Handbags come in a number of shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. There're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to make a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, you should consider them in 2 ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we can categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder handbag
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, cell phone, books, note pad, cosmetics and much more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and out. These bags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are extremely practical and maybe the most common bag carried by females.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It may be taken in your hand or tucked below your arm. Throughout the history of bags, 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 years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These hand bags are created the same as a regular clutch but they are larger and can carry all of your essentials.
Clutches could 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 designed to be held by hand. They have 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 larger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These types of casual bags are usually made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the top in most cases only have one main compartment. Tote bags are incredibly big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outdoor actions or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags may also be often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are wonderful because you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag are available in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are normally worn by students and travelers.
BACKPACK
Another bag that is popular among students could be the backpack. These types of bags have two straps and are supposed to be worn on your back. Backpacks are best for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, but they may also be canvas or leather. Backpacks may also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping and various activities.
The perception of handbag you select depends on exactly what you need 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 occasions or circumstances. Other women own dozens of handbags and switch their bag regularly, matching it for 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.
