Long considered old-fashioned, the shoulder bag is still worn in the street. Except among the ultra-rich, who continue to shun it.

Among the powerful, the bag is never selected thoughtlessly, and is often imbued with messages. To differentiate yourself, instead set your sights on a model from the start, and stick to it. The shoulder strap hides clothing, marks the chest, turns around due to movement, creases coats and shirts... Overall, it easily spoils a silhouette.
