When categorizing bags, you should think of them in 2 different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we'll categorize bags by how you take them.

CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It may be carried in the hand or tucked below your arm. Throughout the history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can take your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent times, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These hand bags are created just like a typical clutch but they are 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 bags are made to be held by hand. They give you 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 bigger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These casual bags will often be made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and frequently only have one main compartment. Tote bags are extremely big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outside actions or buying.

The style of handbag you select will depend on what you must 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 occasions or circumstances.
