I've a house hold of females. I asked this question to them just out of the blue Which shoulder do you put your handbag on and why? So I'm opening up to the rest of you. Me I put mine on my left shoulder because its easier to get into.

Hmm, Dominique! I just tried it with my favorite purse to see how I naturally put it on. I slip my head and right arm through the strap and wear it cross-body, with the strap on the left shoulder and the purse itself resting along my right side. I think it's because I'm right-handed, and my dominant hand is the one that tends to dig into the purse for things like my keys, pocketbook, makeup, or phone.
With my original purse, which is larger and has only long handles without a shoulder strap, I still tend to carry it on my right, either under the right arm with the handles over the shoulder, or with the handles hooked over my right elbow. Again, when reaching into it, my left hand would hold it open while my right hand rooted around for whatever I needed.

I put mine on my right shoulder (my right that is), and hold it with my right hand. Holding it also helps to keep me from swinging my right arm while walking.
I'm a lefty also! It just seems natural to me!
If you don't like the way I'm livin', you just leave this long haired country girl alone:
Hi Dominique , I'm right handed and it's on my right shoulder .
Having my ears triple pierced is AWESOME, ~~......
I can explain it to you, But I can't comprehend it for you !

I am right handed - wear my purse on my left shoulder
Right handed, but prefer a purse on my left shoulder, or if cross body, over my head on my right shoulder and hanging on my left. I like to root through the purse in front of me and use my left hand to push it in place while my right hand does the digging. With trouser pockets, most needs go in my right side pocket as I don't need to (and can't) pull the pocket to the front.

Left shoulder. Never thought about it before.
But I'm right handed!
Believe it or not, I have not carried a handbag since my late teens, when mom asked me to carry hers in townIt was not over my shoulder, so I held it with my right hand.
on my left shoulder it just feels right.

Left.......................or maybe right.................no its left..............I think?
My answer to this very important question.
Right because the reason for my concealed carry permit is close by.
I am ambidextrous but left side dominant. I have my purse on my left shoulder most of the time.
I would give my right arm to be ambidextrous LOL.
Seriously usually the left because its easier to get in and out of the car with it and I'm a cross draw kind of girl.
Which way do you do up a belt?
Which way do you tie a bathrobe?
Which way????

Hi, I usually put it on the right, I think it's the same as which ear you like to use when talking on the phone. I prefer using my right ear. Jaymee
I enjoy being a boy, being a GIRL like me!!!
I generally carry mine on my right shoulder, though if I'm out shopping it does switch back and forth depending on what I'm looking at and how long it's been on one or the other.
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
Both, depending on the situation (i.e. left getting out of a car, right if it's the inside of a street as I walk). But, since I blew my right rotator cuff last year, most everything goes on the left shoulder now.
Mine automatically (grin) goes to my left shoulder.
Hugs, Carole
Left shoulder tucked under my armpit for me. That also puts the zipper at the front of the purse allowing me to open it without taking it off my shoulder to get to that zipper.
IMO it depends on handedness. A right handed person would tend to wear the back on her left shoulder, so as to not have it be a hindrance when she is using her right hand. Bags tend to either bang into the things we are handling or slip off the shoulder, if we are using the same side hand as the bag is being worn.
And the reverse for left handed people.

It depends on which side the man is walking. If he is on my left the purse is on the right and vice versa.
It also depends on where I am. If I need to "protect it" then it is on my right side and my right hand is holding the front strap, forearm on top. Otherwise it is on my left side so I can use my right arm for looking at clothes or grabbing things off the shelf. I rarely go cross body like Amy unless I need to make sure the dang thing doesn't slip off

You know I'm gonna buy me a purse just to see , yup that's what I'm gonna do
always the left shoulder, never ever even thought about the right shoulder.
never realized that before until your question.
Right handed, but wear it on my left shoulder. I bat left-handed in baseball tho, so I hope that doesn't confuse the situation more
