Ah, the preteen years—the time when toys start to collect dust, and suddenly it’s all about looking good. Makeup, accessories, clothes—even at this age, when you look nice, you feel good, and that confidence shines through. And I fully support that—I’m all in for helping my girls feel confident in their skin. Let’s not forget that accessories are simply…accessories.
So with that, let’s talk about one of the top accessories for preteen girls…handbags:
Chevron Quilted Crossbody Hand Bag (My Pick)
I got this one for both of my daughters (in different colors, of course, because we can’t have a handbag twin situation). With several color options, you’re sure to find something your preteen girl will love. It’s super cute with a zipper closure, adjustable strap, and just enough pockets—1 magnetic snap pocket outside, 1 zipper pocket, and 1 slip pocket inside. It’s also 8.25″ (W) x 6″ (H) x 2″ (D), which is a great size for a preteen who wants to feel all grown up without lugging around a suitcase.
Multi Pocket Crossbody Handbag (My Pick #2)
I went a little wild with the girl handbags last year and got this one too! My girls had officially outgrown their “kid-looking” bags. Time for an upgrade! This one has multiple color options, you might have a hard time choosing just one (I know I did). It’s got a zipper closure, adjustable strap, 1 rear slip pocket, 2 card slots, and 1 slip pocket inside—because apparently, preteens need ALL the pockets. At 6″ (W) x 8″ (H) x 3″ (D), it’s another perfectly sized bag for the essentials.
Cross Body Fanny Pack
Okay, so fanny packs are back. Who saw that coming? But honestly, I’m kind of into it. This one has great reviews and tons of colors to choose from. I personally prefer wearing it as a crossbody instead of the old-school around-the-waist vibe. It’s adjustable, which is great, and measures 7.5” x 2” x 5”. Practical and kinda cute, right?
CHALA Dazzled Cell Phone Crossbody Handbag
Now, if your preteen is all about a little extra flair, this one is super fun. We have the turtle version, and I just love how unique it is! It’s got 8 different options, so there’s plenty of room to find one that fits your kiddo’s personality. It’s smaller, perfect for carrying the basics—like a wallet or phone—but it packs a punch in the style department.
Crossbody Small Sling Backpack
Great for running errands, traveling, or just hanging out. It’s compact enough not to be bulky but big enough to hold all the essentials—wallet, phone, and whatever else preteens need these days (I’m still trying to figure that out).
If your preteen is starting to eye your handbags and wants to step up their style game, these options are great starting points. They’ll love the grown-up feel, and you’ll love how practical and affordable they are. Plus, a cute girl handbag? It’s like the gateway accessory to a whole new world of confidence. Happy shopping!
