What’s The Most Weight You’ll Assign Your Poor Shoulder?

I have the same problem, and down the line I found out it is not just a ‘cosmetic’ issue. Add this to computer sitting and some real pain results. So now I: buy bags I can wear messenger style, or bags with handles so I carry them in my hand or occasionally over the crook of my arm, so I can change hands (preferably a bag that can do both, depending on the load factor), and I’ve even resulted in getting laptop bags with wheels (like GoGo bags). I also avoid ‘heavy’ silly metal hardware like extra padlocks, chains, etc. Some great new bags are also of lighter, more supple leather, like the Gryson bag I bought recently. What a relief!

I will not purchase a bag unless it meets two requirements: functionality and style. I like a bag that functions, but also feels comfortable on the shoulder knowing I will be toting my laptop, planner, wallet and other items for work during the week. It is always good to have separate night-time bag that can carry only a few items.
