What the AI looks for in Women's Shoulder Handbags
- Strap drop
- The drop should let the bag sit under the arm without slipping, ideally with an adjustable or second strap. Shoulder bags with too short a drop cannot be worn with a coat.
- Strap width
- Choose a wider leather strap over a chain for daily carry. Load per square inch decides comfort.
- Capacity versus weight
- Check the empty weight before buying a large leather shoulder bag. All of the load sits on one shoulder.
Brands that matter
- Coach: Strong leather shoulder bags.
- Kate Spade New York: Structured shoulder bags.
- Michael Kors: Broad range of shoulder bags.
What to avoid
- Chain-only straps for full-day use.
