Recommend a Crossbody Bag Please

[melaniesc]

So in an earlier post I had someone suggested I get my sister a crossbody bag for her going away present (she's going to be in Japan for a year).
Any suggestions? I want something stylish and functional and ideally one that can hold an Ipad. It doesn't have to be an iPad specific case though because I want it to function as more of a purse for her. Thanks!.

I like the Tano Zippy Bucket. It's a hobo with a removable crossbody strap. It should hold an ipad in a case and more. Their bags are leather in a range of colors, good quality, and really functional. The Zippy Bucket has 2 exterior zip pockets, one interior zip pocket, and two slit pockets. Musthavebag.com sells a lot of styles and has 20% off for Labor Day. The bags can be cared for with Lexol Oil to keep them looking new or can develop and awesome distressed vintage look. There's usually a few crossbody convertible styles to choose from. They also put them on a mannequin for scale and have a list of what fits in the bag. I have 4 bags from this label and love all of them. I like MHB since it's a small business owned by 2 WAHMs who have excellent customer service. You should get free shipping, but I think you have to pay for returns.

I love my Vera Bradley Hipster and it fits my ipad, large checkbook wallet, and more
