Bags come in many different shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to have 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 hand bags come in a lot of shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and may normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, textbooks, notepad, cosmetics and more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and out. These bags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags have become practical and possibly the most common bag carried by women.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It may be taken in the hand or tucked below your arm. Through the history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often reserved for evenings. Clutches can hold 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 regular clutch but they are much 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 made to be held by hand. They have a small handle. They are 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 often made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and often have one main compartment. Tote bags are extremely big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are good for the beach, outdoor actions or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags are also often called crossbody bags due to how they are worn. These bags are wonderful because you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag appear in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and tourists.
BACKPACK
Another bag that's popular among students is the backpack. These kind of bags have two straps and they are intended to be worn on your back. Backpacks are perfect for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, but they also may also be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping and other activities.
Design for handbag you select depends upon exactly what you need 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 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.
