It has been said on the pages of Stylebook before that a particular new offering is the “it bag,” and it has been said by yours truly. There are just bags we receive that I know are the bag that everyone will love. They fit a need, the design is flawless, and it just looks really, really good. Well, it has happened again, and once again, it is by Parker Thatch. The new Cross Your Heart Sling Bag is the sling bag I have been trying to find for years for myself. Not too sporty (I love sporty but not what I want all the time) and big enough to carry everything I need, and it lets me go hands-free. It also has a second pocket, so if you are like me and want to have a separate place for keys, glasses, and your phone, it has it. 

I don’t know if you have noticed, but everyone is going to Europe this year. Like everyone, well, everyone but me. But this is the bag they all needed. So if you still haven’t left for your vacation or just want a great bag to go around town, this is it.

This bag is different in that it doesn’t come with a strap, so you have to purchase it separately. This way, you get the one you want, and you also can switch them out as well. If you already own a Parker Thatch bag, you can just swap it off that one as well. I love all the colors, especially the green. But I think I have to start with the brown or the black. Now I just need to figure out when I can go on that vacation.
