Messenger bags are the best for when we’re looking for something that combines functionality and style. They’re not the best, however, when we’re not trying to carry around our entire life with us. We love the style and the convenience, but the size is a bit too overwhelming for nights out or carefree weekends.
This is where the Alyssa Double Compartment Large Flapover Crossbody Bag comes in. At first glance, it almost looks like a messenger bag. It’s such a similar style, and yet so much sleeker and chicer. Look a little closer to see that it’s actually a faux-leather crossbody that’s not only the perfect size, but the perfect price, coming in at under $25 in basically every color imaginable!

This bag has over 1,000 reviews, and shoppers are calling it the Mary Poppins of bags because it can just fit so much inside without bulging out or losing shape. They’re saying it beats out any other bag they’ve owned in terms of functionality, but that it’s also incredibly trendy and cute! They’re not only gifting it to others, but to themselves, too, because they don’t want to wait for others to take the hint!
Just like a messenger bag, this crossbody has a large flap with magnetic snap button closures. As added bonuses though, there’s also adorable topstitching detail, and on the decorative straps, we’ll find a goldtone hardware accent that truly makes this bag. Each has three chevron-inspired, downward facing arrow embellishments!

Underneath the flap, we’ll actually find a zip closure as well, keeping our belongings secure. Inside, it’s storage city. There are three large compartments! The outer two even have a fun, contrasting print lining for a fun surprise. On top of these three spacious compartments, we also have a zip pocket and a slip pocket for extra storage, which is great for things like lipstick, pens or our keys!
Did you think the storage ended there? It doesn’t! Back on the outside of this bag, we’ll find another zip pocket hiding on the back! We love a spacious bag, but one with multiple compartments and proper division is key to living our life without spending minutes at a time digging around inside for a lip balm!
This bag is currently available in 18 colors, featuring both neutrals and pops. As for neutrals, Light Grey and Stone sort of give us military-inspired vibes, especially with the hardware accents. Other neutral options include Dusty Beige, Light Tan and, of course, Black! For something a little more colorful, we’re big fans of Dusty Pink, Blue Grey and Mustard. The true pops, however, lie with Fuchsia, Mint and Red!
The color options don’t end there, so make sure to check all of them out — we may even end up wanting two (or more)!
