Bags come in a variety of shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. There're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to create a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, you should consider them in 2 different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we will categorize bags by how you carry them.

SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags come in many different shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, textbooks, notepad, cosmetics and much more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and outside. These handbags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are very practical and maybe the most common bag carried by females.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of handbag that doesn't have handles. It could be carried in the hand or tucked under your arm. Through the history of handbags, 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 the past svereal years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These hand bags are created just like a regular clutch but they are much larger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches might be soft-bodied, framed as well as 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.

Obviously, these handbags are designed 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 are normally smaller compared to a shoulder bag, but bigger than a clutch.
