Handbags 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, you should think of them in 2 ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we'll categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder hand bags can be found in many different shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, books, note pad, cosmetics and even more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and out. These handbags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are extremely practical and maybe the most common bag carried by girls.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It may be taken in your hand or tucked under your arm. Through the entire history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can hold your keys, driver's license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent times, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These hand bags are made just like a typical clutch but they're much larger and can carry all of your essentials.
Clutches might 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 bags are designed to be held by hand. They give you 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 casual bags will often be made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the top in most cases have one main compartment. Tote bags are extremely big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outdoor activities or shopping.

Messenger hand bags may also be often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are great because you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag can be found in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are normally worn by students and travelers.

Another bag that's popular among students is definitely the backpack. These kind of bags have two straps and they are intended to be worn on your back.

Backpacks are also perfect for traveling, hiking, camping and various activities.
The perception of handbag you select will depend on what you ought to 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 occasions or circumstances. Other women own dozens of handbags and switch their bag regularly, matching it with their outfit, destination and mood.
