Bags come in a variety of designs, styles, materials and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to have a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, consider them in 2 different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we can categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder hand bags come in many different shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and may normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, books, notepad, makeup and even more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and out. These bags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags have become practical and possibly the most common bag carried by women.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It can be carried in the hand or tucked below your arm. Throughout 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 the past svereal years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These hand bags are made the same as a typical clutch but they are bigger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches might 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 give a small handle. They're not intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They are normally smaller compared to a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These kinds of casual bags are often made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and often have only one main compartment. Tote bags are incredibly big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outside activities or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags can also be often called crossbody bags due to how they are worn. These bags are perfect because you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag can be found in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and travelers.
BACKPACK
Another bag that is popular among students could be the backpack. These kinds of bags have two straps and they are intended to be worn lying on your back. Backpacks are best for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. These are normally made of nylon, however they can also be canvas or leather. Backpacks are also great for traveling, hiking, camping along with activities.
Design for handbag you decide will depend on exactly what you need carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. A lot of women provide an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special occasions or circumstances. Other women own a large number of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, matching it to their outfit, destination and mood.
Now that you understand the handbag categories by how you carry them, we will break it down a little further. On the next page, we discusses some of the more common shapes of handbags.
