Bags come in a variety of designs, styles, fabrics and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to make a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, you should consider 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 take them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder hand bags come in a lot of shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, textbooks, notepad, makeup and more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and outside. These bags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder hand bags have become practical and maybe the most common bag carried by ladies.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It can be taken in the hand or tucked under your arm. Through the entire history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can hold your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent times, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These bags are made the same as a typical clutch but they are larger and can carry all of your essentials.
Clutches could 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 designed 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 are normally smaller compared to a shoulder bag, but bigger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These casual bags are usually made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the top in most cases have 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 buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags may also be often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are great since you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag can be found in a number of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are normally worn by students and tourists.
BACKPACK
Another bag which is popular among students is the backpack. These kinds of bags have 2 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. These are normally made of nylon, but they can also be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be great for traveling, hiking, camping and various activities.
The style of handbag you select depends upon what you should 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 occasions or circumstances. Other women own dozens 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.
