Abstract: A detachable bag-carrying handgrip device for hand carrying a shopping bag by its handles which due to the wide distribution of the carried weight over the fingers of the carrying hand is more comfortable to use than previous such devices. The hand grip comprises a flexible outer casing with two flexible edges for insertion of the carrying straps of the grocery bag to be carried. Upon insertion of the carrying straps, the carrying straps settle into a rigid channel which is open at the top and which provides the rigidity for a handgrip which is to be used to carry heavy shopping bags or packages for long distances. Due to this construction of the hand-grip, it remains with the straps of the carried bag even when the bag is set down.
