Are the handles long enough to tote this over your shoulder, or do you have to carry it in your hand? I know there is a long shoulder strap. Thanks!

Truthfully, I bought several Built bags at the same time so have not used this one, but plan to this fall. I just tried putting the straps over my shoulder and while I could get them on the shoulder, it was tight and I doubt I would do it often. The bag is quite large--bigger than I expected when ordering, but I like the style for the fall and winter. As mentioned, I have two other Built computer bags in more traditional briefcase styles. Hope this is of some help to you.

I can put it over my shoulder but I don't think it was designed for that. It's a little tight bit doable. I carry it like that in and out of my office but probably wouldn't go any further than that.

The handles on the bag itself are the size to carry hand as otherwise trying to have it on your shoulder are uncomfortable. The long shoulder strap is the best option for use for on the shoulder or as a cross-body/messenger style. Hope that helps!

The handles are too short for over the shoulder use. The long shoulder strap (which is long enough for crossbody use) can be shorten enough so it feels like a handbag strap.

No. They handles are small and for carrying in your hand. But, the shoulder strap is adjustable to be cross body or just over your shoulder.

Hi Sharon.They are not long enough, you need to use the shoulder strap but I can tell you it's a great bag!!! I work in the accessories enviroment and I bought at least 10 of these bags for friends and sisters and I have 2 of them: it's the most convenient bag I found around for this price, believe me. I'm italian and I bought them in us and I asked later to my US colleagues to buy them on Amazon because they are not available in Europe; I tell you this to show how much I find it convenient. The Tote (I already have it) is more banal

You can carry it on your shoulder if you do not fill the tote to capacity. It is meant to be carried on your arm or hand.

Not really. You could put a belt through the straps for the handle, but I'm not sure how comfortable that would be. I use the shoulder strap so it doesn't bang against my leg or pull my pants down. It is also easier to swing it out of my way then.

I do not have any trouble getting the bag on my shoulder with one hand. It could depend on your height and weight. For instance, I'm 5'4", 115lbs and I can put this bag on my shoulder with one hand. When it is on my shoulder, the very top of the bag sits about 5" below my armpit when my arm is down. I have plenty of room between the bag and my armpit. The 9.5" drop is more than it sounds like. :)

Handles wrap around the bag. Can't tell about the shoulder strap. It is tucked under the bottom part of the bag. I'm not sure what you plan to carry but all the straps seem to be sturdy and strong. Should easily support up to 40 lbs.

Yes. This bag is HUGE. My wife uses it and she is not tall enough to carry it by the handles without it dragging. She is 5' 6". Just FYI

Each end has a mesh opening. The top is not mesh, but folds back and has velcro to hold it open. Yes the handles are big enough to go over the shoulder.

No the strap does not fit over your shoulder once you put all your accessories in it, but the caddy is large enough for everything you need for the shower and more.

It's plenty long for shoulder carrying. I bought it for my granddaughter, so not sure if it's adjustable, but I think it is. Bag has plenty of pockets for accessories and other extras. I was very impressed with the quality.

The straps are long enough to go over your shoulder. Like long purse straps but more heavy duty. I am 5'6" and if I hold the straps in my hand the bag is close to the ground but does not touch or drag. It's close, maybe have a few inches clearance.

you can adjust the straps shown to a long length to use like a duffel bag style shoulder strap. I wear it like a back pack most times though.

Sorry for the delay. I have to catch the bag at home as it's my wife's. She uses it when traveling as well as to work. The handle extends approximately 20.5 inches above the top of the case. This bag has worked well so far. Especially since it gets a work out being loaded into the car & wheeled across a huge parking lot into her work.

It has a long strap that goes over shoulder to carry after folding it up. Attaches with Velcro

Frankly, carrying it over my shoulder was my ONLY option as the bag's wheels don't turn. They go straight and the bag tips over when you round a corner. My workaround was to wear it "crossbody" because, as the other owner mentioned, it's unstable if draped over a shoulder.

It weighs enough that I think I might buy the accompanying bag that holds it. It's kind of heavy to carry in your hand for a long time. Having it in a bag with a shoulder strap would make this easier to carry around especially if you are carrying other bags and equipment.

Its more like a handle, too short to be a shoulder strap. There is a clip to attach to backpack or belt or you can use a carabeiner.
