I do not like sling bags. I don't like that big lump hanging in front of me and having to move the bag to your side constantly when reaching forward to pick up something from a lower grocery shelf or wherever I'm shopping etc would drive me nuts !!  For those who love them, enjoy your bag.

I'm a person who likes a goodlooking handbag at all times, and this does not even come closed  Ugh.

I think sometimes we have to admit that just because an accessory, a fashion or a beauty look is touted as trendy it doesn't necessarily translate to older women.

I love my "bumbags",  I have several from different luxury brands. I also have a few from Amy's line, I also bought the today's special in raffia. Can't wait to receive it.

They're not my thing.  I have enough boobage without piling something on top. If i need to be hands free i will reluctantly wear a cross body bag on my hip.  

 

I'm a satchel girl.

I did not like these in the 80's and I still don't find them attractive.  I think they are unflattering.  They used to be called Fanny Packs.

@Jk9   I waer a nylon "waist bag" when I walk. It only has my phone (Spotify music), poop bags (for Molly, not me yet) and my house key. It's comfortable, lightweight and I also wear it it to the side or front. 

 

Most of them don't adjust to my smaller waist and hips, so I have to cut the end of the strap and burn the end w/ a candle lighter to keep it from fraying.

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?

The bag is ok, when on the hip or back. But I Could not agree more, @Shanus !  Just bad when lying on the chest. A fashion miss...

They're cute and go for it if you like them. I'm a crossbody person. All my purses are cross body.
