     Next, a method of attaching the hand-carrying portion of the bag is described mainly based on  FIG. 8  to  FIG. 13 . 
     The longitudinal band-shaped body  80  made of leather or fabric to form the longitudinal band-shaped hand-carrying member  50  is prepared. 
     The hand-carrying member  50  is formed by folding the band-shaped body  80  made of leather or fabric so that portions near both longitudinal edges made of band-shaped leather or fabric overlap each other inward, and bonding folded portions together.

     The overlapping region  110  of the support member  100  and the overlapping region (one overlapping region  62  and other overlapping region  64 ) of the hand-carrying member  50  are sewed together so that the crest portion  150  of the support member  100  faces the crest portion  90  of the hand-carrying member  50  so as to be positioned oppositely thereto, thereby coupling the support member  100  to the hand-carrying member  50  (support member coupling step). 
     The band-shaped bodies  130  and band-shaped bodies  140  are formed by folding portions near both band-shape longitudinal edges made of leather or fabric inward and bonding folded portion together. 
     The band-shaped bodies  130  and band-shaped bodies  140  are configured so that the folded portions face each other to be laminated together to form one support member  100 . 
     The support member  100  has formed therein: the closing portion  156  formed by curving the band-shaped bodies  130  and band-shaped bodies  140  at the center in the width direction with the band-shaped bodies  140  placed inward, closing the one longitudinal edge  102  and the other longitudinal edge  104  together, and sewing the one longitudinal edge  102  and the other longitudinal edge  104  together so that an inner side of the one longitudinal edge  102  and the other longitudinal edge  104  is curved to swell to the outer direction, that is, to the band-shaped bodies  130  side; the swelled portion  152  and the swelled portion  154  continued to the one longitudinal edge  102  and the other longitudinal edge  104 ; and the crest portion  150  of the support region  112  with the band-shaped bodies  130  and band-shaped bodies  140  curved at the center in the width direction (support member forming step).

     The support region  112  of the support member  100  is located between the overlapping region  110  and the fixing region  114  where the inner support member  100  is attached to the surface of the bag main body  12 . The support region  112  is formed with the band-shaped bodies  130  and band-shaped-bodies  140  curved at the center in the width direction, without the support region  112  portion being sewed.

     In this manner, the bag including the structure of the hand-carrying portion  14  of the bag of the present invention can be formed. 
     Next, the structure of a hand-carrying portion of a bag in another embodiment of the present invention is described mainly based on  FIG. 23  to  FIG. 25 .

     Also, compared with the hand-carrying portion  214  of the embodiment described above, the hand-carrying member  250  is shorter and, conversely, the support members  300  are longer. 
     The support member  300  is a longitudinal band-shaped body  330 ( 340 ), and includes an overlapping region  310  having at least its upper portion formed in an arch shape with a substantially C-shaped cross section by combining both longitudinal edges together, a support region  312  extending downward from the overlapping region  310 , and a fixing region  314  formed below the support region  312 . 
     The support member  300  has both longitudinal edges of the overlapping region  310  intervened between both longitudinal edges (one longitudinal edge  252  and other longitudinal edge  254 ) of the hand-carrying member  250  formed in an arch shape with a substantially C-shaped cross section. 
     The support member  300  is coupled, with the overlapping region  310  of the support member  300  and overlapping region (one overlapping region  262  and other overlapping region  264 ) of the hand-carrying member  250  sewed together so that a crest portion  350  of the support member  300  faces a crest portion  290  of the hand-carrying member  250  so as to be positioned oppositely thereto.

