Bags come in various shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to make a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, you should think of them in 2 different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we'll categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder hand bags can be found in a lot of shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, textbooks, notepad, makeup and even more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and outside. These bags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags have become practical and perhaps the most common bag carried by girls.
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. Through the entire history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often reserved for evenings. Clutches can carry your keys, driver's license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent times, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These hand bags are made the same as a typical clutch but they are bigger and can carry all 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 handbags are created 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're normally smaller compared to a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These kind of casual bags are usually made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and frequently have one main compartment. Tote bags are extremely big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are great for the beach, outside activities or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags are also often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are great as you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag come in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and travelers.
BACKPACK
Another bag that is popular among students may be the backpack. These kinds of bags have two straps and are intended as worn on your back. Backpacks are fantastic for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. There're normally made of nylon, however they can even be canvas or leather. Backpacks are also perfect for traveling, hiking, camping along with activities.
The style of handbag you select depends upon what you should carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. A lot of 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 a large number of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, matching it to their outfit, destination and mood.
