What do Michelangelo’s David, DaVinci’s Last Supper, the Egyptian Pyramids and Gucci’s
Jackie Bag have in common?

Okay, okay. That might’ve been a bit of a stretch. The Jackie Bag is the legendary fashion house’s Pièce de Résistance. It‘s Gucci’s masterpiece that has headlined its storied past. First created in the 1950’s, the model became one of the preferred accessories of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Ladies, if you hate having a purse hanging on your arm, then a cross-body bag is for you.

Cross-body bags may be inexpensive (under $50), or top-on-the-line designer bags that cost a whole lot more (hundreds more). They can be created in a poly-nylon fabric or in the finest leather.

American women desire the best in terms of ease of wear and convenience; but we don't want to ignore style and fashion, either. So, just for you, here is the start of a collection of the best cross-body bags for women. You are sure to find one you absolutely adore.

When you make a purse, install magnetic snaps to give your bag a secure closure. Magnetic snaps work well because since they are magnetic, when the two sides are in close contact, they are attracted to each other and automatically close. Reinforcing the area with interfacing where the magnetic snap goes helps the fabric stay stable, so it will stay strong and secure.
