Bags come in various forms, styles, materials and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to create a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, think about them in 2 different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we will categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags come in many different shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, textbooks, note pad, makeup and much more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and outside. These handbags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder hand bags have become practical and possibly the most common bag carried by ladies.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It can be carried in your hand or tucked under your arm. Over the history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can hold your keys, driver's license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent times, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These hand bags are created the same as a typical clutch but they're bigger and can carry your entire essentials.
Clutches may be soft-bodied, framed or maybe 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 bags are designed to be held by hand. They feature a small handle. They're 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 kinds of casual bags are often made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and frequently only have one main compartment. Tote bags are very big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are good for the beach, outside activities or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags are also often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are good as you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag appear in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are generally worn by students and tourists.
BACKPACK
Another bag that's popular among students may be the backpack. These kinds of bags have two straps and are intended as worn lying on your back. Backpacks are best for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. These are normally made of nylon, but they also can even be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping and other activities.
The style of handbag you choose depends on exactly what you need carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Many 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 lots of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, matching it with their outfit, destination and mood.
