Handbags come in a number of designs, 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 different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we will categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags can be found in a number of shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, textbooks, note pad, cosmetics and much more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and outside. These handbags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags have become practical and possibly the most common bag carried by ladies.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It may be taken in your hand or tucked below your arm. Throughout the history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can hold your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent times, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These bags are made just like a typical clutch but they're much larger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches could be soft-bodied, framed as well as hard-cased. They come in number 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're not intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They are normally smaller compared to a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These kinds of casual bags are usually made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top in most cases have only one main compartment. Tote bags are very big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outside activities or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags may also be often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are wonderful because you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag appear in a number of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and travellers.
BACKPACK
Another bag which can be popular among students is the backpack. These kind of bags have two straps and they are supposed to be worn lying on your back. Backpacks are best for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. There're normally made of nylon, but they can also be canvas or leather. Backpacks are also perfect for traveling, hiking, camping along with activities.
The perception of handbag you decide depends on what you should 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 events or circumstances. Other women own a large number 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.
