The Various Types of Designer Handbags and Bags
By Marcia McNamara
When you are looking to buy a designer handbag or bag and you are not sure
exactly which one to choose we have outlined the different bag names and their
individual uses. Below are the descriptions of the various handbag and bag
choices available to you. Depending on your personal needs and preferences you
have a large choice to choose from.
We have also included different types of duffel bags for everyday use and
travel.
Type of Bags
1. A Clutch, a small, yet long (rectangular), evening bag without a handle.
2. A Satchel, a soft-sided case usually of leather, used to carry papers or
books; usually has a handle and often has a strap. The strap is often worn so
that it diagonally crosses the body, with the bag hanging on the opposite hip,
rather than hanging directly down from the shoulder.
The main difference between a satchel and a briefcase is that a satchel is
soft-sided. As well, satchels often have straps and briefcases never do.
There is some overlap between a satchel and some styles of messenger bag,
however messenger bags come in a wider variety of materials and form factors,
and messenger bags always have a strap.
3. A Duffle bag, a large bag usually used for travel or sports. A duffel bag
(or duffle bag, kit bag, gym bag) is a large cylindrical bag made of cloth (or
other fabric) with a drawstring closure at the top.
Different types of duffel bags
Rolling duffel bag
Duffel bags with built-in wheels and a sturdy, retractable handle are made
specifically for strain-free travelling. These bags are typically made out of
polyester or other durable materials, are backed with PVC for extra durability,
provide sturdy zippers, and are sized to fit within the limits of most airline
carry-on regulations.
Expandable duffel bags
Is perfect duffel bag for the person who always brings more stuff home from a
trip than he left with.
Carry-on Duffel Bags
Carry-on duffel bags are great for travelling especially when travelling by
plane. But remember to check with the airline you are travelling with what
weight limits apply.
Upright duffel bags
Upright meets the ultimate goal of all luggage pieces with its succinct design
and great capacity. With unique welded steel frame, it can withstand any hard
travel condition. Being the most widely used luggage, they are perfect storage
solutions for various travel needs.
Lightweight duffel bags
Lightweight duffel bags are perfect for kid's luggage. It is small in storage
and rich in colours. Kid's luggage includes backpack for schooling, and kid's
duffel bags for an overnight trip.
4. A Tote, a medium to large bag with two straps. A tote bag is normally made
of treated canvas, nylon or heavy pebbled leather. Some totes come with a zipper
compartment that divides the bag into sections.
5. A Messenger bag, a bag with a long strap to be worn across the body. A
messenger bag (also called a courier bag) is a type of sack, usually made out of
some kind of cloth (natural or synthetic), that is worn over one shoulder with a
strap that winds around the chest resting the bag on the lower back. Messenger
bags are often used by bicycle messengers, though they are increasingly becoming
an urban fashion icon. Some types of messenger bags are called carryalls.
6. A Sling bag, a bag with a long strap (similar to a messenger bag), yet
smaller. A sling bag is a type of handbag that is worn over one shoulder with a
strap that winds around the chest resting the bag on the lower back.
Often, as these devices are used frequently by men that carry them, related
accessories, and other things in these bags, the bags are often called man
purses or man bags.
In conclusion after choosing a style that suits your personal needs it is
advisable to buy a good quality handbag or bag as they will last longer, look
fantastic and keep their value. When you buy a quality product such as a
designer brand Prada, Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Fendi, Ed Hardy, Chloe, Balenciaga, JP
Tods to name just a few these are an excellent purchase for any one.
