Shoulder Bags

Worn on the shoulder on a short strap, sitting under the arm — the quieter alternative to a crossbody.

The thing to check is the strap drop. Under about 25 cm the bag sits high under the arm; above that it falls towards the hip. Neither is better, but they suit different heights and different coats. Pieces here are from Michael Kors, Versace, Moschino, Fendi and Balenciaga.
