Bags can be found in a variety of forms, styles, fabrics and colors. There'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 2 different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we can categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and may normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, textbooks, note pad, makeup products and even more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and outside. These handbags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder hand 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 can be carried in your hand or tucked below your arm. Through the history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can take 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 designed the same as a regular clutch but they're much larger and can carry your entire essentials.
Clutches could be soft-bodied, framed or maybe hard-cased. They come in various 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 created to be held by hand. They feature a small handle. They are not intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They are normally smaller compared to a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These casual bags are usually made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and frequently only have 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, outside activities or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags can also be often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are great since you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag can be found in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and travellers.
BACKPACK
Another bag which can be popular among students may be the backpack. These kind 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. There're normally made of nylon, but they can also be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be great for traveling, hiking, camping along with activities.
The perception of handbag you decide depends upon what you need to carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Lots 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 lots 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.
