Handbags come in many different shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to create a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, you should consider 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 many different shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, textbooks, notepad, cosmetics and more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and out. These bags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are extremely practical and maybe the most common bag carried by girls.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It can be carried in your hand or tucked below your arm. Through the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can take your keys, driver's license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in the past svereal years, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These hand bags are created just like a typical clutch but they're much larger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches could be soft-bodied, framed or even hard-cased. They come in number 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 bags are made 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 compared to a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These kind of casual bags are often made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the 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 good for the beach, outdoor actions or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags are also often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are great since you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag appear in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and travellers.
BACKPACK
Another bag which can be popular among students is the backpack. These kind of bags have 2 straps and are intended as worn lying on your back. Backpacks are best for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. These are normally made of nylon, but they can be canvas or leather. Backpacks will also be great for traveling, hiking, camping and various activities.
The style of handbag you choose depends upon what you must 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 dozens of handbags and switch their bag regularly, matching it for 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.
