I tried them so you do not have to guess

3 Portland Leather bags for hands-free days

These three Portland Leather bags solve three different hands-free carry problems. The Circle is for a phone and a few essentials, the Tote Backpack spreads the weight across both shoulders, and the Lola gives me more room without giving up crossbody carry.

Pick 01

Circle Crossbody Bag

Why it made the list

I have the small Circle Crossbody in Blue Velvet. It has a front pocket where I would put my phone, another pocket inside, and a long crossbody strap.

Pick 02

Portland Leather Convertible Tote Backpack

Why it made the list

This compact backpack is shorter than a standard backpack, with a zip pocket in front and a full zipper across the top. I like it when I want purse-size storage across both shoulders.

Pick 03

Portland Leather Lola Crossbody Tote

Why it made the list

The Lola is the roomiest of these three. Mine is a medium crossbody tote with an outside phone pocket, one inside pocket, and a zipper across the top.
