Handbags can be found in various forms, styles, fabrics and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to make a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, you should consider them in two ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we are going to categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder hand bags can be found in many different shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and may normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, books, notepad, cosmetics and much 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 are extremely practical and maybe the most common bag carried by women.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It could be carried in your hand or tucked below your arm. Over the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can hold your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These hand bags are created just like a typical clutch but they're bigger and can carry your entire essentials.
Clutches might be soft-bodied, framed or even hard-cased. They come in variety 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 created to be held by hand. They feature a small handle. They aren't intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They're normally smaller than a shoulder bag, but bigger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These casual bags will often be made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top in most cases have only one main compartment. Tote bags are very big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outside activities or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags may also be often called crossbody bags due to how they are worn. These bags are great as you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag can be found in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are generally worn by students and tourists.
BACKPACK
Another bag that's popular among students is the backpack. These kind of bags have 2 straps and they are intended as worn lying on your back. Backpacks are best for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, but they also may also be canvas or leather. Backpacks are also perfect for traveling, hiking, camping and other activities.
The perception of handbag you choose depends on what you must carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Many 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 dozens of handbags and switch their bag regularly, matching it to 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.
