Bags come in various shapes, styles, materials and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to make a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, think about them in two ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we are going to categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder bags come in many different shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, books, notepad, makeup products and much more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and out. These handbags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder hand bags have become practical and perhaps the most common bag carried by girls.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It may be carried 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 carry your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These bags are created just like a typical clutch but they're larger and can carry all of your essentials.
Clutches might be soft-bodied, framed or even 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 bags are designed to be held by hand. They feature a small handle. They aren't intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They are normally smaller than a shoulder bag, but bigger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These types of casual bags will often be made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the top in most cases have only one main compartment. Tote bags are very big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are great for the beach, outdoor activities or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags may also be often called crossbody bags as a result 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 generally worn by students and travelers.
BACKPACK
Another bag which is popular among students is the backpack. These bags have two straps and are intended to be worn on your back. Backpacks are great for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. These are normally made of nylon, however they can also be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be great for traveling, hiking, camping along with activities.
The perception of handbag you choose depends upon what you should carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Lots of women have an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special occasions or circumstances. Other women own a large number of handbags and switch their bag regularly, matching it with 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.
