Women's Shoulder Bags: 5 Things to Check Before You Buy

A shoulder bag is the step up from a crossbody: more room, a more finished look, and enough structure for work. Before you choose one, check these five things.

1. Size: what does your day need?

A medium bag of around 21×27 cm holds a wallet, phone, makeup pouch and a small water bottle. A larger Boston bag of around 32×23×20 cm takes a full day's things, or a short trip. Check the size in centimetres on each product page.

2. Handles and straps

Two top handles are easy to carry by hand or in the crook of your arm. An extra long strap gives you a second way to carry the bag when your hands are full, and several of our models include one.

3. Structure

A structured bag keeps its shape, stands on its own and looks right at work. A softer bag is lighter and more relaxed for outings.

4. Inside

Compartments and a zipped inner pocket stop your keys and cards from sinking to the bottom. A zip closure keeps everything in place.

5. Colour and details

Beige, black and brown work across seasons. Metal details, a chain or a checkered print add character without limiting what you can wear it with.
