to not understand why so many young ladies carry handbags on the crook of their elbow.

Huge heavy handbags....this cannot be comfortable or even good for you...

fashion victims in the real sense of the word..

My granny with her cats bum faced used to carry a bug handbag this way...

Kids these days eh...harrumph etc

i am mid 40's and always carry mine that way, how else are you to carry a bag that does not have shoulder straps. I swap it from hand to hand to even out the amount of time the left and right arm is holding it.

If you want to carry a bag on your shoulder then surely you would buy a shoulder bag.

I didn't know it was controversial.
