Abstract

A new and improved shoulder bag is disclosed which also would serve as a seat cushion in both the open and closed positions. The shoulder bag would be approximately rectangular in shape and would have two side faces, which would include a first side face and a second side face. The shoulder bag would also have a top edge, a bottom edge, and two side edges, a first side edge and a second side edge. The shoulder bag would comprise two half sections, with the two half sections being pivotally attached to one another at the bottom edge. The shoulder bag would include a zipper, with the zipper being located on the first side edge, the top edge, and the second side edge. The shoulder bag would also include a shoulder strap clasp, which would provide the user with a hands-free way of carrying small items, such as an umbrella, small beverage coolers, or other items that have a handle for carrying. In addition, items can be carried within the present invention when in the closed position.
