Bags come in a number of forms, styles, fabrics and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to develop a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, you should consider them in 2 ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we'll categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags can be found in numerous shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and may normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, books, note pad, makeup products and even more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and outside. These handbags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags have become practical and perhaps the most common bag carried by females.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It could be carried in your hand or tucked below your arm. Through the entire 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 the past svereal years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These hand bags are created just like a regular clutch but they're bigger and can carry your entire essentials.
Clutches could be soft-bodied, framed as well as 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 bags are created to be held by hand. They give a small handle. They are not intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They are normally smaller than a shoulder bag, but bigger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These kind of casual bags are often made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the top in most cases only have one main compartment. Tote bags are extremely big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are good for the beach, outdoor activities or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags can also be often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are wonderful as you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag are available in a number of 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 bags have two straps and are supposed to be worn on your back. Backpacks are best for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. There're normally made of nylon, but they also may also be canvas or leather. Backpacks are also perfect for traveling, hiking, camping along with activities.
Design for handbag you select will depend on what you need to 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 a large number of handbags and switch their bag regularly, matching it to 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.