     The outer hand-carrying member  550  has a region configuring the one fixing region  570  and the other fixing region  572  sewed with a back surface side of the long band-shaped member  580  configuring the outer hand-carrying member  550  in a flat state in contact with the outer surface of the bag main body  512 . 
     In the outer hand-carrying member  550 , in a extended region of the outer hand-carrying member  550  extending from the one overlapping region  562  and the other overlapping region  564  in the sewed joining region B 3 , a non-joining region B 4  not joined to the one fixing region  570  and the other fixing region  572  of the inner hand-carrying member  550  is formed. 
     The outer hand-carrying member  550  is in a mode of a band-shaped body in which the long band-shaped body  580  configuring the outer hand-carrying member  550  is in a flat state in the non-joining region B 4  not sewed to the inner support members  600  and the bag main body  512 . 
     In the non-joining region B 4 , which is an extended region of the outer hand-carrying member  550 , the one bridging region  566  and the other bridging region  568  are formed for nipping an article in a space between their inner side and the outer surface of the bag main body  512 . 
     Next, a structure is described in which the first hand-carrying member  550 A on one side (that is, on a front side) attached to the front body portion  520  side and the second hand-carrying member  550 A on the other side (that is, on an opposite side) attached to the back body portion  522  side are overlapped and affixed together in the curved region  560  configuring the shouldering region B 1  at the top representing each top. 
     For example, when a hand-carrying bag  510  is put on the left shoulder, with the back body portion  522  put on the chest side of the body and the front body portion  520  put on the opposite side, the second hand-carrying member  550 B attached to the back body portion  522  is first put on a shoulder side, that is, a lower side, and the first hand-carrying member  550 A attached to the front body portion  520  is put on the shoulder over the second hand-carrying member  550 B first put on the shoulder. The swelled portion  594  and the closing portion  596  on a lower side of the first hand-carrying member  550 A and the swelled portion  592  and the closing portion  596  on an upper side of the hand-carrying member  550 B are overlapped each other. 
     In the shouldering region B 1  at the top where the first hand-carrying member  550 A and the second hand-carrying member  550 B are overlapped each other in a vertical direction, a permanent magnet piece  680  for affixing the first hand-carrying member  550 A and the second hand-carrying member  550 B together and a ferromagnetic substance piece  690  to be affixed to the permanent magnet piece  680  are disposed. 
     The magnet piece  680  and the magnetic substance piece  690  are disk-shaped bodies, and are internally provided so as to be incorporated in the inside of the band-shaped body  580  configuring the first hand-carrying member  550 A and the second hand-carrying member  550 B, the inside formed in an arch shape with a substantially C-shaped cross section. 
     The magnet piece  680  and the magnetic substance piece  690  are nipped in the band-shaped body  580  configuring the hand-carrying member  550 . 
     The magnet piece  680  internally provided in the curved region  560  of the first hand-carrying member  550 A is made by forming a permanent magnet such as an alnico magnet, ferrite magnet, neodymium magnet, or samarium-cobalt magnet in a disk shape, and has a size suitable for shouldering the first hand-carrying member  550 A. Specifically, the magnet piece  680  has a diameter of 15 mm to 25 mm and a thickness of 2 mm to 3 mm. 
     The magnetic substance piece  690  internally provided in the curved region  560  of the second hand-carrying member  550 B is made by forming a magnetic substance such as iron, cobalt, or nickel in a disk shape, and has a size suitable for shouldering the second hand-carrying member  550 B.

     The magnet piece  680  of the first hand-carrying member  550 A and the magnetic substance piece  690  of the second hand-carrying member  550 B are each intervened between the one swelled portion  592  and the other swelled portion  594  facing each other so that a radial direction of the magnet piece  680  and the magnetic substance piece  690  extends between the crest portion  590  and the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554 . A thickness direction of the magnet piece  680  and the magnetic substance piece  690  extends in a direction in which the one swelled portion  592  and the other swelled portion  594  face each other. 
     In this manner, in the magnet piece  680  of the first hand-carrying member  550 A and the magnetic substance piece  690  of the second hand-carrying member  550 B, when the first hand-carrying member  550 A and the second hand-carrying member  550 B are overlapped each other, the flat surface portion of the magnet piece  680  and the flat surface portion of the magnetic substance piece  690  are substantially parallel with other other. 
     Next, a method of internally providing the magnet piece  680  and the magnetic substance piece  690  in the first hand-carrying member  550 A is described.

