Handbags come in a number of designs, styles, fabrics and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to make a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, you should consider them in two different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we are going to categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder bags come in many different shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, books, note pad, makeup products and more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and out. These bags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags have become practical and perhaps the most common bag carried by females.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It could be carried in the hand or tucked under your arm. Through the history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often reserved for evenings. Clutches can hold 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 bags are made just like a regular clutch but they are much larger and can carry all of your essentials.
Clutches could 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 a small handle. They are not intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They're normally smaller compared to a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These casual bags are often made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and often have only one main compartment. Tote bags are incredibly big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are great for the beach, outdoor actions or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags are also often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are wonderful as you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag can be found in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are generally worn by students and travellers.
BACKPACK
Another bag that is popular among students is definitely the backpack. These types of bags have two straps and they are intended as worn lying on your back. Backpacks are great for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, however they can be canvas or leather. Backpacks may also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping along with other activities.
The style of handbag you choose depends upon what you should carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. A lot 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 multitude of handbags and switch their bag regularly, matching it to 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.
