protected. Also, thanks to the wide strap, this vegan crossbody bag is easy to carry for longer periods of time like while commuting or during long waits at airports.
Everything Crossbody and Clutch
If you’re looking for an even more versatile bag, then I would recommend the Everything Crossbody and Clutch.
The detachable leather strap means this vegan crossbody purse quickly changes from a day bag that you can wear at work to a stylish clutch that you can bring with you at night. Its unique design means you can fold it and completely change the appearance and size.
Bucket Crossbody
If you need a bigger bag that can fit a small laptop or an iPad, you should opt for the Bucket Crossbody. The bag is designed similarly to the other two, although it is substantially bigger and features a sturdy vegan leather bottom.
I would say this bag is perfect for work or to bring to school since it can fit a few books, notebooks, and even a small lunch box.

JW PEI
JW PEI is an established vegan brand that offers affordable luxury and some of the most stylish vegan crossbody bags on the market. They're known for their stand-out designs, versatile collections, and their own signature microfiber vegan leather that mimics real leather like few other materials.
More importantly, JW PEI uses recycled plastic for more than 50% of their products and has vowed to only use recycled plastic within 5 years. In my opinion, it’s always worth supporting brands that are actively working on changing the world for the better and JW PEI is one of them.
Mini Circle Top Handle Bag
The circle bag trend is in full force, and JW PEI’s Mini Circle Bag is a must-have! The gorgeous bag has one handle and one strap so that you can adapt it depending on the setting and use it either as a small crossbody or as a hand-held purse. Thanks to the detachable strap, the switch is instant.
And don't let the small size fool you - you'd be surprised just how much you can fit in this mini bag without it ever feeling heavy or bulky. Personally, I think it's the perfect bag for a night out.
The Fiona Bag
I seem to see the Fiona Bag all over Instagram, and for good reason. How could you not love this bag? Its structured design, exciting range of colors and broad front flap make it effortlessly chic.
If you like to keep things organized, this vegan crossbody purse will offer you everything you need and then some. The inside is divided with accordion side panels as well as one zipper pocket and one pocket for your smartphone. Moreover, it has a small slit pocket in the back for quick access.
In other words, if you love to combine style with practicality, the Fiona vegan crossbody bag would be perfect for you.
The Double Moon Crossbody
The Double Moon Crossbody is the epitome of a high-end vegan leather bag that won’t break the bank. That said, this vegan bag is on the smaller side so it’s better for a night out or when you just need to bring a few of your essentials.
JW PEI’s bag features a large golden ring on top that gives the bag a super exclusive look and that also doubles as a handle. However, it also has comes with a vegan leather strap for when you want to wear it as a crossbody.

LaBante London
I recently discovered LaBante London and am loving their products and what they stand for as a company. LaBante London is a completely cruelty-free and PETA-approved brand on a mission to empower women which is why 99% of their design and production team are women.
They also donate 10% of all their profits to charity and are very adamant about only using sustainable and ethically sourced materials for all of their products.
The best part about this all-vegan handbag brand is that their designer bags offer amazing quality without breaking the bank. Also, all of LaBante’s handbags come with their own dust bags for safe storage.
Kensington
Kensington is the name of LaBante’s most sophisticated and elegant vegan crossbody bag and to me, it’s the ultimate testament to LaBante's incredible workmanship.
With its distinct V-shaped design and double gold strap, this bag is guaranteed to turn heads wherever you go. But it’s not only pretty to look at but also very versatile and spacious so you can fit your everyday essentials and much more.
I think the Kensington is a great introduction to LaBante London’s high-quality handbags.
Vanessa
Compared to the Kensington, LaBante’s Vanessa vegan crossbody bag is more playful and petite. The bag’s design is rather simple with a front clutch and an accordion interior with two open compartments and two zipper pockets. It also has a detachable gold chain so you can choose to wear it across as a crossbody or as a clutch.
That being said, the most striking aspect of this handbag is the individually created, faux leather butterflies on the front. How cute is that?
Courtney
LaBante London’s Courtney bag is very similar to yet slightly smaller than the Kengsinton. Once again, this bag is a testament to how serious LaBante takes everything from design to production and end-product, and, in my opinion, it’s one of their cutest crossbody vegan leather bags.
Similar to the Kensington, Courtney features a modern and innovative design with a stylish double gold chain. Even though it looks pretty small in images, this vegan bag is big enough to fit all your essentials such as keys, phone, sunglasses, tissues, and wallet as well as a small water bottle.
Melie Bianco
Melie Bianco is an up and coming vegan handbag brand that offers some of the most affordably priced cruelty-free bags you can find. Besides winning PETA’s ”Best Animal-Friendly Accessories” award, Melie Bianco has also been featured in Vogue UK!
All of Melie Bianco’s bags are fair trade and equally as stylish as they are practical. Their collection of vegan crossbody bags is varied with a range of styles, colors, and sizes so you’ll have plenty to choose from. Melie Bianco also happens to be the most budget-friendly option on this list!
Crossbody Basket Design
This handbag is as unique as it is practical. I personally love the basket design and can’t believe how much it seems to fit - it's more like a large tote or a small weekender.
The main compartment is big enough for your iPad or computer in addition to some books or a change of clothing. And thanks to the inside zipper pockets, you’ll be able to keep track of all your smaller belongings.
In other words, if you love a spacious bag, the Melie Bianco basket crossbody is for you.
The simple yet sturdy leather strap is great when the bag is heavy but it can quickly be replaced with a gold circle handle for more style options.
Andie Quilted Vegan Bag
Unlike the basket bag, the Andie quilted vegan bag is more traditionally styled. The chain link is adjustable so that you can wear it has high or as low as you prefer. The bag also has a large main compartment with several smaller pockets on the inside.
My favorite part is the classic chevron quilted design made in premium vegan leather since it’s just as fitting for a relaxed day downtown as it is for an elegant dinner or party.
Lauren Flower Applique
The Lauren Flower Applique handbag features a super unique and interesting design with a flower pattern on the front. This vegan crossbody purse is less structured which gives it a lighter and more adaptable feel.
Its square, rather than rectangular shape allows for more storage space, and the different compartments will help you keep track of your essentials.
