A duffel bag can be reversibly converted to a cross-over bag by restricting the storage volume of the bag at one end. Optionally, a carrying strap may be adjusted from a central anchor to an outer anchor to facilitate draping the carrying strap over a shoulder.

1. A bag comprising: a storage compartment having a volume, the volume defined by:a top wall,a bottom wall opposite the top wall,first and second end walls, the first and second end walls opposite one another and joining the top and bottom walls, the first end wall joining the top wall at a first junction and joining the bottom wall at a second junction,a first side wall disposed between the top wall and the bottom wall and between the first and second end walls, anda second side wall opposite the first side wall, the second side wall disposed between the top wall and the bottom wall and between the first end wall and second end walls;a storage compartment accessible from outside the storage compartment by an opening in one or more of the walls;an adjustment mechanism coupled near the first junction, the adjustment mechanism collapsing the first end wall and reducing the volume proximal to the first end wall by reducing a distance between the first junction and the second junction, wherein the adjustment mechanism does not traverse a substantial portion of the first side wall; anda strap joined to the bag near the first junction and joined to the bag near a third junction between the top wall and the second end wall;wherein the strap is coupled to the bag near the second junction, and wherein the adjustment mechanism includes a slidable fastener that is fixedly coupled to the bag near the first junction and is slidably attached to the strap, such that slidably adjusting the slidable fastener along the strap modifies the distance between the first junction and the second junction. 2. The bag of claim 1, wherein the second end wall includes an area and wherein the area remains substantially unchanged when the distance is reduced. 3. The bag of claim 1 further comprising, a second strap joined along the first side wall. 4. The bag of claim 1, wherein the strap comprises a cushioning strap support. 5. The bag of claim 1, wherein the slidable fastener comprises a webbing slide, a camming slide, or a buckle. 6. The bag of claim 1, wherein collapsing the first end wall comprises reducing a depth of the bag at the first end by 60-90%. 7. The bag of claim 1, wherein collapsing the first end wall alters a depth of the bad at the second end by less than 20%. 8. The bag of claim 1, further comprising a strap support slidably attached to the strap, wherein the adjustment mechanism is attached to the strap support. 9. The bag of claim 1, further comprising a waist strap. 10. The bag of claim 1, wherein the bag includes a length to depth ratio of about 2:1 when the first end wall is not collapsed. 11. The bag of claim 1, wherein the adjustment mechanism includes a first mating component attached to the bag near the first junction and a second mating component attached near the second junction, and wherein the first mating component releasably connects to the second mating component to reduce the distance. 12. The bag of claim 11, wherein the first mating component is attached to the strap. 13. The bag of claim 12, wherein a length of the strap is not reduced by mating the first mating component with the second mating component. 14. The bag of claim 1 further comprising, a first strap anchor coupled to the bag near the third junction, anda second strap anchor coupled to the bag near the third junction, the first strap anchor positioned closer to the first side than the second strap anchor, the strap being releasably attachable to the first strap anchor and releasably attachable to the second strap anchor. 15. The bag of claim 14, further comprising a third anchor near the second end wall. 16. The bag of claim 1, further comprising a pocket on an exterior of the first end wall. 17. The bag of claim 16, wherein the pocket has an opening, and the opening is proximal to the first side wall. 18. The bag of claim 17, wherein the pocket has a second opening and the second opening is proximal to the second side wall. 19. A method for converting a duffel bag to a cross-body bag, the duffel bag including a flexible storage compartment having a volume defined by at least a top wall, a bottom wall, a first end, and a second end, the method comprising: reducing the volume proximal the first end to create a restricted volume, without substantially reducing the volume proximal the second end, by reducing a distance between the top wall proximal the first end and the bottom wall proximal the first end;wherein reducing the distance includes releasably connecting a first mating component, which is positioned near a top junction between the top wall and the first end, to a second mating component, which is positioned near a bottom junction between the first end and the bottom wall, and wherein releasably connecting the first mating component to the second mating component also retains a cushioned strap support near the first end. 20. The method of claim 19 further comprising, adjusting a carrying strap of the bag to extend diagonally across the top wall from the first end to the second end by releasably attaching an end of the carrying strap to a first anchor of a plurality of anchors positioned near the second end.
