Do you carry your bag on the left or right side?

[afsweet]

right & right. i can't stand carrying a bag on my left shoulder, yet i always carry handbags on my left forearm if they don't have a long enough drop to wear on my shoulder.

 

[frick&frack]

I'm right handed, but I carry my bags on my left shoulder or left arm. I like my right hand to be free.

i'm right handed, carry on my right shoulder but left arm.

If it's tote bag it's right shoulder, if it's messenger bag it's strap on left shoulder with the bag against my right hand.

I'm right handed and I chose right shoulder, left hand

 

[HauteMama]

I am right-handed, although I think that was forced on me when I was young, as I tend to be left-eye dominant and left foot dominant. But anyway, I almost always carry a shoulder bag on the left shoulder or a hand-held bag on the left arm.

I voted right shoulder, right handed. But, if I'm carrying a hand held I usually carry it on my left side. I have no idea why.

I do the same, to keep my right hand free.

Right shoulder, left-handed...I like to dig around w/my left hand. It feels funny on my left shoulder.

Ok so far 50% of respondents voted right shoulder right-handed. Since most handbags/purses/totes are made with zippers that open from left to right (i.e. when you're facing the front of the bag), then wearing such a bag on your right shoulder means you have to stretch your arm to the back to open the bag while wearing it. How do you manage that, as I don't have eyes behind me, can't see what I'm digging for.

For those of you who have bags with zippers running right to left, or with double zipper tabs, what brands may they be?
As far as I know, Kipling makes their zippers right to left, but I'm not really into their designs much.

I usually carry on my left arm/shoulder, but am right handed. Of course I do switch back and forth, and I carry my really heavy skate bag on my right shoulder

Right-handed, and I always wear my bag on my left shoulder. It feels really strange on my right shoulder, like it's going to fall off or something.

 

[Chromatopelma]

I'm right handed and keep my bag on my right shoulder. If I try to put a bag on my left shoudler it just falls off, I can't keep it there lol. My friend said I was strange for the whole right hand/right shoulder thing as she's right handed and likes to have it on her left shoulder so she can reach in and get things out using her right hand.

i switch it up, but i think im more left shoulder/hand dominant with my bags...and im a rightie

I'm right handed, but always carry my bag on the left side, whether it is a shoulder bag, satchel, whatever. It is easier for me to get into the bag and my right hand is free.
