The 3 Tumi cross body bags that are great for your travels are the Sadler Crossbody, the Capri Crossbody and the Lugano Messenger bag. You can find all of them on sale on Amazon.com. We also have reviews of a few very nice anti-theft crossbody bags from other brands if you’re so inclined, so take a look here!
What all these bags have in common is that they’re made of 100% nylon with leather accents on the outside and nylon lining inside. The broad nylon shoulder strap is adjustable for you to use either over the shoulder or across the body. They all feature metallic hardware.
If you want to look at these bags in more detail and see what the differences among the 3 are, read on!
Lugano Messenger Bag
This casual styled bag is perfect for international travel when you want to deter petty thieves but don’t want to get a fiddly and potentially heavy anti-theft bag. Instead, the flap top with magnetic closure hides the zippers of the main and front compartments from plain view.
The Lugano Messenger Bag is currently available in smoky quartz, sapphire, garnet and emerald. The measurements are 9″ x 9″ x 5″ and weighs just a little over 1 lb. This is the smallest of the Voyageur crossbody bags.
Inside the main compartment you’ll find a zippered pocket, a slip pocket, a smartphone pocket, a pen sleeve and a key fob. The front pocket is zippered and U-shaped and acts as an organizer pocket for all your small items that you need at your fingertips. You’ll find another phone pocket and pen loop here along with card slots. A detachable ID tag fob and holder in front and just under the flap can be removed if you use this as an everyday bag. The back features a full length open top pocket to store a map or guide book. A zippered pocket built into the outside of the top flap is nice for carrying tissues, keys, etc.
A leather grab handle on top lets you grab it and go.
NOTE: An updated version of this bag is now available in beige and black. The main differences are no flap pocket or open top back pocket but instead there’s a back vertical zippered pocket. It is also shallower in depth at 3″.Click here to see it’s price.
Capri Crossbody Bag
There are similarities to the Lugano bag here, but the Capri Crossbody bag is just a little bit bigger but thinner, doesn’t have a top handle and doesn’t have the top flap. In this older version, in place of the front u-shaped pocket is a straight hidden zippered pocket. The back features a slip pocket with magnetic closure. The main compartment features two slip pockets, 1 zipped pocket and pen loops. A detachable ID tag with mirror is located on the front.
It is currently available in garnet red and emerald green and measures 10″ x 10.25″ x 2″ and weighs 14 oz.
NOTE: The newer version is available in plain black and black floral and in addition to the two outer pockets on the old version, there is also a U-shaped organizer pocket right in front. Find it on Amazon.com now!
Sadler Crossbody Bag
This is the largest of the three Tumi Voyageur crossbody bags, measuring 11″ x 13.5″ x 2″ and weighing 13 ozs. You can stuff a sweater in here along with a few other travel essentials.
The Sadler Crossbody Bag’s main compartment opens with a straight zipper on top. Inside you’ll find a large zip pocket and one smaller slip pocket. In front are two u-shaped pockets with zippers that are good for your phone, travel documents, etc. There is also a full length rear slip pocket to hold snacks or a magazine. A detachable tag holder is placed right below the start of the shoulder strap.
