Handbags come in a variety of designs, styles, fabrics and colors. There're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to make a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, think about them in 2 ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we are going to categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, textbooks, notepad, makeup products and even more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and out. These bags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are very practical and possibly the most common bag carried by girls.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of handbag that doesn't have handles. It could be carried in your hand or tucked under your arm. Through the history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can carry 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 created just like a regular clutch but they're much larger and can carry your entire essentials.
Clutches can be soft-bodied, framed or maybe hard-cased. They come in various 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 give you a small handle. They aren't 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 very top and often 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, outdoor activities or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags may also be often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are great since you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag can be found in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are generally worn by students and tourists.
BACKPACK
Another bag which can be popular among students is the backpack. These kind of bags have two straps and they 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 can be canvas or leather. Backpacks will also be great for traveling, hiking, camping along with other activities.
Design for handbag you select depends on exactly what you need carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Many women provide an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special events or circumstances. Other women own dozens of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, 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.
