Abstract: For hand comfort in carrying items with handles such as tote bags, plastic bag with handles formed as openings, paper shopping bag with attached round cord handles, wire baskets, coat hangers and the like, an inexpensive add-on handle-sheath is formed in one embodiment from flexible plastic in an elongated extrudable shape of suitable length having a transverse cross-sectional shape defining an upwardly-facing V-shaped entry channel with pair of guidewalls converging downwardly to a narrowed throat leading to a wider conduit region in a bottom portion of the add-on handle for holding a pair of bag handles. The add-on handle-sheath is easily fitted to a tote bag by directing the two bag handles downwardly in the entry channel, through the throat and into the conduit region, where they become effectively but removably captivated in the add-on handle-sheath.
