Handbags come in a variety of forms, styles, fabrics and colors. They're designed, not only to hold your belongings, but will also to make a fashion statement. When categorizing handbags, think about them in 2 ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we'll categorize bags by how you take them.

Leather shoulder bag

SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder bags come in numerous shapes and sizes. They're fairly large and may normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, books, note pad, makeup and much more. They're sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and out. These handbags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder hand 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 carried in your hand or tucked under your arm. Through the entire history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often restricted to evenings. Clutches can carry your keys, driving license, a lipstick and that's about it. However in recent years, the "oversized" clutch is growing in popularity. These hand bags are made just like a regular clutch but they're bigger and can carry your entire essentials.

Clutches can be soft-bodied, framed or maybe 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 bags are designed 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 compared to a shoulder bag, but larger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These kind of casual bags will often be made out of canvas. Tote bags are open at the very top and frequently only have one main compartment. Tote bags are extremely big. When over ones shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are perfect for the beach, outdoor activities or buying.

MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags can also be often called crossbody bags as a result of how they are worn. These bags are wonderful because you can't loose them! Worn across the body, messenger bag are available in a variety of styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are generally worn by students and travellers.

BACKPACK
Another bag which can be popular among students may be the backpack. These kinds of bags have 2 straps and are supposed to be worn lying on your back. Backpacks are best for carrying school books, notepads as well as other somewhat heavy items. They're normally made of nylon, but they can be canvas or leather. Backpacks can also be perfect for traveling, hiking, camping along with other activities.
The perception of handbag you choose depends upon 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 events or circumstances. Other women own a large number of handbags and switch their bag regularly, matching it to their outfit, destination and mood.
