Popular types of handbags

The very first mention of the word handbag in written form was in the early fourteenth century although it is likely they have been around for much longer. Since then the handbag has become a staple fashion accessory. Men and women all around the world enjoy the practicality and style statement that can be made with a handbag, although for men it is often termed ‘the manbag’. There are many different types of handbags for all different occasions.

The shoulder bag.

This type of bag is what most people refer to when they say handbag. This style provides ease of use as it frees up the hands for other tasks. There is more potential for carrying extra weight as it is carried on the shoulder. Shoulder bags have risen in popularity with trends championing ‘oversized’ shoulder bags. This fashionable accessory also provides functionality as the bag can be utilised to carry more without compromising style.

Cross body bags

Cross body bags are very popular with students, especially in the style of satchels. Both males and females take advantage of the relaxed style and practicality. As many students ride a bike to school or college, cross body bags are perfect for this as they give total mobility or freedom of arms to carry folders or larger books. Cross body bags can also carry a substantial amount of weight depending on strap thickness.

Clutch bags

Clutch bags are typically used as accessories to formal wear. Usually very small they serve the purpose of holding essentials such as money, mobile phones and make up but are not ideal to carry much more. Even ‘oversized’ clutch bags are somewhat smaller than the standard handbag and are usually more glamorous. Many companies now match clutch bags with the colour of shoes, dresses and other items to boost the co-ordination of an outfit.
