Different kinds of HANDBAGS
Bags can be found in many different designs, styles, materials and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to create a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, consider them in 2 different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you take it. First we can categorize bags by how you take them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER BAG
Shoulder bags can be found in many different shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, textbooks, note pad, makeup and more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and out. These bags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are extremely practical and possibly the most common bag carried by ladies.
CLUTCH
A clutch is a type of handbag that doesn't have handles. It can be carried in the hand or tucked under your arm. Over the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often reserved for evenings. Clutches can take your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in the past svereal years, the "oversized" clutch has grown in popularity. These bags are made the same as a regular clutch but they're much larger and can carry all your essentials.
Clutches can be soft-bodied, framed or maybe 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 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.
Colorful tote bag
TOTE BAG
These kinds of casual bags are usually made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top in most cases have only one main compartment. Tote bags are extremely big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are great for the beach, outside actions or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags can also be often called crossbody bags due to how they are worn. These bags are perfect as you can't loose them! Worn over the body, messenger bag can be found in a number of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and travellers.
BACKPACK
Another bag which can be popular among students could be the backpack. These types of bags have 2 straps and they are intended to be worn on your back. Backpacks are fantastic for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, but they can even be canvas or leather. Backpacks will also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping and other activities.
The style of handbag you decide depends on what you should 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 for their outfit, destination and mood.
