Handbags come in a variety of shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to create 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 take them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder bags can be found in numerous shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, textbooks, note pad, makeup products and more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and out. These bags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder hand bags have become practical and maybe the most common bag carried by females.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of handbag that doesn't have handles. It could be carried in your hand or tucked under your arm. Through the entire history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can hold your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent times, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These hand bags are created just like a regular clutch but they're bigger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches may be soft-bodied, framed as well as 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 created to be held by hand. They feature 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.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These types of casual bags are usually made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and usually have only one main compartment. Tote bags are extremely big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are great for the beach, outdoor activities or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags may also be often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are great as you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag can be found in a number of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and travelers.
BACKPACK
Another bag that is popular among students is the backpack. These kinds of bags have 2 straps and are intended as worn lying on your back. Backpacks are fantastic for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. They are normally made of nylon, however they may also be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be great for traveling, hiking, camping along with other activities.
Design for handbag you choose depends upon what you need to carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Lots of women offer an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special occasions or circumstances. Other women own lots of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, matching it to their outfit, destination and mood.
