Alice Crescent Crossbody
The Alice Crescent Crossbody offers one of the widest strap ranges in the lineup—25 to 44.5 inches—so it adjusts easily from a snug hip-level shoulder carry to a relaxed, hands-free crossbody drop. The slim, flat strap stays put without slipping, and the curved crescent base keeps the bag close to the body rather than swinging or splaying outward. A full-width top zipper and interior slip pocket keep your phone, wallet, and keys simple to find. Shop more everyday essentials in our Crossbody Bags collection.
