as if some handbag designers knew I was turning 50, so, they started making a lot more shoulder bags.
I am in excellent shape, eat right, workout often, 5'7, size 6, yada yada...and I have noticed if I wear a shoulder bag no matter how light (even an evening bag with little in it), my shoulder and neck hurt me a lot the next day, yet, when i carry a handheld handbag such as a speedy, I'm fine.
I have focused more on handheld bags with a shoulder option when I need hands free for a few minutes, crossbody bags and when I feel like a minimalist, I use a pouchette.
My taste is also changing a bit from when I was much younger.
I wanted to see what other over 50 handbag ladies feel about this and what handbags,, (all brands) they find themselves loving these days. I couldn't figure out how to start a new thread until I was in one, so, if this is the wrong place, please tell me how to move this to a more general handbag discussion thread. I would appreciate your input as I am a newbie here.
Thanks all
