Bags can be found in various designs, styles, fabrics and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to develop a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, you should think of them in two ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we will categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder bags come in a number of shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, textbooks, note pad, makeup products and much more. They are 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 girls.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of bag that doesn't have handles. It can be carried in the hand or tucked below your arm. Over the history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can hold your keys, driver's license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in the past svereal years, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These bags are designed the same as a regular clutch but they are much larger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches can be soft-bodied, framed as well as 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 give you a small handle. They're not 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.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These kinds of casual bags are often made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and frequently have only one main compartment. Tote bags are incredibly big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are great for the beach, outdoor actions or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags may also be often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are perfect because you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag can be found in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are normally worn by students and travellers.
BACKPACK
Another bag that's popular among students is definitely the backpack. These bags have two straps and are supposed to be worn on your back. Backpacks are great for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. These are normally made of nylon, but they can be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be great for traveling, hiking, camping and other activities.
The style of handbag you select depends on what you must 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 occasions or circumstances. Other women own lots of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, matching it for 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.
