Here are some of my shoulder bags.
Bottega Veneta.
For the Balenciagas, the top row are shoulder bags.
Michael Kors.
The next two are Coach. The last one has a strap long enough to wear crossbody but I almost always wear it as a shoulder bag.

These are all beautiful- my favourites are your BVs and Bals, the saturated colours and gorgeous leathers!

For crossbody week:
Like others have stated, I like crossbody bags because they are so easy to use. That being said, I only have a few I consider just crossbody. I do have several though that I always wear crossbody.

I love your Peonia Soho Disco.

I like orange and dark (chocolate) brown better, so I might try to put some outfits and accessories together with those colors in mind.

Like @afroken I too feel that we all define shoulder bags a bit differently. I prefer shoulder bags to have a single strap, be slightly longer (not sitting right under the armpit), and softly structured. While bags that puddle usually have wonderful leather, the complete lack of structure makes them a challenging wear for me. I don't believe I have any hobo bags that puddle in my collection.

Love the Seaton! I had my eye on this bag for a while, and then it seemed to be gone when I last checked the Mulberry site. Did they discontinue it? I agree with you that semi-structured -- that balance between structured and slouchy -- makes for the most comfortable wear.

Beautiful color -- that leather on the burgundy PS1 just glows!

Thank you! The Seaton is discontinued. The small stayed around for much longer made very popular by the then Dutchess of Cambridge, now Princess of Wales but the full size was discontinued quite quickly. When I bought it I ended up chosing between the the Amberley and the Seaton. I liked the shape of the Seaton more plus that it has an interior with a central zip pocket making it the only mulberry I’ve ever seen with compartments. The Amberley is now only available as a smaller satchel but has become a popular style so in terms of classics or “it” bags I opted for the wrong one but I still think it’s a very sophisticated work bag. It was carried on UK show “The Split” about top Divorce lawyers by the main character for a full season. I’m certain you’d pick one up in one of the outlet stores at a good price. I’m not sure if they’d do a sale over the phone.

Thank you @More bags , @Katinahat , all
I love seeing everyone’s bags; they are all so different.
while I adore slouchy bags and chewy lush leather, like those of @afroken ,
those bags look odd when I wear them. I’ve tried several times with old balenciaga
which I absolutely adore. For my personal style, structured is better.
So, I only kept a few BV that I always loved and purchased at a very good price.

I see you with your structured Hermes when I imagine you with a bag.

The colours in your collection are just amazing! This is truly a style you embrace. Good way to show them too.

Nothing you haven’t all seen before but here are my shoulder bags. I’ve excluded my sliding chain bags and also my totes as they’ve been in other categories.

Coach western crossbody hobo. Love the embelishments and the silver hang tag. Lovely summery bag which I should carry more often!

Mulberry Tessie Hobo in Oxblood, really thick, squishy leather. It’s my colder months shopping bag. Must start using it now autum is here.

And large Loewe Basket, my holiday beauty. It’s bigger than it looks here.

I wish I could see a Mulberry in person…it needs to be on my radar.

I apologize for being so random - between a visit form the Sweet Pea’s Fall Break, a sick employee, and PTO for 2 other employees- things have been busy.

Shoulder bags for me are bags primarily worn on my shoulder, but because I like a top handle too - many of mine have both and I carry them both ways … gee that made a lot of sense!

Dior Be Dior

Ferragamo

Louis Vuitton

There are a few () more, I’ll post them in a few minutes!

Ah, thanks for the info. The small was the size I was eyeing! I like the shape of the Seaton too. It's definitely a classic and timeless style, so I think you made a good choice. Like @BowieFan1971, I wish I could see these bags in person. There is no Mulberry store or outlet near me.

Lovely selection of shoulder bags!

Bottega Veneta.

That blue-green Bottega bag is breathtaking!

A little story time & a reveal.

A little background is needed so you’ll understand why I was running around the house screaming like a crazy person.

I’ve been looking for this color (or similar) for years. The closest I came was a Chanel flap 4/5 years ago that I passed on.

I first saw this on Farfetch last year. Because it was a seasonal color, I thought I would wait for an end of season sale. End of season however, it just disappeared. First miss

It came to outlets earlier this year. By the time I called however, the last one in the U.S. had sold - that morning. Second miss

Get an email from The Outnet about new arrivals. Decide to check it out & what do I find? I’ve never ordered anything so fast in my life.

Ferragamo Studio, small size. Pics don’t do the color justice. It’s a deep fuschia/raspberry IRL. It’s my dream color. Over the moon I was able to get this. Happy Early Birthday to me!
