Handbags, shoulder bags or rucksacks?

I've noticed that different people like different bags (obviously we can't all be the same). So what type of bag do you prefer the most?

I prefer shoulder bags or rucksacks because I don't like holding things in my hand and it's less easy for a mugger to grab them off me.



PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10 or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.

I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.

Handbag, sometimes shoulder bag....I dont like rucksacks, mostly because the last 2 times ive had a rucksack ive been pick pocketed.




There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.

ALL the bags.

Or mainly shoulder bags or rucksacks, because they're more comfortable.

For me it depends on what I'm doing. Like a handbag is nice if you're dressed up & going out. But for Uni or going away for a day or two I would use a rucksack. Then usually when I'm staying at my boyfriends house I would have a shoulder bag.

Day to day though, if I can I prefer to put things in my pockets & not carry a bag at all.

My handbag is a shoulder bag! But it has fairly short shoulder straps.

I do prefer a handshoulder bag. But for book, lunch, work stuff, I have a brilliant shoulder bag for that! So, I, like, use 2 bags!

Shoulder bags. I'm not really into hand bags. I like having my hands free, and be able to fit my sketch book and other random stuff in it. I like rucks sacks and have used them for work, but because I'm so short I feel like I look like a school kid from behind wearing them.

Shoulder bags hurt my back, but i feel safer because i can see them, unlike rucksacks, even though they are comfortable. I have a great handbag thats unrobbable, because the zip is dangly and i play with it constantly so noone could open it without me knowing

I like having my hands free. I find having my fairly small shoulder bag works for storing my freedom pass, money, sanitising gel, tissues and meds, because I can access it quickly. But for bigger things like books I use my rucksack. My friend bought me a Swiss Army Knife rucksack which is made of tough material, and is comfortable.

See i have the opposite problem, the bags i wear are the really long ones so they sort of should be down at your bum, but as im so tall most of them are really short on me and looks silly.

Rucksacks. I used to cart around heavy books and my laptop in either a shoulder bag or a briefcase and it really messed up my back so now I can't carry them for long without getting back pain. Rucksacks all the way!

Except when it's a dressy uppy occasion or I don't have to carry anything that weighs anything.

Depends on what and how much I'm carrying. If it's something small, or light then it'll be an over-the-shoulder bag, but if it's something more substantial it'll be a rucksack. Never been mugged/pickpocketed/anything nasty and I spend a lot of time in Glasgow!

Over the shoulder hand bags. Rucksacks make me paranoid I'm going to get pick pocketed.
