Handbags come in a variety of designs, styles, fabrics and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to have a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, consider them in two different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we'll categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags come in many different shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and may normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, books, note pad, makeup products and even 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 maybe the most common bag carried by women.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It could be carried in the hand or tucked under your arm. Over the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can carry your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent years, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These hand bags are designed just like a typical 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 bags 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 compared to a shoulder bag, but bigger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These kind of casual bags are usually made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and usually only have one main compartment. Tote bags are incredibly big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outside activities or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags can also be often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are great because you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag are available in a number of 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 types of bags have two straps and they are supposed to be worn lying on your back. Backpacks are best for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, however they may also be canvas or leather. Backpacks are also perfect for traveling, hiking, camping along with other activities.
Design for handbag you decide will depend on exactly what you need 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 a large number 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.
