Where to Get a Good Cross-Body Bag?

I want an affordable, medium-size cross-body bag. I'd prefer a black one with minimal details.

Gladly! Try on this here Kipling shoulder bag for size. Truly minimal detailing, except for one visible zipper pocket on the front. The bag has a little monkey hanging off of it, because every Kipling bag has to have a little monkey hanging off of it, but he's removable, so fret not. Kipling offers several other shoulder bag options you should consider as well, including the Lancelot or the slightly larger Fan Messenger bag.

One more suggestion: LeSportsac. Really. Not every LeSportsac bag has that plexi-pop, Day-Glo printwork that can cause ocular migraines in weaker beings. In fact, I found a very peaceful black bag here. Note the adjustable shoulder strap. And the lack of detail. You're welcome.
