<p>Banana Republic is constantly surprising me with chic, affordable bags. I love the chain embossed mini cross-body because it&#8217;s a classic style, made of embossed leather in beautiful spring colors &#8211; teal glaze, citron green and bronze. The cross-body can be carried three different ways: wear it across the body; drop the chain down to wear on your belt; or double the chain to wear as a shoulder bag.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7003" title="Banana Republic Chain embossed mini cross-body-inside" src="http://www.handbagreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Picture-35.png" alt="Banana Republic Chain embossed mini cross-body-inside" width="160" height="168" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7004" title="Banana Republic Chain embossed mini cross-body-side" src="http://www.handbagreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Picture-39.png" alt="Banana Republic Chain embossed mini cross-body-side" width="155" height="199" /><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7005" title="Banana Republic Chain embossed mini cross-body-back" src="http://www.handbagreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Picture-38.png" alt="Banana Republic Chain embossed mini cross-body-back" width="161" height="163" /></p>
<p>Additional features include turnlock closure, cotton lining, and inner pocket. Price: $69.50 at <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=45434&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=720870&amp;scid=720870002" target="_blank">Banana Republic</a>.</p>
