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 make a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, you should think of them in two ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we are going to categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder bags come in numerous shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, books, notepad, cosmetics and much more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and out. These bags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder hand bags are extremely practical and maybe 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 the hand or tucked under your arm. Over the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can carry your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent years, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These hand bags are created just like a regular clutch but they are much larger and can carry your entire essentials.
Clutches may 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 handbags are designed to be held by hand. They have 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 types of casual bags are usually made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and frequently have 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 bags may also be often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are wonderful since 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 travelers.
BACKPACK
Another bag that is popular among students may be the backpack. These kind of bags have 2 straps and they are intended as 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 may also be canvas or leather. Backpacks may also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping and other activities.
Design for handbag you decide depends upon what you need to carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Many women provide an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special events or circumstances. Other women own lots of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, matching it with their outfit, destination and mood.
