Bags come in a variety of forms, styles, fabrics and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to have a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, you should think of them in 2 different 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 Handbag
Shoulder bags can be found in many different shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, textbooks, notepad, cosmetics and much more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and out. These handbags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are very practical and perhaps 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 the hand or tucked under your arm. Over the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can carry your keys, driver's 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 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 handbags are made to be held by hand. They feature a small handle. They are 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 casual bags are often made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and usually have one main compartment. Tote bags are very big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outside activities or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags can also be often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are great as you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag appear in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are normally 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 intended as worn on your back. Backpacks are perfect for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, but they also may also be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be great for traveling, hiking, camping and other activities.
Design for handbag you select will depend on what you should carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Lots of women have an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special occasions or circumstances. Other women own lots of handbags and switch their bag regularly, matching it to their outfit, destination and mood.
