sling bags

One-strap shoulder carriers

A sling bag is a small bag worn diagonally across the body, with a single strap running from one shoulder to the opposite hip.

Unlike backpacks or messenger bags, sling bags sit compact against the torso—often at the chest or lower back—for quick access while keeping hands free: I keep my phone and wallet in a sling bag when I travel.
