This page features handbags with shoulder straps, one of the more popular styles as ladies can keep their hands free while carrying one. The strap length can be high-shoulder (worn with bag nestled under the upper arm), or long (bag rests at the hips). However, many of these offer optional shorter strap options, check the item description carefully!
