sling bag

One-strap carrier

A sling bag is a small bag with a single strap worn diagonally across the body, resting against the back or chest.

Unlike a backpack's two straps or a messenger bag's larger size, the sling bag offers quick access and minimal bulk: He kept his phone and wallet in a sling bag for the hike.

Popular for travel and casual use.
