LILY CHROME CROSSBODY PHONE CASE - $158
I’ve been using Bandolier crossbody phone cases for so long that a friend told me she thinks I started the crossbody phone case trend. She’d never seen anyone carrying one before she saw me. Shhh, don’t tell her, but I actually saw it on a celebrity first.
Here’s what I wrote on The Hammock Society blog about the first one I bought, back in 2020:
The Nicole Pebble Leather Crossbody by Bandolier has been my best purchase this summer. It is liberating, like the Knomo London weekend card case I bought eons ago. There are many crossbody bags out there for phones. I looked at quite a few before deciding on the Nicole by Bandolier. The pebbled leather is supple and comfortable, and the gold hardware gives it a bit of a luxe feel. It elevates every outfit, even the t-shirt and shorts I wear to the beach.
I still use that Nicole. Six years later. They don’t even make it anymore.
I’ve never lost my phone while using the crossbody chain. The one time I switched to the wristlet, guess what? I dropped my phone in an Uber. Luckily, the driver was kind enough to return it and didn’t even charge me a fee.
I’m now eyeing this Lily Chrome Set (pictured above) for when I upgrade my phone.
I’ve tried several crossbody phone holders over the years, but I always come back to Bandolier. 10/10 highly recommend!
