Bags come in a number of designs, styles, materials and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to have a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, you should think of them in two ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we can categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder bags come in numerous shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, books, notepad, makeup and even more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and outside. These bags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are very practical and perhaps the most common bag carried by ladies.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of handbag that doesn't have handles. It can be taken in the hand or tucked below your arm. Over the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often reserved for evenings. Clutches can carry your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent times, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These hand bags are designed the same as a regular clutch but they are much larger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches may be soft-bodied, framed or even 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 created to be held by hand. They give you a small handle. They aren't intended to be slung over the shoulder - these bags can only be handheld. They are normally smaller than a shoulder bag, but bigger than a clutch.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These casual bags are often made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the top and frequently have one main compartment. Tote bags are incredibly big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are good for the beach, outside activities or shopping.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags are also often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are wonderful since you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag appear in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are normally worn by students and travellers.
BACKPACK
Another bag which can be popular among students is the backpack. These bags have two straps and they are intended to be worn on your back. Backpacks are fantastic for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. There're normally made of nylon, but they can even be canvas or leather. Backpacks will also be great for traveling, hiking, camping along with activities.
Design for handbag you select depends on what you ought to carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Lots of women provide an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special events or circumstances. Other women own a multitude of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, 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.
