I think a sling bag is a handbag that is smaller and is worn across your shoulder high up on the body or like a backpack....I broke my shoulder and cannot use any of my handbags (most are heavy).  

 

I was thinking about a sling bag so I could carry a few nore things that I can currently get in the small bag I carry...I am currently using a small zippered bag that holds just a few things I carry it by the strap.

 

If anyone has one of these bags, do you like it...they seem high up on the body, is that comfortable?  

 

I did a search on QVC and saw a limited number of bags but no video to watch as to how they work.

 

Appreciate any feedback.

Why not a lightweight crossbody??  Baggallini has many.

I notice some young women wearing the sling bag in the front, over their breasts.  It just looks odd and uncomfortable to me.  It is also an unattractive look, in my opinion.  I hope this fashion fad soon fades away.

I use a sling bag while hiking.  I wear it in front of my chest.  It is comfortable and out of the way.  I have two different kinds.

@Mom2Dogs I use sling bags all the time.  I usually wear them on my back but can position beneath my arm or in front when I have security concerns or need access to the contents.  I treasure them when I travel.  I have both canvas and leather.  I bought a smaller body hugger that is low profile for travel to hold phone and passport and tickets for travel.

 

Slings do not flop about like cross body bags.  They hug your body and are adjustable to fit your body.

 

If I need to be dressed up, I swap out for cross body or other.  I would not be without my slings.  So convenient.  I bet if you but one, you will be hooked!

Maybe  backpacks as handbags are going out of style? For some reason, I couldn't get into carrying a backpack on a daily basis.  I always see it as travel accessory or for people in school

@SharkE   Sometimes there is not another option.

@cindyNC   I am not a fan of back packs, I just need something other than my current handbags and smaller than what I have.