     The elastic member  582  is overlapped with an inner side surface of the band-shaped body  580 . 
     The hand-carrying member  550  is formed by folding the band-shaped body  580  made of leather or fabric so that portions near both longitudinal edges made of band-shaped leather or fabric overlap each other inward, and bonding or sewing folded portions together. 
     The band-shaped body  580  is configured so that the folded portions face each other to be laminated to form one hand-carrying member  550 . 
     The band-shaped body  580  is formed in an arch shape with a substantially C-shaped cross section by combining both of the longitudinal edges, that is, the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554 , together. 
     The hand-carrying member  550  has the curved region  560 , the overlapping regions (the one overlapping region  562  and the other overlapping region  564 ), and portions nearby continued to the overlapping regions of the bridging regions (one bridging region  566  and the other bridging region  568 ) formed in an arch shape with a substantially C-shaped cross section. Prior to that, the magnet piece  680  is disposed between the swelled portion  592  and the swelled portion  594  in the curved region  560 . 
     Similarly, the magnetic substance piece  690  is also disposed between the swelled portion  592  and the swelled portion  594  in the curved region  560  of the band-shaped body  580  configuring the second hand-carrying member  550 B. 
     Here, the magnet piece  680  is disposed inside the elastic member  582  overlapped with the band-shaped body  580 . The magnet piece  680  may be disposed between the band-shaped body  580  and the elastic member  582 . 
     On the other hand, the magnetic substance piece  690  is disposed inside the elastic member  582  overlapped with the band-shaped body  580 . The magnetic substance piece  690  may be disposed between the band-shaped body  580  and the elastic member  582 . 
     Next, the curved region  560  and the other overlapping region  564  are sewed together near the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554 . 
     The hand-carrying member  550  has formed therein: the closing portion  596  formed by curving the band-shaped body  580  at the center in the width direction with the folded portions placed inward, closing the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554  together, and sewing the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554  together so that an inner side of the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554  is curved to swell to an outer direction, that is, oppositely to the folded portions; the swelled portion  592  and the swelled portion  594  continued to the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554 ; and the crest portion  590 . 
     The bag main body  512  is provided inside the hand-carrying member  550  with an opening of a pocket (not shown) provided inside the bag main body  512 . A pocket opening  670  is provided with a pocket zipper  672 . The pocket opening  670  and the pocket zipper  672  are covered with the hand-carrying member  550  for protection. 
     Next, a method of attaching the hand-carrying portion of the bag is described mainly based on  FIG. 33  to  FIG. 37 . 
     The longitudinal band-shaped body  580  made of leather or fabric to form the longitudinal band-shaped hand-carrying member  550  is prepared. 
     The hand-carrying member  550  is formed by folding the band-shaped body  580  made of leather or fabric so that portions near both longitudinal edges made of band-shaped leather or fabric overlap each other inward, and bonding folded portions together. 
     The band-shaped body  580  is configured so that the folded portions face each other to be laminated to form one hand-carrying member  550 . 
     The band-shaped body  580  is formed in an arch shape with a substantially C-shaped cross section by combining both of the longitudinal edges, that is, the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554 , together. 
     The hand-carrying member  550  has the curved region  560 , the overlapping regions (the one overlapping region  562  and the other overlapping region  564 ), and portions nearby continued to the overlapping regions of the bridging regions (one bridging region  566  and the other bridging region  568 ) formed in an arch shape with a substantially C-shaped cross section. 
     The curved region  560  and the other overlapping region  564  are sewed together near the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554 . 
     The hand-carrying member  550  has formed therein: the closing portion  596  formed by curving the band-shaped body  580  at the center in the width direction with the folded portions placed inward, closing the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554  together, and sewing the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554  together so that an inner side of the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554  is curved to swell to an outer direction, that is, oppositely to the folded portions; the swelled portion  592  and the swelled portion  594  continued to the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554 ; and the crest portion  590  (hand-carrying member forming step). 
     Next, the support member  600  is intervened for each of the one bridging region  566  and the other bridging region  568  in each of both longitudinal edges, that is, the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554 , of the band-shaped body in the one bridging region  566  and the other bridging region  568  of the hand-carrying member  550 . 
     The support members  600  are intervened in the one overlapping region  562  and the other overlapping region  564  along the one overlapping region  562  and the other overlapping region  564  of the hand-carrying member  550  in order to raise the hand-carrying member  550  upward from the bag main body  512  (support member intervening step). 
     The longitudinal band-shaped bodies  630  and  640  made of leather or fabric forming the support members  600  include the overlapping region  610  having at least an upper portion formed in an arch shape with a substantially C-shaped cross section by combining both longitudinal edges (one longitudinal edge  602  and other longitudinal edge  604 ) together, the support region  612  extending downward from the overlapping region  610 , and the fixing region  614  formed below the support region  612 . 
