In addition, in the case of backpack use, the fifth engagement portion 31 of the first belt 3 is engaged with one of the second engagement portions 22, the fifth engagement portion 41 of the second belt 4 is engaged with the other of the second engagement portions 22, the sixth engagement portion 32 of the first belt 3 is engaged with the third engagement portion 23, and the seventh engagement portion 42 of the second belt 4 is engaged with the fourth engagement portion 24. This allows the first belt 3 and the second belt 4 to be used in both shoulder use and backpack use. Therefore, when using the bag as a shoulder bag or a backpack, there is no need to store the first belt 3 and the second belt 4, which reduces the hassle of storing them and prevents the first belt 3 and the second belt 4 from being lost.

[0036] (2) In this embodiment, the bag has first handle 25 and second handle 26, so it can be used in a hand-held configuration depending on the usage situation of bag 1. Furthermore, the orientation of bag 1 can be changed depending on whether it is used with first handle 25 or second handle 26.

[0037] (3) In this embodiment, the lengths of the first belt 3 and the second belt 4 can be adjusted according to the height of the user, making the bag 1 more convenient to use.

[0038] (4) In this embodiment, the bag body 2 is approximately rectangular, with width dimensions of 370 mm ± 30 mm, depth dimensions of 175 mm ± 20 mm, and height dimensions of 360 mm ± 30 mm, so that it can store and carry large items, such as sushi rolls or pizza cases.

[0039] [Variations] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and any modifications and improvements that can achieve the object of the present invention are included in the present invention.

[0040] In the above embodiment, the bag body 2 has the first handle 25 and the second handle 26, but this is not limited to this.
