Handbags come in various forms, styles, materials and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to create a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, you should consider them in two different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we'll categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder hand bags come in numerous shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and may normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, books, notepad, cosmetics and much more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and out. These handbags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder hand bags are very practical and perhaps the most common bag carried by ladies.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of handbag that doesn't have handles. It may be taken in your hand or tucked under your arm. Throughout the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can hold your keys, driver's license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in the past svereal years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These bags are designed the same as a typical clutch but they're bigger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches might be soft-bodied, framed or maybe hard-cased. They come in various shapes and materials, including silk, patent leather and sequined fabrics. A clutch can be closed with a fold-over flap, top closure, zipper, push lock, drawstring or any number other types of closures.
HANDHELD BAG
Obviously, these handbags are created to be held by hand. They give you a small handle. They're not intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They are normally smaller than a shoulder bag, but bigger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These types of casual bags are usually made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and frequently have only one main compartment. Tote bags are very big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are great for the beach, outside actions or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags are also often called crossbody bags due to how they are worn. These bags are great because you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag are available in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and travellers.
BACKPACK
Another bag which is popular among students is the backpack. These kinds of bags have two straps and are intended to be worn lying on your back. Backpacks are great for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. These are normally made of nylon, but they also can also be canvas or leather. Backpacks may also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping and other activities.
The style of handbag you choose depends upon what you need to carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Many women provide an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special events or circumstances. Other women own lots of handbags and switch their bag regularly, matching it to their outfit, destination and mood.
