Which White Elm Crossbody Is Right for You?

Which White Elm Crossbody Is Right for You?

Not all crossbody bags are created equal. Some are compact for just the essentials, while others give you a little extra room for the day’s must-haves. At White Elm, three of our most-loved small bags — the Skye Sling, Ara Crossbody, and Rosette Crossbody — are designed with different lifestyles in mind. Here’s a detailed comparison to help you find the one that fits your needs perfectly.

Skye Sling: Streamlined and Hands-Free

Dimensions: 8.75" Length × 5.25" Height × 1.25" Depth

The Skye Sling is our slimmest crossbody silhouette, designed for minimal carry. Despite its compact size, it’s big on function:

  • Built-in wallet with card slots

  • Interior zippered pocket and outside pocket for your phone

  • Adjustable strap to wear crossbody or over the shoulder

What it fits: Phone, keys, cards, lip gloss, and small daily essentials.

Best for: Travel days, concerts, errands, and moments when you want to stay hands-free and lightweight without sacrificing style.

Ara Crossbody: Sleek Everyday Companion

Dimensions: 9.25" Length × 6.25" Height × 1.5" Depth

The Ara Crossbody is slim but larger than Skye, giving you more space without becoming bulky. It features:

  • Zippered main compartment

  • Two interior pockets for organization

  • Wristlet strap to wear as a clutch

  • Adjustable strap for comfortable wear

What it fits: Phone, wallet, keys, small essentials, hand sanitizer, or makeup compact.

Best for: Daily wear, casual weekends, or transitioning from errands to dinner. Ara is your polished everyday option when you need sleek style with just enough room.

Rosette Crossbody: Spacious Yet Chic

Dimensions: 8.5" Base × 3.75" Depth × 11" Opening × 6.25" Height

Although its rounded silhouette makes it appear petite, the Rosette Crossbody actually offers more capacity than both the Skye and Ara. Its slightly deeper base means more flexibility in what you can carry. It includes:

  • Structured body with rounded opening

  • Three Interior pockets for small essentials

  • Detachable, adjustable strap for shoulder or crossbody wear

What it fits: Phone, wallet, sunglasses, keys, small device, and a few extras.

Best for: Brunches, special occasions, or when you want a bag that feels both functional and fashionable. Rosette combines chic structure with enough space to handle more than just the basics.
