Bags come in a variety of shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to develop a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, consider 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 take them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags come in a number of shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, books, note pad, cosmetics and much more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and out. These handbags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are very practical and perhaps the most common bag carried by girls.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of handbag that doesn't have handles. It may be taken in the hand or tucked below your arm. Over the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often reserved for evenings. Clutches can take your keys, driver's license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent times, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These bags are designed the same as a typical clutch but they're larger and can carry your entire essentials.
Clutches may 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 created to be held by hand. They give 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 bigger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These kind of casual bags are usually made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and frequently have only one main compartment. Tote bags are extremely big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are good for the beach, outdoor actions or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags may also be often called crossbody bags due to 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 can be popular among students may be the backpack. These bags have two straps and they are intended to be worn lying on your back. Backpacks are best for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. These are normally made of nylon, but they also can even be canvas or leather. Backpacks will also be great for traveling, hiking, camping along with other activities.
The style of handbag you decide depends upon exactly what you need carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Lots of 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 multitude 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.
