Different types of Bags

Bags can be found in a number of designs, styles, materials and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to create a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, consider them in 2 ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we can categorize bags by how you carry them.

Leather shoulder bag

SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder hand bags can be found in a number of shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and may normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, books, note pad, makeup products and much more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and outside. These handbags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are very practical and possibly the most common bag carried by women.

CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It can be carried in your hand or tucked below your arm. Through the entire history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can carry 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 made the same as a typical clutch but they're bigger and can carry your entire essentials.

Clutches might be soft-bodied, framed or maybe 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 feature a small handle. They are not 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 kind of casual bags are often made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and often have only 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, outside activities or buying.

MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags may also be often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are good as you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag can be found in a number of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are normally worn by students and tourists.

BACKPACK
Another bag which is popular among students could be the backpack. These kind of bags have two straps and are intended as worn on your back. Backpacks are best for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, but they also can also be canvas or leather. Backpacks may also be great for traveling, hiking, camping along with other activities.
Design for handbag you decide will depend on what you need to carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Many women offer an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special occasions or circumstances. Other women own dozens of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, 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.
