At first glance, the Crissy Full Crossbody and the Verona Crossbody look like twins. They share the same size, shape, and anti-theft, water resistant features.
The Crissy is our "OG" crossbody that is tried and tested, the Verona is her sophisticated, slightly more organized younger sister.
Let’s dive into the details to see which one belongs in your suitcase!
At a Glance: The Key Differences
While both bags are designed to hold your essentials (yes, both fit a standard 16.9 oz water bottle!), the main differences lie in the exterior material and the pocket layout.

Verona Crossbody on Left and Crissy Full Crossbody on Right:
1. Material:
The biggest "tell" between these two is what they’re made of.
- The Crissy Full: Made from high-quality water resistant rubber backed nylon. The nylon body is easy to wipe down and incredibly durable. We have a clean and care guide for any stains.
- The Verona: Made from microfiber faux leather. This gives the bag a beautiful high-end look. It still offers water resistance, but it feels more like a traditional designer handbag. It’s the bag you take to a Michelin-star dinner after a day of sightseeing.
2. Pockets & Organization: The "Extra" Mile
The Verona takes the Crissy’s layout and adds a few upgrades:
- The Back Slip Pocket: One of the most requested features! The Verona includes a back pocket, perfect for sliding your phone or boarding pass in for quick access while you're on the move.
- The Interior Long Pocket: Inside the main compartment, the Verona adds an extra long wall pocket, giving you one more spot to separate your tech (like a power bank) from your snacks.
We are updating Crissy Crossbodies to have the same back slip pocket and interior long pocket for select colors! Right now, here are the colors with these pockets:
- Black-gold
- Black-gunmetal
- Cream
- Chocolate Brown
- Black-Brown-Gold
- Forest Green
3. Anti-theft & Water Resistant
Regardless of which you choose, you aren't sacrificing security. Both bags come with our favorite anti-theft features:
- Slash-resistant lining all around the body of the bag.
- Locking zippers to deter pickpockets.
- Cut-proof straps reinforced with internal steel cables.
- Locking Strap Clasps to resure the bags
- RFID-blocking materials to protect your digital data.
- YKK Water resistant zippers keep rain and spills out.
4. Weight
A common question is which is lighter, but both bags are actually the same weight!
5. How it's worn:
Both bags come with a strap of your choice! All strap options have locking hardware and are reinforced with steel cable to be slash resistant (other than the chain strap which is metal).
