Handbags come in many different shapes, styles, materials and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to create a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, consider them in two ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we are going to categorize bags by how you take them.

They are sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and out. These handbags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags have become practical and possibly the most common bag carried by women.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It may be carried in your hand or tucked below your arm. Through the history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can carry 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 hand bags are created just like a typical clutch but they're bigger and can carry all of your essentials.
Clutches may be soft-bodied, framed or even 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 handbags are made 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 than a shoulder bag, but bigger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These kind of casual bags are often made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and usually 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 activities or shopping.

Another bag which is popular among students may be the backpack. These types of bags have two straps and they are intended as worn on your back. Backpacks are perfect for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. These are normally made of nylon, but they may also be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping and various activities.
The style of handbag you choose will depend on what you ought to carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Many 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 dozens of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, matching it for their outfit, destination and mood.
