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

Which side do you prefer most?

  • Left

  • Right

  • Either side don't matter. I'm comfortable and switch between both.

  • It depends on where I wear it, like my arm, shoulder, hand, etc. Combo of both.

I am right handed and I use to carry my bags in my right shoulder or hand.

Results of the survey surprise me. I used to think that most of people carry their bags in their left shoulder because when I carry bags in my right shoulder the zipper is near my back. :confused1:
 
i've always carried mine on my left side. even when i wear a crossbody, left hip. i'm right handed.

this.

I dont know why.. I just cant carry my bags on the right.. it bugs me. Maybe its because its my dominant side? I find it easier to carry my purse this way when Im shopping for sure, so i can use my right hand to pick up stuff, lol
 
Hmmm, very interesting thread! I really haven't given this much thought, but it is interesting that I'm right-handed, but I've always carried my handbags on my left shoulder. A few years back, when I hurt my left arm, it felt strange to wear a handbag on my right shoulder. When I wear a crossbody, the strap has to be on my left shoulder and the handbag MUST rest at my right hip. If not, I feel so out-of-sorts that I cannot wear the handbag.

:heart:
 
Interesting. I carry shoulder bags on right. I carry hand-held bags with my left hand more often because I need the right hand/arm free (right handed).

p.s. I just realized I answered this question 3 years ago LOL
