: Generate urls for same product with different designs How do you handle a product url when a brand has the same product type in different shapes? Let me provide you with an example. I have

As you said both products are different so I would also advise you to use unique content for both pages. Regarding URL Structure if you go with option 1 it will be fine, Google can't penalize you at all. But this type of URL structure is not user friendly and it will make your site less trustworthy. So it's better to use proper product name with the category in the URL like
example.com/bags/sling-bag www.example.com/bags/long-sling-bag

It depends.

If you're having different bags (e.g. photos), but you keep the same textual content, then it may seem as the pages are duplicates (because of textual content, that is one of the strongest signals to Google).

So, if the pages have the same (or nearly the same) text (page titles, meta descriptions, and on-page text) you should decide which of the pages you want to be the chosen one, and then on the other page place a canonical tag with an URL pointing to the chosen one.

If page titles, meta descriptions, and on-page text is different, then these two pages are good to go as independent pages.

Either way, you may use the scenario 1, as you wrote. But I'd suggest you to lean to the more descriptive URLs side, as semantically, long-sling-bag is more descriptive than sling-bag. And keywords in URLs have a bit of a SEO ranking power.
