Hudson Sling Bag

The details

This crossbody bag features an adjustable woven strap, which means the bag can be worn across your chest or your back. It's crafted from timeless suede and available in seven vintage-inspired shades.

The bag also has two convenient zippered pockets to help you stay organized on the go. With a hands-free design, the Hudson sling bag is an ideal choice for bringing along to music festivals, weekend errands, or just day-to-day use.

What people are saying

⭐️ 4.3/5 stars

💬 500+ ratings

🏆 "Perfect sling bag with great pockets and nice material."

The Hudson Sling Bag has earned a 4.3-star rating from more than 500 customer reviews. Although small, shoppers have found that it's large enough to hold all of your daily essentials.

One person said, "I am a minimalist and one-bag type of gal...This bag has accompanied me on a year's worth of travel, countless hikes, hundreds of errand runs" — but that's not all — "and of course going out and looking cute, too."

"I waffled about buying this but wound up receiving it for my birthday," wrote one reviewer. "Fits exactly what I need: cell phone, wallet, sunglasses, lip balm, keys, and whatever else I may need like a mask, small pill container, gum. I don't have to dig around to find things, it's lightweight, and fits comfortably."

"This is my second sling bag. They're perfect because they're more casual than a crossbody but more secure than a tote. [Free People] quality is great as usual, may actually order in more colours," said another shopper.

Shoppers have called the bag "convenient and cute" — although it does have some drawbacks. Since the bag is made entirely out of suede in most colours, it is prone to scuffs and marks if you don't treat it with a suede protectant before use.

Others noted that the zippers are delicate and can separate from the bag with too much force, which left one shopper to write that they "expected more for the price!"

The verdict

Since the Hudson Sling Bag has become a favourite among shoppers, it has now become a staple style at Free People. Fans have called it the "perfect size sling bag," with room for all of your everyday must-haves.

Others were less impressed by this bag since its $113 CAD/$78 USD price tag is on the higher side. For those who are looking for an on-trend everyday bag, the Hudson Sling Bag may be a good choice. However, be cautious of the zippers, which may get finicky.
