Kate Hudson Used a Hands-Free Bag for Her Summer ‘Wanderings’ — and It’s Like a Tote and Crossbody Combined

Kate Hudson’s purse is kind of like A Little Bit of Heaven. 

Last week, the 45-year-old shared some snapshots of her “Wanderings” during her #HudsonFujSummer2024, and we spotted a cute bag that was somewhat of an anomaly. And it wasn’t because of the fringe or tan color. 

The size of the bag was the ace in the hole: It was a hands-free purse that was like the offspring of a big tote and a tiny crossbody, both of which celebrities keep swaying to. And it seemed superb for summer travels. 

It was more sizable than a compact crossbody that can only fit the essentials like a phone, wallet, and keys. But it’s not roomy enough for a laptop or everything you’d keep in a backpack or carry-on. This prevents it from getting too stuffed or heavy, so it’s still pleasant to tote around.

Sunwel Vegan Suede Fringe Crossbody Bag

This Sunwel purse has the best parts of Katie Holmes’ crescent bag — i.e. the cool shape and hands-free strap — and the fun fringe of Hudson’s. According to one shopper, it’s deep enough to hold their wallet, travel wipes, hand sanitizer, and a smaller bag (kind of like a set of nesting eggs), too. And though crossbody bags are ideal for travel, it can also be worn as a shoulder bag, should your outfit need a new vibe.  

Baggallini Horizon Crossbody

Multiple pockets are another thing to look for: The more there are, the more room you have to pack things in. For example, this Baggallini crossbody has two zipper compartments right in the front, which would be a good place to stash your phone and hand sanitizer, while the bigger one looks like it could even accommodate taller items like a water bottle or book. It’s also machine-washable, so if you spill on it, it can be quickly fixed. 

Kate Spade Chelsea Duffle Crossbody

Anything with the word duffle in its name is likely going to be spacious, like this discounted Kate Spade pick that’s available in three colors. Meanwhile this Mango bag is labeled as “mini,” yet it’s got a bucket-like construction and a top-handle, which is how Jennifer Lopez keeps carrying her bags.
