shoulder bags

Arm-slung totes

Shoulder bags are bags with a strap designed to hang from the shoulder, leaving the hands free.

The category includes purses, messenger bags, and totes.

Unlike crossbody bags, the strap typically rests on one shoulder rather than crossing the chest: She slung her shoulder bag over her arm and headed out.
