Bags can be found in many different forms, styles, materials and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to create a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, think about 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 Handbag
Shoulder hand bags can be found in a number of shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, textbooks, note pad, makeup and much more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and outside. These bags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are extremely practical and possibly the most common bag carried by girls.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It can be taken 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, driving 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 designed just like a regular clutch but they're bigger and can carry your entire essentials.
Clutches could be soft-bodied, framed as well as 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 handbags are created to be held by hand. They have a small handle. They are 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 from canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and usually 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 actions or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags are also often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are perfect as you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag can be found in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are normally worn by students and tourists.
BACKPACK
Another bag that's popular among students may be the backpack. These kinds of bags have 2 straps and they are supposed to be worn lying on your back. Backpacks are great for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, but they also can be canvas or leather. Backpacks may also be great for traveling, hiking, camping and other activities.
The style of 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 lots of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, matching it with 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.
