While a spacious carry-on bag and durable suitcase top the list of most valuable pieces of luggage to have in your arsenal, the importance of a compact crossbody bag shouldn’t be overlooked.
A belt bag that is large enough to hold your wallet, phone, keys, and headphones (but is also compact enough to sit flush along your body) can make navigating an airport and a new city equally as easy. If you’re in the market for a belt bag that is functional and affordable, Target’s wide selection of pieces includes this Universal Thread Essential Belt Crossbody Bag that comes in six color options and is just $10.

The Essential Belt Crossbody Bag has a simple design that reviewers compare to the viral style from Lululemon, which costs $38. One shopper who owns the Lululemon version said they felt like they were “wearing the same thing,” while another confirmed that it “looks the exact same for a fraction of the price.”
While this bag is compact, the main pocket is large enough to hold essential items that are important to keep close-by while traveling like a phone and wallet. One customer said it was spacious enough to fit all of their stuff “without it being bulky,” and a second person called it a “roomy” option that is ideal for concerts. Inside the main section are two zip pockets for keeping smaller items like chapstick and AirPods organized and easy to find.
In addition to the main compartment, this bag also has an exterior zip pocket along the back of the bag where it rests against your body. This discreet area is ideal for holding important items like a passport, credit cards, or cash. One reviewer said they like that they can keep “more valuable items” in this pocket because it sits close to your body “no matter how you wear” the bag.
The strap is adjustable to provide a comfortable fit, whether you use it as a crossbody bag or a more traditional fanny pack, and the nylon material makes it easy to wipe clean. While you can snag this bag in shades like black, tan, purple, green, and white, it also comes in a clear option, which is ideal for events that require a see-through bag.
Whether you have fall travel plans on the calendar or are looking for a convenient belt bag for everyday use, snag this $10 option from Target that holds all of the essentials.
