Bags can be found in a number of designs, styles, materials and colors. There're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to create a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, think about them in two different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we'll categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder bags come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, books, notepad, makeup and even more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and outside. These handbags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are extremely practical and perhaps the most common bag carried by girls.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It could be taken in your hand or tucked under your arm. Throughout 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 the past svereal years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These bags are designed just like a typical clutch but they're larger and can carry all of your essentials.
Clutches could be soft-bodied, framed or even 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 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 are normally smaller than a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These casual bags are usually made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and frequently have only one main compartment. Tote bags are very big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are great 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 perfect since you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag are available in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and tourists.
BACKPACK
Another bag which can be popular among students could be the backpack. These kinds of bags have 2 straps and are intended to be worn lying on your back. Backpacks are great for carrying school books, notepads as well as 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 activities.
Design for handbag you select depends on what you need to 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 occasions or circumstances. Other women own dozens of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, matching it to their outfit, destination and mood.
