Handbags come in many different shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. There're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to develop a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, think about 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 Handbag
Shoulder bags come in a lot of shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, books, notepad, cosmetics and much more. They're 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 handbag that doesn't have handles. It may be carried 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 take your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent times, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These hand bags are created just like a typical clutch but they are much larger and can carry your entire essentials.
Clutches could 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 give a small handle. They are not intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They're normally smaller compared to a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These kinds of casual bags will often be made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the top in most cases have only one main compartment. Tote bags are incredibly big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are good for the beach, outdoor activities or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags are also often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are perfect as you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag come in a number of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are generally worn by students and tourists.
BACKPACK
Another bag that is popular among students is the backpack. These bags have 2 straps and are supposed to be worn lying on your back. Backpacks are best for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. There're normally made of nylon, but they can also be canvas or leather. Backpacks will also be great for traveling, hiking, camping and other activities.
The style of handbag you choose depends on exactly what you need carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. A lot of women offer 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 for their outfit, destination and mood.
