A bag comprised of flaccid material and having an improved integrally formed carrying handle which supports the weight of one or more articles contained within the bag with minimal discomfort to the supporting portion or portions of the user's body. The bag includes an uppermost flap containing the improved integrally formed carrying handle. The handle is provided by making a continuous curvilinear slit in the flap, the ends of the slit comprising a pair of inwardly. open arcs. The uppermost ends of the inwardly open arcs are inwardly extended until they transition into a centrally located, upwardly concave arc which connects the two inwardly open arcs to one another. The material adjacent the uppermost portion of the slit helps to provide a greater load bearing surface against the supporting portion or portions of the user's body, while the material adjacent the lowermost portion of the slit forms a lowermost fold helps to reinforce and stiffen the flap and thereby minimize lateral squeezing of the supporting portion or portions of the user's body whenever the bag is lifted or carried by the opening formed at the slit.
