7 Best Quilted Crossbody Bags You Need to Buy!

The popularity of quilted crossbody bags remains strong and enduring. Luxury brands like Gucci and Dior offer luxurious versions of these bags, while more affordable options can be found at COS. Personally, I have a vivid memory of the first time I ran my hand over a Chanel bag with its iconic diamond stitching.

According to Karin Gustafsson, design director at COS, quilting is a technique commonly used in outerwear and other garments that has naturally transitioned into accessories. Through their design processes, COS utilizes this craft to experiment with the shape and volume of a classic bag. While quilting doesn’t determine the bag’s puffiness, it adds depth and texture that can make even a simple black rectangular bag feel fresh and exciting.

As someone who frequently commutes on the New York subway, a functional crossbody bag is essential. However, the addition of quilting patterns and other fun details inspire me to invest in something new. If you’re looking for recommendations, I have compiled a list of my current top fifteen favorite quilted crossbody bags, including the popular COS bag.
