Shoulder Bags

Shoulder bags are currently becoming an increasingly popular type of luggage for many men and women. They are suitable for traveling when you need to carry a small piece of hand luggage, as an equivalent to a school backpack, but they are also suitable for everyday wear to work or for an evening out with friends.

Shoulder bags: Stylish, practical and versatile

Fabric shoulder bags are the ideal accessory for every day. They offer the perfect combination of style, comfort and practicality. What's more, they can perfectly complement your outfit. Whether you are looking for an elegant work bag, a sporty shoulder bag for weekend trips or a small crossbody bag for your essentials, you are sure to find the most suitable one from our wide range of models to meet your requirements for style, size and colour.

Why choose a shoulder bag?

A lightweight shoulder bag with a zipped pocket and an adjustable shoulder strap is a versatile and incredibly handy companion for everyday wear to work. Thanks to its practical size, it easily holds everything essential that you need to keep at hand at all times. In particular, basic personal items such as keys, a mobile phone and a wallet. At the same time, they are comfortable to carry and can be used for a variety of occasions. They are suitable for work, travelling, sport or simply a walk around town.

How to choose the right shoulder bag

Usage

  • Are you looking for an elegant accessory to go with a business outfit, for air travel, a sporty version for physical activities or a practical bag for everyday wear?

Size, volume and dimensions

  • Do you need room in the bag for a laptop or tablet, or is a small bag for just a few small items enough?
  • A 20-litre volume is ideal for an ordinary day at work, a volume of up to 30 litres is suitable for sport, and a volume over 30 litres is optimal for weekend breaks and travelling.

Design, style and colour

  • Choose the version that best suits your taste and the demands of your lifestyle. Design is often closely linked to the use of a particular material and its specific properties, which are suited to different purposes.

Materials

  • Leather – durable natural material, elegant look, heavier weight, requires regular care and maintenance
  • Artificial leather/polyurethane – synthetic material, similar in appearance to real leather
  • Nylon, polyester – lightweight synthetic fabrics that are easy to maintain
  • rPET (recycled polyester) – environmentally friendly material
  • Tarpaulin – waterproof material that provides reliable protection for your belongings against rain and damp

Water repellency

  • Material with a water-repellent finish is especially valued when travelling, carrying a laptop and during outdoor activities.
  • In addition to the fabric, the zip of the main compartment or front pocket should also have a water-repellent finish.

Functional features

  • Detachable shoulder strap with adjustable length and padding to prevent pressure marks – for optimal adjustment to your height and comfortable carrying
  • Internal pockets – for better organisation of items inside the bag 
  • External pockets – ideal for quick access
  • Padded laptop pocket – safe transport of electronics
  • Tablet compartment – protects the tablet and makes it easier to use

Frequently asked questions

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using shoulder bags?

Shoulder bags provide easy access to your personal belongings. They are ideal for carrying keys, a wallet and so on. They can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody style, allowing you to keep your hands free. However, they are not intended for carrying heavier items over long periods. Uneven strain on the back and shoulders can cause discomfort and back pain.

Can I also use a shoulder bag as a school bag?

Yes, on a lighter day at school it can be used. The important thing is that the bag is spacious enough to hold school supplies, textbooks and exercise books of the required size. For long-term use, however, we recommend choosing an ergonomic school backpack with a well-designed back system and softly padded shoulder straps.

How do I clean a shoulder bag correctly?

We recommend following the manufacturer's instructions, which are given on the label that comes with every bag. In general, most bags can be cleaned with a damp cloth and water with a mild soap.
