SLING BAGS

Shanus — Fri, 02 May 2025 11:45:30 GMT

Not to offend anyone who has loves them, but a bag that hangs between your "ta tas"? I tried one on in Altheta and it looked really weid and I'm almost flat chested. I think it would be uncomfortable for women who are bigger chested.

What do you think about them?

I'm with you, just not a fan of them. They remind me of a fanny pack gone wrong!

I'm not a fan of sling bags, but if you do like them Costco has one for $11.99 online or in the warehouse for less. I believe there are some color choices. Here's a picture of it.

Don't like them.

My daughter wears one.

Not a look I am going for.

Do not like the look. A small under arm bag looks more attractive (to me) and much more comfortable. I also do not care for the shape.

@Shanus

I'm probably "built" similar to you: Short and NOT "voluptuous". I'd rather wear a "statement" gold necklace (!!!) di

@Desertdi That's another issue with my jewelry getting caught up with them. When I tried the one on, my necklaces that I always wear got caught and almost broke taking it off.

I love them! I love being hands free. I own a couple of MZ Wallace sling bags. I'm buying this one in the raffia. It looks like it could hold my full wallet. For reference, I am small, 5 ft, 98 pounds and small chested and they work great for me.

Maybe not for me, but I see them everywhere!!!

Young moms, ladies w/ canes, gals of all ages.

It is VERY current.

Don't see their purpose. Too small and awkward. Another fad??? A crossbody works the same way and more versatile.

I think they can look really cute on others, but I don't like them on me. I have one that I got at a really good price just to try it, but it's not my best look. I actually feel the same about regular cross-body bags. I love them on others but not on me!

@Shanus I bought the IHPWIP sling/crossbody (A684781) bag when it was a TSV about a month ago. I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet but plan on carrying it as a crossbody, never across my chest.

Carmie — Fri, 02 May 2025 12:56:11 GMT

I have one of those bags from years ago. It's black leather and looks EXACTLY like the TSV.

I stopped using it because it was considered "old lady" and everyone made fun of them.

Now, all of a sudden, they are back in fashion.

I won't be buying a Fanny pack again. I've been there, done that already. This style will probably not last and will be an old lady bag again.

I'll stick to cross body bags. I am an old lady, but don't want to look like one.

How does this differ from fanny packs? (Which I had but never used in the old days when they were popular.)

@Krimpette I had those too back in the 1990s. I used it once when we were in Disney (I had purchased a Disney fanny bag) and dug it out a couple of other times when I was selling at a craft show.

I wore that around my waist.

Not a fan at all - would rather wear a short strapped shoulder.

I did try one on at a store and it was awkward, felt uncomfortable. I'll stay with my small crossbody

Not interested at all. I prefer form with my function.
