Different types of womens handbags

From clutch bags and cross body bags to tote bags and shoulder bags, a woman can never have too many handbags and because there are so many different styles of bags around you'll certainly find lots that take your fancy.

Clutch bags

If you're looking for a small and feminine party or evening bag then a clutch bag will be the perfect choice – it has just enough room for your bits and bobs but is small enough not to feel to heavy or distract from your outfit. Although designed to be held in the hand, you'll find that most clutches tend to have small straps to make them easier to hold. Including satin, glitter or sequin, there's always a big choice of clutch bags on offer.

Grab bags

A grab bag is often used as a casual everyday bag that's not too small or too big. You'll find the right amount of room for your must have bits and bobs while if you need a little extra room for a night out then a grab bag maybe the answer. As you would expect with the name, they are meant to be held with a short shoulder strap although some have longer ones that can be thrown onto the shoulder.

Cross body bags

Not only are they practical and safe, cross body bags were also one of the biggest trends in handbags last year – what more could you ask for? Cross body bags, as you would expect, go diagonally across the body which means you don't have to worry about carry it around and it's also very safe. Although typically quite a sporty design, the recent fashion craze has seen lots of glamorous cross body bags too.

Shoulder bags

The traditional style of bag, a shoulder bag typically has a medium length shoulder strap that can usually be altered in length and is designed to sit on the shoulder and come to above the waistline. You'll find one of the biggest ranges of handbags with shoulder bags to suit what you're looking for.

Tote bags

Made famous by the WAG trend, this oversize style of bag has become the must have for any glamorous girl who wants to look just as fabulous as their favorite celebrities. With plenty of room for your bits and bobs and more, tote bags have so much room for everything you'll need. Usually with an emphasis on looking designer-esque, tote bags are often having diamantes, jewels or even snakeskin like finishes.
