Handbags can be found in various designs, styles, materials and colors. They are designed, not only to hold your belongings, but also to make a fashion statement. When categorizing bags, think about them in two different ways - the shape of the the bag and the way you carry it. First we are going to categorize bags by how you carry them.
Leather shoulder bag
SHOULDER Handbag
Shoulder hand bags can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes. They are fairly large and might normally hold your wallet, keys, mobile phone, textbooks, note pad, makeup products and much more. They are sometimes compartmentalized with different pockets both inside and out. These handbags are created to be worn over the shoulder. Shoulder hand bags have become practical and perhaps the most common bag carried by women.
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. Through the history of bags, clutches have been relatively small and often accessible evenings. Clutches can take your keys, driving 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 the same as a typical clutch but they're much 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 bags 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're normally smaller than a shoulder bag, but bigger than a clutch.

TOTE BAG
These kind of casual bags are often made from canvas. Tote bags are open at the top in most cases have only one main compartment. Tote bags are very big. When over your shoulder, tote bags usually fall around elbow length. Tote bags are great for the beach, outside actions or buying.
MESSENGER BAG
Messenger hand bags may also be 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 can be found in numerous styles and sizes. Crossbody bags are generally worn by students and travelers.
BACKPACK
Another bag that's popular among students could be the backpack. These types of bags have 2 straps and are intended to be worn on your back. Backpacks are great for carrying school books, notepads and other somewhat heavy items. These are normally made of nylon, but they can be canvas or leather. Backpacks will also be great for traveling, hiking, camping along with other activities.
The perception of handbag you choose depends on what you should carry, where you are going and your personal style preferences. Lots of women offer an favorite that they carry almost daily, only switching to a smaller or larger bag for special occasions or circumstances. Other women own dozens of handbags and switch their bag on a regular basis, matching it for their outfit, destination and mood.
