The carrying handle for shopping bags is to be designated as a protective aid in the carrying of filled shopping bags (plastic). It prevents the painful cutting of the twine-like carrying loops into the fingers of the carrying hand in the case of loaded carrying bags. This is particularly important for elderly people, whose fingers cannot bear or can only bear for a short time the painful strain arising in the case of packed-full carrying bags. These hardships, which have previously been endured, are eliminated by the abovementioned carrying handle. The two eye holes on the upper side of the handle serve for hooking in an adjustable shoulder strap and in particular for weight shifting to the shoulder which is far more capable of bearing a load.
