Handbags come in various forms, styles, materials and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to create a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, you should think of them in two ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we will categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags can be found in numerous shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and may normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, books, note pad, makeup 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 hand bags have become practical and maybe the most common bag carried by ladies.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It could be taken in the hand or tucked under your arm. Through 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 the past svereal years, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These hand bags are made the same as a typical clutch but they're bigger and can carry all of your 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 handbags are designed to be held by hand. They give a small handle. They are not 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 kinds of casual bags are often made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and often only have one main compartment. Tote bags are very 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 can also be often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are wonderful since you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag appear in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are normally worn by students and travelers.
BACKPACK
Another bag that's popular among students could be the backpack. These types of bags have two straps and they are intended to be worn on your back. Backpacks are perfect for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. They are 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.
The perception of handbag you decide will depend on what you need 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 for their outfit, destination and mood.
