Shoulder bag
A bit of history
Not so long ago, the female part of the population wore clutches only in their hands. They were a kind of slightly oversized purses. The lack of handles made it impossible to combine this accessory with a casual outfit. For practicality, a strap began to be attached to them, which made it possible to carry a handbag over the shoulder. The main advantage of such a handbag is that when wearing it, your hands always remain free.
For several seasons in a row, a shoulder bag has not gone out of fashion. The modern version of this model is very popular with both modern fashionistas who follow the latest trends and ladies who prefer the classic style of clothing.
