Best Stores for Cross-Body Bags in Malaysia

1. Puma

For those who are often on the go, Puma is the ideal brand for you. Offering sporty cross-body bags with the typical striking PUMA design with many practical on-the-go features, Puma bags are always an ideal companion to travel light. In addition, they’re made with high-quality materials that will stand the test of time and the harshness of travel. 

This Time Women’s Cross Body Bag perfectly resembles Puma’s bag philosophy. With a lightweight and compact design, plus features such as a slick piped construction and an adjustable shoulder strap with a metal chain, low-profile elements from metal and a silicone badge, it’s what you need to look stylish while being fuss-free. It’s available in Black and Lotus colours, so both men and women can get one!

2. Tracey

Chic and elegant are the perfect words to describe Tracey’s cross-body bags. A proud Malaysian brand, Tracey makes its bags locally while also addressing environmental issues by creating cruelty-free vegan leather bags as an alternative to using animal skin. 

You can find Tracey’s cross-body bags between RM55 to RM232, but this Tracey Iris Crossbody Purse is the one that caught our attention the most. While the belt-like outlook compliments your chic outfit of the day, it also carries a lot of things in a compact silhouette. Heck, it even fits a phone as large as iPhone 13 Pro Max!

3. Polo Hill

The British brand Polo Hill is built upon a deep inspiration from one of the oldest team sports in the world, Polo. The brand then translated this spirit into creating fashion products that are timeless and classy, just like the sports’ heritage. 

Styles apart, Polo Hill’s cross-body bags perfectly define a great balance of quality and affordability. You’ll find dozens of choices in their collections, but this Ladies Crossbody Sling Pouch Bag becomes their recent bestseller for a reason. Available in 12 colours (so everyone can get their favourite colour), it has a clean and simple exterior mixed with a fabric lining interior that holds multiple pockets bringing forward unmatchable value. Perfectly suitable for any occasion.

4. Mark Ryden

Men who love to appear in a simple and minimal style should consider Mark Ryden as their main go-to brand. Perfect for those who prefer a low-profile outfit, Mark Ryden produces elegant bags with plain black colours while also adding a lot of functionality to the design. Take this Men Cross Body Bags Waterproof for example; it’s designed with a unique yet simple silhouette that looks minimal but says a lot about the wearer’s personality. It’s easy to see why this bag got an excellent 5.0 rating even from over 4k sales!

To ensure consistency in their products’ quality, Mark Ryden’s bags are hand-designed, rigorously tested, and manufactured at their own production house without any third party.

5. Dr Cardin

The classic brand Dr Cardin has been a go-to brand for any Malaysian woman looking for stylish and on-trend bags for decades. They have over 50 years of experience in the industry and have opened more than 120 stores nationwide, so you can be sure they know a thing or two about how to create quality bags that shine. 

Dr Cardin’s cross-body bags are pretty affordable despite the quality it brings. Take a look at this Josie Ladies Small Crossbody Sling Bag. Not only it’s super stylish and fuss-free to carry, but there’s also a touch-screen feature so you can open your phone to text, scroll Instagram or even play games on the go without having to take your phone out from the bag. A truly perfect cross-body bag for travelling!

6. Arctic Hunter

Anyone who believes in the ‘work hard, travel harder’ motto should get at least one Arctic Hunter bag. The reason?  They’re designed to be super tough and safe, so you don’t have to be stressed about protecting your stuff when all you have to do is to enjoy the trip and the beautiful nature. 

Like this i-Trevor Solid Hard Case Crossbody Sling Bag, it’s designed with an anti-theft hidden pocket, USB 2.0 port, and tablet pocket for easy access, and it’s as light as 0.6kg. Plus, it’s also made with a heat-release and water-resistant material to keep your device safe in any weather. It’s hard to name a better brand for a fuss-free travel bag.

7. Crocodile

A brand very well-known for its durable and stylish footwear, Crocodile’s timeless and classic cross-body bag collections are also proven to be a sales hit. They just keep selling out! Another great news? They’re very affordable; this recent bestseller Women CrossBody & Shoulder Bag is available at just RM49 at the time of writing! Like other Crocodile products, it’s made from durable vegan leather – no animal is harmed in the making of their bags!

8. Decellini

Those who prefer unique and non-conformist fashion styles know that Decellini is among their top brands. Believing that everyone can and wants to look different, Decellini’s bags are always creative and have a little detail that separates them from the rest. This Queenzy Mia Crossbody & Purse is a perfect example of that; simple and minimalist, it’s designed with a woven strap design that fuses art into fashion, while the quality vegan leather material ensures it lasts.
