Handbags can be found in various shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to make a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, consider them in 2 ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we can categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder bags can be found in a number of shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, books, note pad, cosmetics and much more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and out. These handbags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are extremely practical and perhaps the most common bag carried by ladies.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It could be carried in the hand or tucked under your arm. Throughout the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can take your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent times, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These hand bags are created just like a regular clutch but they are bigger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches could be soft-bodied, framed as well as 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 give you 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 larger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These kind of casual bags are usually made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top in most cases have only one main compartment. Tote bags are extremely big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are good for the beach, outside actions or buying.

Messenger hand bags can also be often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are good since you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag appear in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and tourists.
BACKPACK
Another bag that is popular among students may be the backpack. These kind of bags have two straps and they are supposed to be worn lying on your back. Backpacks are fantastic for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, but they can also be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be great for traveling, hiking, camping and various activities.
Design for handbag you choose will depend on exactly what you need carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. A lot of women provide an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special occasions or circumstances. Other women own a multitude of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, matching it to their outfit, destination and mood.
