Shoulder Bag Pain: It's Not the Weight, It's the Hidden Strap Design

We've all been there: lugging around a seemingly lightweight bag only to be plagued by nagging shoulder pain by the end of the day. The industry wants you to believe that the solution is simply carrying less. But what if the weight isn't the real problem?


The mistake everyone makes is focusing solely on the bag's weight. While a lighter bag certainly helps, the real culprit often lies in the strap design. A thin, poorly designed strap concentrates the weight onto a small area of your shoulder, creating pressure points and leading to discomfort. This is where the Lishé approach shines.


Lishé bags, especially the Elva with its luxurious suede finish, are designed with wider, carefully constructed straps that distribute weight evenly across your shoulder. This seemingly simple change makes a world of difference, allowing you to carry your essentials in comfort and style.


The 3 Hidden Factors for Comfortable Carry:



  1. Strap Width: Wider straps are key. Aim for at least 2 inches to distribute weight effectively.

  2. Strap Material: Look for soft, flexible materials that won't dig into your shoulder. Suede, like that found on the Elva, is an excellent choice.

  3. Strap Placement: The angle and placement of the straps on the bag's body affect weight distribution. Ensure the straps are positioned to keep the bag close to your body.


Choosing the right bag is an investment in your well-being. With a Lishé bag, you're not just buying a beautiful accessory; you're investing in a pain-free, stylish way to carry your world.
