Abstract
A lighted shoulder strap includes a hook, buckle, or slider for attaching the strap to a bag, purse, or suitcase. An EL strip is attached to the strap by, for example, stitching or glue, to allow the wearer to be more visible at nighttime, particularly by motor vehicles, without detracting from the attractiveness of the strap, and a length adjustment clip and shoulder pad are included to ensure comfort for the wearer.
