Handbags can be found in a number of shapes, styles, materials and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to have a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, you should consider them in 2 different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we can categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder bags can be found in many different shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and may normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, textbooks, notepad, makeup products and much more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and outside. These bags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are very practical and possibly the most common bag carried by girls.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of handbag that doesn't have handles. It could be taken in the hand or tucked under your arm. Through the entire history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often reserved for evenings. Clutches can carry your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These hand bags are created just like a typical clutch but they are much larger and can carry all of your essentials.
Clutches might be soft-bodied, framed or even 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 made to be held by hand. They feature 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.

TOTE BAG
These kind of casual bags are usually made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and often 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 bags are also often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are good because you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag are available in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are generally worn by students and tourists.

Another bag that's popular among students is the backpack. These kinds of bags have 2 straps and are intended to be worn on your back. Backpacks are great for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. There're normally made of nylon, however they can also be canvas or leather. Backpacks will also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping along with activities.
The perception of handbag you decide will depend on what you ought 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 dozens of handbags and switch their bag regularly, matching it for their outfit, destination and mood.
