Béis ID Crossbody Bag Review

As much as it pains me to admit it, I’ve never been much of a purse-carrier. In fact, I actually kind of resent having to carry a bag around with me, especially when I only really need to have my credit card, ID, and keys with me. However, as I’ve unfortunately learned many times, the stress of only carrying (and eventually misplacing) my wallet when I’m on the go isn’t worth the discomfort of wearing a purse on my shoulder.

It looks like the masterminds at Béis know this struggle all too well, as they just launched the ultimate solution that minimalist travelers like myself have been waiting for: the ID Crossbody Bag. Featured in the new Béis Commuter Collection, the sleek phone crossbody is a stylish wallet-purse hybrid with room for just the essentials.

Béis ID Crossbody Features

$48 at Beistravel.com

With its 4.5-inch by 1.3-inch by 7.8-inch frame and lightweight nylon material, the Béis ID Crossbody Bag is perfectly sized and easily slings across my body, offering a comfortable hands-free experience. Moreover, the adjustable strap reaches up to 50.5 inches and is thinner than the ones you’d find on other phone crossbody bags, which enhances the sleek design. Notably, you can remove the straps and use the ID Crossbody to keep your tiny essentials organized in your backpack, purse, or carry-on suitcase.

Furthermore, like other Béis editor-loved travel bags, the ID Crossbody is stocked with pockets. On the front, you’ll discover a vertical zippered pocket and a slip-through pouch, ideal for holding my iPhone 11 Pro in its protective case along with receipts and other small items that I might need during the day.

Upon flipping the ID Crossbody, you’ll find additional storage options; another zippered pocket includes a removable cardholder that conveniently keeps your credit cards and essential documents secure. However, it’s worthy to note that the slots may not allow smooth card access, making this feature better suited for less frequently used cards.

Spacious and Convenient Design

Additionally, the impressively spacious main compartment accommodates my keys, portable charger, lip balm, and gum with ease. I appreciate that it features a metal frame closure, which simplifies access compared to typical zipper or button fasteners. This design allows for a fluid experience when retrieving items like keys, enhancing overall convenience.

Consequently, the Béis ID Crossbody Bag is a lightweight and practical option that I eagerly recommend to those seeking a minimalist carry solution without sacrificing style. If you’re an individual who values essentials over excess, this bag is an excellent choice for any outing.
