Handbags come in various shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. There're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to create a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, consider them in two different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we can categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags can be found in numerous shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, textbooks, note pad, makeup and much more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and out. These bags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags have become practical and maybe the most common bag carried by girls.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It could be carried in the hand or tucked below your arm. Through the history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can hold your keys, driver's license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These bags are designed the same as a regular clutch but they are much larger and can carry all of your essentials.
Clutches can be soft-bodied, framed or maybe 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're 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.

TOTE BAG
These kinds of casual bags are often made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and frequently only have one main compartment. Tote bags are extremely big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outside actions or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags may also be often called crossbody bags due to how they are worn. These bags are wonderful as you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag are available in a number of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and tourists.
BACKPACK
Another bag which can be popular among students could be the backpack. These kind of bags have two straps and they are intended to be worn on your back. Backpacks are best for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, but they can be canvas or leather. Backpacks may also be great for traveling, hiking, camping along with activities.
The style of handbag you choose depends upon what you should carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Lots of 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.
