I have PTSD from wearing a one shoulder bag. It was during primary school, and like a lot of kids my age, I carried everything but the kitchen sink, all supported by one velcro strap. All I needed was someone to walk up to me and quickly tear off the poorly designed strap, and my bag would come crashing down.
Now that I have had time to process my embarrassment many years later, I wonder why someone would see the need to design such a useless bag? When two straps are superior. Maybe they thought they were designed for a superhero, which would need to quickly discard their bag before changing into latex to save the world.
Whatever the reason, one shoulder backpacks are trending, back to haunt me in 2019.
