Bags can be found in a number of designs, styles, fabrics and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to create a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, consider them in 2 different 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 bags come in a number of shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, textbooks, notepad, makeup and more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and outside. These handbags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are very practical and perhaps the most common bag carried by females.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It can be taken in your hand or tucked under your arm. Through the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can hold your keys, driver's license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These bags are created the same as a typical clutch but they're much larger and can carry your entire 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 bags are designed to be held by hand. They give 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 bigger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These casual bags are often made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and usually have only one main compartment. Tote bags are very big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outside actions or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger 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 come in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are generally worn by students and travelers.
BACKPACK
Another bag which is popular among students may be the backpack. These types of bags have 2 straps and are supposed to be worn on your back. Backpacks are fantastic for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. These are normally made of nylon, but they can be canvas or leather. Backpacks will also be great for traveling, hiking, camping along with activities.
The style of handbag you select will depend on exactly what you need carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. A lot of women offer 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.
