Bags can be found in a variety of shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. There're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to have a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, you should consider them in two ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we will categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, books, note pad, cosmetics and more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and outside. These handbags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder hand bags have become practical and maybe the most common bag carried by girls.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of handbag that doesn't have handles. It may be carried in your hand or tucked below your arm. Through the entire history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can take your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent years, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These bags are made just like a typical clutch but they are much larger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches can be soft-bodied, framed or maybe 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 feature a small handle. They're not intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They're normally smaller than a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These kind of casual bags are usually made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and often have one main compartment. Tote bags are very big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are good for the beach, outside activities or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags can also be often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are wonderful as you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag come in a number of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and travellers.
BACKPACK
Another bag that is popular among students is the backpack. These bags have 2 straps and they are intended as worn on your back. Backpacks are great for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. They are normally made of nylon, but they also can also be canvas or leather. Backpacks are also great for traveling, hiking, camping and other activities.
The perception of handbag you choose depends on what you should carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. A lot of women have 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 on a regular basis, matching it to 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.
