Bags come in many different shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. There're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to develop a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, think about them in two different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we are going to categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags come in a lot of shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and may normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, textbooks, notepad, cosmetics and much more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and outside. These bags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder hand bags are extremely practical and possibly the most common bag carried by women.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of handbag that doesn't have handles. It can be carried in the hand or tucked below your arm. Over the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can hold your keys, driver's license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent years, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These bags are made the same as a typical clutch but they're much larger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches may be soft-bodied, framed or maybe hard-cased. They come in variety of 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 designed to be held by hand. They give a small handle. They aren't intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They're normally smaller than a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These casual bags are usually made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and usually have one main compartment. Tote bags are incredibly big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are great for the beach, outside actions or shopping.

Messenger hand bags can also be often called crossbody bags due to how they are worn. These bags are perfect since you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag come in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are generally worn by students and travellers.

Backpacks can also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping and various activities.
The style of handbag you decide depends on what you ought to carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Lots of women have an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special occasions or circumstances.