     In the support members  600 , both longitudinal edges, that is, the one longitudinal edge  602  and the other longitudinal edge  604 , of the overlapping region  610 , are intervened in both longitudinal edges, that is, the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554 , of the hand-carrying member  550  formed in an arch shape with a substantially C-shaped cross section. 
     The overlapping region  610  of the support member  600  and the overlapping region (one overlapping region  562  and other overlapping region  564 ) of the hand-carrying member  550  are sewed together so that the crest portion  650  of the support member  600  faces the crest portion  590  of the hand-carrying member  550  so as to be positioned oppositely thereto, thereby coupling the support member  600  to the hand-carrying member  550  (support member coupling step). 
     The band-shaped bodies  630  and band-shaped bodies  640  are formed by folding portions near both band-shape longitudinal edges made of leather or fabric inward and bonding folded portion together. 
     The band-shaped bodies  630  and band-shaped bodies  640  are configured so that the folded portions face each other to be laminated together to form one support member  600 . 
     The support member  600  has formed therein: the closing portion  656  formed by curving the band-shaped bodies  630  and band-shaped bodies  640  at the center in the width direction with the band-shaped bodies  640  placed inward, closing the one longitudinal edge  602  and the other longitudinal edge  604  together, and sewing the one longitudinal edge  602  and the other longitudinal edge  604  together so that an inner side of the one longitudinal edge  602  and the other longitudinal edge  604  is curved to swell to the outer direction, that is, to the band-shaped bodies  630  side; the swelled portion  652  and the swelled portion  654  continued to the one longitudinal edge  602  and the other longitudinal edge  604 ; and the crest portion  650  of the support region  612  with the band-shaped bodies  630  and band-shaped bodies  640  curved at the center in the width direction (support member forming step). 
     For the outer hand-carrying member  550  and the inner support member  600 , in a region where the closing portion  596  of the band-shaped body  580  and the crest portion  650  of band-shaped bodies  630  and band-shaped bodies  640  are overlapped each other, a portion near the longitudinal edge (one longitudinal edge  552  and other longitudinal edge  554 ) of the outer hand-carrying member  550  and a portion near the crest portion  650  of the inner one support member  600  are sewed together to form the sewing portion  660 . 
     In an overlapping region between the one overlapping region  562  of the hand-carrying member  550  and the overlapping region  610  of the support member  600  and an overlapping region between the other overlapping region  564  of the hand-carrying member  550  and the overlapping region  610  of the support member  600  extending from the shouldering region B 1 , a portion near the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other overlapping region  564  of the hand-carrying member  550  and the crest portion  650  of the support member  600  are sewed together along the one longitudinal edge  552  and the other longitudinal edge  554  of the hand-carrying member  550  to form the sewing portion  660 . 
     Next, the support member  600  is formed so that the support region  612  has an arch shape with a substantially C-shaped or substantially U-shaped cross section at least near the overlapping region  610 , and the fixing region  614  below the support region  612  is fixed to the bag main body  512  (support member fixing step). 
     Next, the hand-carrying member  550  extends downward from the fixing region  614  of the support members  600  fixed to the bag main body  512 , and is fixed to the bag main body  512  in the fixing regions (one fixing region  570  and other fixing region  572 ) of the hand-carrying member  550  (hand-carrying member fixing step). 
     The support region  612  of the support member  600  is located between the overlapping region  610  and the fixing region  614  where the inner support member  600  is attached to the surface of the bag main body  512 . The support region  612  is formed with the band-shaped bodies  630  and band-shaped-bodies  640  curved at the center in the width direction, without the support region  612  portion being sewed. 
     The overlapping regions  610  at one end of the inner support members  600  are attached to the one overlapping region  562  and the other overlapping region  564  of the hand-carrying members  550 , and the fixing regions  614  at the other end are attached to the outer surface of the back main body  512 . 
     In this embodiment, the overlapping regions  610  at one end of the inner support members  600  are sewed to the one overlapping region  562  and the other overlapping region  564  of the hand-carrying member  550  near the left side gore portion  524 A (right side gore portion  524 B) configuring the gore portion  524  near the opening  528  of the front body portion  520 , and also the fixing regions  614  at the other end are sewed to portions near the right side gore portion  524 B configuring the gore portion  524  near the opening  528  of the front body portion  520 . 
     The back surface side of the fixing regions  614  in a flat state of the long band-shaped bodies (band-shaped bodies  630  and band-shaped bodies  640 ) configuring the inner support member  600  is made in contact with and sewed to the outer surface of the bag main body  512 . 
     In this manner, the bag including the structure which supports the hand-carrying member  550  of the hand-carrying portion  514  of the present invention can be formed. 
     The structural modes of the above-described embodiments are not cited as restricting the present invention, and can be changed based on the idea of the present invention. The present invention includes such changes.
