Bags come in a number of designs, styles, fabrics and colors. They'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 different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we can categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder bags come in a number of shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, textbooks, notepad, makeup and much more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and out. These handbags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are extremely practical and maybe the most common bag carried by ladies.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It could be taken in the hand or tucked below your arm. Throughout the history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can take 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 larger and can carry your entire essentials.
Clutches can 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 designed to be held by hand. They have 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 kinds of casual bags are often made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and often have one main compartment. Tote bags are incredibly big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outside actions or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags are also often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are great because you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag come in numerous 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 kind of bags have 2 straps and are intended to be 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 be canvas or leather. Backpacks are also great for traveling, hiking, camping and various activities.
The style of handbag you select will depend on what you need to 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 a multitude of handbags and switch their bag regularly, matching it with 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.
