]]> Convertible bags are a hot choice for fall. Look for bags with detachable straps that you can convert from shoulder bags to crossbody style or to a clutch. They are great when you need to be hands-free, or just want a completely different look. Personally for me, convertible crossbody bags are the ideal choice when sightseeing or on shopping trips.

Kate Napleton over at Stylehive provides her opinion on the convertible bag craze along with some fabulous options…

Handbags are my true weakness. Okay, and shoes, and accessories, okay FASHION. But handbags, I love. To get more mileage out of a bag purchase, I’ve been looking to buy one of the fall’s convertible bags. You know, something that goes from shoulder to tote, or hobo to hip-slung with a quick switch of a strap.

I love the color, texture and bohemian simplicity of the Kooba tied convertible hobo bag. And I feel like I could honestly carry this Foley + Corinna convertible small leather tote in red almost every day. It goes from shoulder to tote so flawlessly, and the scale is just adorable.

]]> Crossbody bags are great because you can stay handsfree. You might think of these type of bags more casual, but they can be stylish too.
