Styled Archives: When Mena Stars Put Their Spin on the Crossbody Bag

A good crossbody bag is basically a girl's personal assistant. It keeps your essentials close, leaves your hands free for a coffee, a phone call or an overly animated conversation, and somehow manages to pull an entire outfit together. The best ones do even more, adding a little edge to denim, a pop of colour to an otherwise simple look, or a designer touch to everyday dressing. Frankly, there is a reason we keep coming back to them.

From canvas carryalls and checkered leather bags to studded statement pieces and fringed bohemian finds, the crossbody has proved its place in the wardrobes of Arab celebrities across the years. Spotted in movie looks, music-video outfits, and candid street-style moments, these bags show just how versatile an everyday essential can be.
