I went onto Temu and all over the internet looking for bags which slotted on, various prices and colours.
I ended up buying three.
Pink Slotted Bag
The pink one was the largest and most solid.
It had a handy zipped compartment at the back. It wasn't the right pink to go with my jacket, more lavender. but at least it was pink. Not black.
The Black bag
The black one went best, colourwise, very smart, with a black suitcase. No long handle. The two arched handles just about fitted over my shoulder if I had not too much in it. At first I thought the handles were rough to hold, and the bag fabric rough. But if you wear gloves, or a coat, or add a padded shoulder protector over the handles, you have a padded strap. I liked it enough not to send it back.
I had wanted to see how the various bags worked. So that I could add straps or slots to my existing bags to take on holiday.
My favourite black leather bucket bag is always slipping off my wheel on bag sideways suddenly. The toppled bag and fallen suitcase, it makes the suitcase trip over, delay me. They strain my back. They block the people behind me on an escalator or Travelator. I look inelegant and feel silly.
These three bags should solve that problem.
But what can I do for other bags? Two vertical slots would destroy a big bag and risk tearing more, and letting items fall in or out. You could cut slits in your bag and line the inside with stiff fabric.
The black bag has a wide horizontal band all the way from one vertical side seam to the other. It is not so high.
