Handbags come in a number of shapes, styles, materials and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to make a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, think about them in 2 different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we'll categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder hand bags can be found in numerous shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and may normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, books, notepad, cosmetics and even more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and outside. These bags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder hand bags are very practical and possibly the most common bag carried by females.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It may be taken in the hand or tucked below your arm. Through the entire history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can hold your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent times, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These bags are designed just like a regular clutch but they are larger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches may 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 bags are created 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 than a shoulder bag, but bigger than a clutch.

Messenger hand bags are also often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are perfect because you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag come in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are generally worn by students and travelers.

The perception of handbag you choose depends on what you must carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences.
