The only bag style I don't tend to gravitate towards is the Hobo. I love satchels the most but also enjoy totes. Cross bodies are great for traveling or a night out. Love structured and slouchy! I love almost all bags :)
 
Looking at my collection I mainly have three shapes. Duffle style bags (Speedy 40 Bandouliere, Keepall 50 Bandouliere), messenger bags (Abbesses) and briefcases (Porte Document Voyage, Porte Document Voyage PM - in the works and Laguito PM - in the works). Then I have a few outliers such as a bucket bag (Noe), a tall narrow boxy open tote style (Sac Plat) and finally a floppy casual open tote style (Saint Laurent men's croc embossed tote - in the works).

I am constantly changing my mind about which style of bag I prefer to use. One day I think I am a shoulder bag girl, the next I think I'm a crossbody lover, and then the next I only use top handles. I know there are different uses for each bag and each one has its place in your wardrobe, but if you could only have one bag, what would you tend towards? I think my back would prefer if I used top handle, and my most favourite bag is the Speedy, yet I hardly use it due to needing hands free on public transport. I do find shoulder bags are annoying, I have small shoulders and the straps always fall down which I then curse all day at the bag, so crossbody bags are my preference, although hate using them crossbody due to the weird shape they give me in between my boobage area. Is there such a thing as the perfect bag?
I think for me there is The Perfect Bag for a certain place and occasion such as woc, crossbody, top handle, clutch, I just love them all. The only bag I can't do anymore is backpack.
 
I prefer totes and shoulder bags that can turn into crossbody bags. Pockets is also important for me. I tend to choose bags with more pockets. I don't like bags with no top zip. Top zip is very important for me.
 
I love slouchy shoulder bags! Always have!

But lately I am carrying top handle bags more often due to shoulder issues. It has been an adjustment. I have some pretty top handle bags, so that helps.

I have a few crossbody bags, but I rarely use those. Not sure why.

I'm pretty much the same...love a slouchy bag, and don't like structured bags at all. Mostly because slouchy bags don't sit well against the body, and given that I only carry shoulder bags, they need to seamlessly lay against my body.
Can't do top handles! Not practical for my life, because I need to be hands-free.

I also own a few cross-body bags, but I don't wear them because I personally can't stand how the strap sits in between my boobs and cuts my whole outfit in half! lol
