Bags come in a variety of shapes, styles, materials and colors. There're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to create a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, you should think of them in 2 ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we can categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder handbag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder bags can be found in many different shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, books, note pad, makeup products and much more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and outside. These handbags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder hand 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 carried in the hand or tucked below your arm. Through the entire history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can carry your keys, driver's license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in the past svereal years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These bags are created the same as a typical clutch but they're larger and can carry your entire essentials.
Clutches can 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 handbags 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 compared to a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These kind of casual bags will often be made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the top in most cases only have one main compartment. Tote bags are incredibly big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outside activities or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags can also be often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are wonderful because you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag can be found in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are generally worn by students and tourists.
BACKPACK
Another bag that's popular among students may be the backpack. These bags have 2 straps and are intended to be worn lying on your back. Backpacks are great for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, however they can even 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 need to 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 a large number of handbags and switch their bag regularly, matching it to their outfit, destination and mood.
