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

SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder bags can be found in a lot of shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, books, notepad, cosmetics and even more. They're 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 perhaps the most common bag carried by women.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of handbag that doesn't have handles. It may be taken in the hand or tucked below your arm. Over the history of handbags, 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 is growing in popularity. These bags are made the same as a regular clutch but they are bigger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches may be soft-bodied, framed or even 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 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're normally smaller compared to a shoulder bag, but bigger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These types of casual bags are usually made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and frequently only have one main compartment. Tote bags are extremely big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outside activities or shopping.
