Bags come in a variety of designs, styles, fabrics and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to make a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, consider them in two different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we'll categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder bags can be found in a lot of shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, textbooks, note pad, makeup and even more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and out. 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 taken in your hand or tucked below your arm. Over the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can hold your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent times, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These hand bags are made the same as a typical clutch but they are bigger and can carry all of your essentials.
Clutches could be soft-bodied, framed as well as hard-cased. They come in variety 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 handbags are created to be held by hand. They give 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 bigger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These kind of casual bags are usually made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top in most cases have one main compartment. Tote bags are extremely big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are great for the beach, outdoor activities or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags may also be often called crossbody bags due to how they are worn. These bags are good since you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag can be found in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and travellers.
BACKPACK
Another bag which is popular among students may be the backpack. These kind of bags have two straps and are supposed to be worn on your back. Backpacks are great for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, however they may also be canvas or leather. Backpacks will also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping along with other activities.
Design for handbag you choose depends upon what you should carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Many 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 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.
