Bags can be found in various forms, styles, materials and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to have a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, you should think of them in two ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we can categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder bags come in many different shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, textbooks, notepad, makeup and even more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and outside. These handbags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are very practical and maybe the most common bag carried by women.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It can be taken in the hand or tucked under your arm. Throughout the history of handbags, 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 recent times, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These bags are created the same as a regular clutch but they're bigger and can carry all of your 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 you 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 larger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These kinds of casual bags are usually made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the top in most cases have only one main compartment. Tote bags are incredibly big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are good 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 good because you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag appear in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and tourists.
BACKPACK
Another bag which is popular among students is the backpack. These kind of bags have two straps and they are intended as worn lying on your back. Backpacks are perfect for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. These are normally made of nylon, but they can be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping and various activities.
The style of handbag you decide depends on what you should carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Many 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 multitude of handbags and switch their bag regularly, 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.
