kannie Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Odd question, I know - sorry! I'm making brooches and I realise I normally wear a brooch on the right because if I wear a shoulder bag I wear it on the left. And then I thought maybe more people wear their bags on the right side - so I decided to check! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phonix Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I wear mine on the right!!! Only wear one on the left if its one of those that come across the front and hand down to your side!! xXx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen & co. Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I tend to wear it on my right shoulder, although I have no idea why Another thing is if I had a brooch on my right when driving I would worry about it getting caught in the seat belt Karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Oh yes...I do the opposite...probably because I'm a southpaw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickvic Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 On the left, I'm not a southpaw, just awkward I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milly Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Left. But maybe it depends on whether you are right or left-handed? Milly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abwsco Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 On the right but more often than not I wear them across my body so it goes from right shoulder to left hip then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 On the right. I'm right-handed ... not sure why I just always put it on that side. I like to keep my arm over the bag when on the tube etc, for safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardene5 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 I do not wear a shoulder bag at all .... a rucksack sometimes when walking the dogs to carry their water, water bowl and a towel in. But there again a shoulder bag is not for me at all. regards Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Always my left shoulder - I have a groove there now so it doesn't fall off. Just doesn't work on the right. and I'm right handed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Always on the right & I'm righthanded. At school there was a RULE that we had to wear our satchels on the right, & walk on the left in the corridor, so the buckles didn't scratch the walls! It would feel wrong to wear it on the left now, but I walk where I like in corridors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 i wear mine on my right shoulder because i'm left handed and find it easier to hold the bag with my right hand while unzipping it with my left. It just feels more comfortable that way. I love brooches! I always wear my brooches on the left by the way I have this one which is my favourite http://cgi.ebay.com/Sarah-Coventry-%22Mr.-Seagull%22--Brooch-Pin-Circa-1975_W0QQitemZ380050682492QQcmdZViewItem?IMSfp=TL0807291268r14596 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Usually on the left, and I'm right handed. Don't know why...I just sling it over that shoulder without ever thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spratly0 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 neither - always use a handbag sized rucksac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 If going across the body, i wear it on my left shoulder. If just on my shoulder then it's my right shoulder, so the bag is always on the right hip, however i wear it. I'm right-handed. Mind you, i'm more of a rucksack person now as i can't wear a shoulder bag whilst using crutches or a stick And of course, my scooter of wheelchair carry my bag for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I didn't complete the poll, because I'm awkward to interpret. I do very occasionally have my bag just hanging from my right shoulder, so I suppose I could have clicked that. However, I most usually have it across my body like a satchel (i.e. the strap on my left shoulder, going across my body, so the bag is on my right hip). Does that make sense? Edited to add: Seems Helly posted identical information whilst I was composing my post! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
