Bags can be found in many different shapes, styles, fabrics and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to develop a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, you should think of them in 2 different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry 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're fairly large and can normally hold your wallet, keys, cell phone, textbooks, note pad, cosmetics and more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with various pockets both inside and outside. These bags are designed to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder bags are extremely practical and maybe 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 your hand or tucked below your arm. Through the history of handbags, clutches have been relatively small and often reserved for 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 hand bags are made just like a regular clutch but they're larger and can carry all your essentials.

Clutches might be soft-bodied, framed or even hard-cased. They come in number 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 made 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 are normally smaller than a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.

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 ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are good for the beach, outside actions or shopping.

MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags are also often called crossbody bags because of how they are worn. These bags are good since you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag come in a number of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are commonly worn by students and travellers.

Another bag which is popular among students is the backpack. These types of bags have two straps and are intended as worn on your back. Backpacks are fantastic for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. They are normally made of nylon, but they also may also be canvas or leather.

Design for handbag you choose depends upon what you should carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Lots of women have 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 on a regular basis, matching it for their outfit, destination and mood.
