Woven Shoulder Bags
Woven and smooth shoulder bags with a single strap, worn on the shoulder or under the arm.
A shoulder bag sits on one strap, high and close to the body — shorter than a crossbody and less slouchy than a hobo. It is the shape to pick when you want the bag out of the way but still easy to reach into. This collection covers woven shoulder bags, ruched and gathered shapes, east-west underarm bags and chain-strap styles for evenings.

Shoulder, crossbody or hobo
- Shoulder bag — one strap, worn high on the shoulder or tucked under the arm
- Crossbody — longer adjustable strap worn across the body, hands free
- Hobo — soft and deep, slouches around whatever is inside
Strap drop
Strap drop is the distance from the top of the strap to the top of the bag. Around 20cm sits under the arm, 25–30cm sits on the hip, and anything longer is really a crossbody. The product pages give the bag's own measurements and say whether the strap is adjustable; message us if you need an exact drop for a particular style.
Looking after a woven bag
- Wipe the weave with a barely damp cloth and let it dry away from direct heat
- Stuff the bag when you store it so the weave keeps its shape
- Keep it out of long spells of direct sun — coated finishes fade before they crack
- Do not machine wash or dry clean any of these styles
Materials
Everything here is made from vegan leather (PU) or a textile such as polyester, canvas or nylon — no animal leather is used anywhere in the range. The exact material is printed on each product page under Material, next to the measurements for every size that style comes in.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a shoulder bag and a crossbody bag?
A shoulder bag has a shorter strap and rests on one shoulder or under the arm. A crossbody has a longer, usually adjustable strap worn diagonally across the body. Several styles here convert between the two.
Can I wear these crossbody?
Some, yes — the ones with an adjustable or detachable long strap. The feature line on each product page says whether the strap adjusts and whether it comes off.
Which shoulder bags are woven?
Most of this collection. The woven ones say so in the product name; the rest are smooth or pebbled vegan leather.
Are these bags real leather?
No. Every bag on Xookool is made from vegan leather (PU) or a textile such as polyester, canvas or nylon. We list the material on each product page so you can check before you order.
How long does delivery take?
Orders ship worldwide with tracking. Current processing and transit times for your country are set out in full on the shipping policy page.
Can I return a bag if the size is wrong?
Yes, within the return window set out on the refund policy page. Every product page lists the exact dimensions for each size, so it is worth measuring against a bag you already own first.
