Types
Handbag can be divided into many types, which can be used in different occasions, such as office, traveling, party, etc. You can make decision based on what to be carried and where to use it. Here we only introduce several kinds of them.
If you are choosing a handbag to carry your phone, keys, wallet to office everyday, then a shoulder-bag should be selected. This kind of bag include many options on different shape, material and size, but all of them provides one or two long handlers which can be worn over your shoulder. Most shoulder-bags are big enough to hold all your daily stuff, which makes it the most popular handbags used by male or female.
Backpack is getting popular, especially in young people. This kind of bag offers two wide and long straps to be worn on both shoulders and the bag can sit comfortably on the back, which make the bag can carry heavy items. Original designed for students to carry books, many people use it to carry laptop or tablet. If you need to carry your laptop to office everyday or need a bag to carry some heavy belongings, then the backpack must be the best choice.
If you are choosing a small handbag to carry simple and light items (such as keys and mobile-phone) in daily life, then you should consider clutch. Clutch is a kind of real handbag because most of them do not offer handle, you have to catch the bag-body in your hand. Most clutch is small.
If you need to select a handbag to keep your items safe, then a crossbody-bag should be used. This kind of bag offers a long strap to make the strap sit on one shoulder after across the body. You don't need to put the bag down when take out or put in item, which make the bag not easy to be lost.
Comfort
When you select a handbag, it has to be comfortable to user, because the bag will be used daily or very often.
You should consider, does it too hard to make your arm ache? can it sit comfortable under your arm? does it sliding off your shoulder? Is there a strange smell ? Doest the metal component scratch your arm or cloth ?
In general, it is a comfortable handbag if there is no above problem. If possible, please try the bag on your own to see whether is it really comfortable.
Light
We have to carry too much stuff with us every day, such as keys, phone, paper, wallet, water bottle or even a laptop. This is heavy enough for our shoulder and back. And you need to take the handbag to office, do shopping, travel ... This means the handbag should sat on you for a long time, how can you bear a heavy bag to make your shoulder ache ? A heavy handbag only makes the situation more worse.
A light bag perhaps not a good bag, but a good handbag must be light, at least not heavy. Please choose a light handbag when it is empty. It is helpful to make your daily easy and relaxed.
Size
Size should be considered when choose handbag. A handbag at wrong size makes you seems wired and unfashionable. An appropriate handbag makes you seems more beautiful and elegant.
In a simple words, if you are slim and petite, then you need to choose a small handbag. Large or medium sized handbag is suggested if you are very tall or tall.
Shape
Right selection of a handbag shape makes you seems more stylish. The bag shape should be choose based on your body shape, on the opposite direction.
A rectangular handbag is recommended if you are not tall, and try to avoid should handbag with long strap.
Round handbag is suggested if you are very tall and slim. Do not choose shoulder handbag with short strap, because it makes you seems even more taller; bag with long strap is a good choice.
Pockets
You are suggested to choose a handbag with reasonable arrangement of pockets, which makes your handbag more functionally. For example, you can always put keys in pocket 1, phone in pocket2, car keys in pocket 3, etc. This help you to avoid digging deep into the bag to find your keys.
Except the inside pocket, a single outside bag with zip closure is also a good choice. You can put something not very important but often needed things, such as tissue.
A handbag with well-designed pockets makes your bag tidy, save your time and help you keep in good mood.
Depth
A deep handbag help you to carry more things; but a too deep bag make it very hard to find items, especially when most of them sink at the bottom.
For a daily used shoulder bag, 10 inches wide and 7 inches high is good. If you need to take your laptop with you, a backpack of 14 to 15 inches is enough.
Color
