Do you prefer to carry a clutch, a handbag or a shoulder bag? I like the shoulder bag as it gives me freedom in my hands. Which do you prefer?

I carry a large shoulder bag that fits over me so my hands are free. The only time I carry a smaller bag is when I am wearing a formal dress.

For a night on the town, I don't need all the things I need for regular days.

Hi there. I like using my black leather shoulder bag, I can easily have it crossed over and handy to reach in and out of, also it does leave my hands free to do properly look at things...

I think I prefer a hand bag. I hardly ever use a clutch. I know that wearing a purse on your shoulder is bad for our backs and necks, but sometimes it just can't be helped. But overall, I think a hand bag.

Yeah, it can cause long term pain, but you know what they say, if you'rE comfortable, you're not fashionable. LOL

Only when I get really dressed up. Otherwise it's a shoulder bag and I can tell with I get too much change in it as you are right that it hurts the shoulder.

I prefer handbags, but I carry them on my shoulder. Lol. I don't know but lately I've been into REALLY huge bags, I can't get enough! I just love the feeling of dumping all my stuff in there and knowing that every single thing I need is in my bag with me. Haha!

Isn't it amazing what you can shove into it? I think I could actually do a manicure on someone! LOL

I'm like you, in the sense I prefer not to have to carry a bag around with me, the whole time - knowing me, I'd probably end up leaving it on the bus, or dropping it, or something. I like having a bag on my shoulder, I just don't like it when it keeps slipping down, and you have to keep hoisting it back up. That gets on my last nerve, I'm afraid.

i like all bags.. but i usually go for shoulder bags because they're easier to carry around everyday. if i'm going somewhere special though i'll go for one of my smaller handbags. i don't own a clutch though. i like bags better if they have some sort of strap on them.

Good point. A clutch gets awkward when you are looking for a place to lay it!

I prefer a shoulder bag...then I can carry everything that I or anyone that I am near would possibly need. Also I can carry my complete manicure kit, a scissors to cut up my hefty folder full of coupons, my makeup in case I get caught in the rain, combs for my hair, kleenex just in case I get a cold, all of my checkbooks, a tupperware container for my flavored coffeemate, credit cards and identification that I would need to go overseas or out of the country...just in case I go someday...lots of sales slips, my hand wipes in case I get dirt on my hands, mosquito lotion in case of bugs, a map just in case I get lost and a magnifying glass in case I want to look at something small...and anything that I can think of that I absolutely need to go anywhere. I am kidding but it seems as though I take along way too much stuff...so a clutch purse wouldn't hold enough stuff. I make sure that I change my purse from one shoulder to the other so I don't get lopsided. Haha.

You truly are a crazy lady! LOL I think I carry that much stuff sometimes too......and when it gets too heavy I have to ditch some of it! Thanks for responding!

Hello!I prefer carry the shoulder bag to handbag.But your idea and mine don't quite hang together.I think we can present at the party with a brilliant handbag.If I go shopping in the usual time,I always carry a shoulder bag.

I like fashionable shoulder bags, sometimes I'll carry a clutch.

Yup.....shoulder bag for everyday and a clutch for dressing up. They seem to make the clutches more dressy. Thanks for posting!
