Totes are all-purpose bags
which come in a wide variety
of shapes and sizes. A tote
bag combines style, comfort
and versatility, ideal for
holding your cell phone,
cosmetics, purse and small
accessories and some tote bags
are also used to carry pets. A
shoulder bag is a handbag or
purse with at least one strap
attached to it that is long
enough to fit over the
shoulder. The straps generally
are securely reinforced on the
bag. The strap is intended to
be looped over the shoulder so
that the shoulder sustains the
bag and the user can carry it
hands-free. Many college and
high-school students make use
of them for fashionable and
functional purposes,
especially those who commute
on bicycles. Compared to a
backpack, it is much easier to
place and remove text-books,
notebooks, laptop, essays and
supplies from a shoulder bag
because they lie on the side
of the body, granting the
wearer better accessibility.
Military shoulder bags are
perfect for military
personnel, campers, bicyclist,
hikers, fisherman, outdoor
enthusiasts, students,
backpacking and much more.
Shoulder bags are often
preferred to handbags for
carrying heavy loads, because
of the limited capacity to
carry heavy weights for long
periods of time in the hands.
