Handbags come in a number of forms, styles, materials and colors. There're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to have a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, you should consider them in two ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we'll categorize bags by how you take 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, cosmetics and much more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and outside. 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 may be taken 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 recent years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These hand bags are made just like a regular clutch but they are much larger and can carry all of your essentials.
Clutches can be soft-bodied, framed or maybe 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 created to be held by hand. They feature a small handle. They aren't 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 kinds of casual bags will often be made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and usually have only one main compartment. Tote bags are very big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are great for the beach, outdoor activities or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags may also be often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are perfect since you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag come in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are normally worn by students and tourists.
BACKPACK
Another bag that's popular among students could be the backpack. These bags have two straps and are intended as worn lying on your back. Backpacks are perfect for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. There're normally made of nylon, but they also may also be canvas or leather. Backpacks may also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping along with other activities.
The perception of handbag you decide depends on what you should carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Many women provide 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 regularly, matching it for 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.
