Handbags come in many different designs, styles, materials and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but 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 carry it. First we'll categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder bags can be found in numerous shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, books, notepad, makeup and 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 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 can be taken in the hand or tucked below your arm. Through the entire history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can take 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 created the same as a regular clutch but they're bigger and can carry all of your essentials.
Clutches could be soft-bodied, framed or even 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 you 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 bigger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These kinds of casual bags will often be made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and usually have only one main compartment. Tote bags are incredibly big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outdoor actions or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags can also be often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are wonderful as 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 that is popular among students could be the backpack. These kind of bags have two straps and they are intended as worn lying on your back. Backpacks are fantastic for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, but they also can also be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be great for traveling, hiking, camping along with activities.
The perception of handbag you choose depends upon exactly what you need carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Lots of women provide an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special occasions or circumstances.
