Bags come in many different shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to create a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, think about them in two ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we can categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder bags can be found in many different shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, books, note pad, makeup products and 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 have become practical and maybe the most common bag carried by women.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It may be carried in your hand or tucked under your arm. Over the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can take your keys, driver's license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent times, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These bags are designed the same as a regular clutch but they are larger and can carry your entire essentials.
Clutches might 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 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 are normally smaller than a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These types 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 very big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are good for the beach, outdoor actions or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags may also be often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are great since you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag can be found in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are normally worn by students and travelers.
BACKPACK
Another bag which can be popular among students could be the backpack. These kinds of bags have two straps and are supposed to be worn on your back. Backpacks are great for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. These are normally made of nylon, but they can even be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be great for traveling, hiking, camping along with activities.
Design for handbag you select depends upon what you ought to carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Lots 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 lots of handbags and switch their bag regularly, 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.
