3 Reasons You Need a Saddle Bag Purse

By Stacey Freeman 3 Comments

saddle-bag-purse

One of my favorite fashion trends that continues from 2016 is the saddle bag purse trend. I love their retro, yet practical vibe. I’m constantly searching for the perfect cross-body bag for all my travels and I think I finally found it. I’m obsessed with my denim blue saddle bag for three reasons.

1. A Saddle Bag Purse is Great For Travel

The reason I love saddle bag purses for traveling is because the cross-body strap gives me a hands-free and arms-free option. Cross-body purses are great in case I need to stop to look at a map or snap a quick selfie in front of an important landmark. Also, many of the saddle bag purses are roomie enough to hold my essentials. They aren’t very heavy, so they don’t weigh me down as I’m walking all around the cities as I explore. I also wear the bag across my body but place it right at my front hip so I always know right where my items are. Although I love that backpacks are back in style, I prefer to travel with a saddle bag because I can keep all of my things right at my hip so I never have to worry about pick-pockets.

2. Saddle Bags are Timeless

The saddle bag style, like my bag, was first introduced by Coach in 1972. At 45 years old, it is a total classic, yet timeless style. I remember when my sister first got a Coach purse back in the mid-90s. I thought she was so cool and I loved that black saddle bag she had back then. Looking back, I realize the saddle bag purse is one that will always be around, with periods of greater popularity. Just like a Chanel classic flap, the saddle bag is here to stay. I am so excited to add this denim blue saddle bag to my wardrobe, as I know I’ll have it for many years to come.

3. A Saddle Bag Purse Goes with Everything

My initial obsession with saddle bag purses started last summer when I spotted this Sancia saddle bag at a new local boutique in Phoenix. I ended up bringing that purse with me to Italy, and it was a great addition to my travel wardrobe. I definitely wore it with many different looks, from more casual to dressy. Just like my Sancia bag, I know I’ll be able to wear my denim saddle bag with so many different things. It is the perfect bag to transition from day to night. I’m especially excited about the denim blue color because it is not your obvious brown or black. The blue color still acts as a neutral, so you can wear it with basically everything.

If you’re in the market for a new handbag this spring, you should definitely check out all the great saddle bag purses on the market. Here are some of my favorites.

MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA w MLK weekend vibes💙. It has been so warm in LA we spent all day at the beach yesterday. Today, we are taking in local parks and another gorgeous day. But, my heart is heavy with the state of our world.

Today, as we celebrate an important figure in the fight for Black equality, I’m choosing not to share one of his famous quotes because that’s too easy. Simply sharing his words without considering or sharing my perspective about the current state of our country feels disingenuous at best.

I’ve struggled with how to talk about the insurrection because I still find it all so shocking. And the fact that I am shocked is a problem. That our country can be so divided that it’s difficult for me to even fathom how people could participate in this divisiveness.
.
The insurrection happened on my birthday, as I flew to Puerto Vallarta. Landing in Mexico and learning about what was happening felt surreal. I still can’t wrap my head around it, honestly.  What scares me the most is the hate. The idolizing of a white supremacist ideology is terrifying. It terrifies me for my children. For their safety. For their lives.
.
I understand that a lot of hate is spurred by fear, lack of understanding and discomfort. Today, I hope we can all think about how to be more open to thoughts and perspectives that our different than our own. Be more accepting of people who look different, who have different cultures and life experiences. Today, I hope we can all collectively try to confront every human interaction from a place of love and kindness. If we all spent a little more time considering the other person’s life or story, I think we’d have a lot more peace and happiness. #mlk #mlkday #mlkweekend

That's why I love having @Progresso Toppers soups on hand because they make quick and  tasty lunch options when I'm super busy. They are so convenient - and the soup also comes with a topper for the perfect crunch. They come in five different flavors and are ready in minutes. All five flavors of the Progresso Toppers are made with quality ingredients and no added sugar, or artificial flavors, or colors.
