Handbags

Purse, pouch, and even luggage at times, these are some terms that refer to a bag. Did you know that the oldest purse ever found dates back from the 2200 BC? It was decorated with dogs teeth. Handbags were initially designed for men; these were made from strings tied around their waist for everyday use as well a figure of power. As times go by, the size and the material evolve from a dog’s teeth to precious metals such as gold and silver. Women started carrying purses as women began to be empowered by bringing their own money and belongings. In the 19^th century, as more and more women have started working, the variety of materials and demand soared up and then later equipped with zippered compartments and multiple pockets designed for modern women with their active lifestyle. Handbags of today are made from almost anything that our imagination can come up, fashioned with various types to cater to each’s unique style and needs.

Types of Handbags

1. Tote bags are fashioned with two separate hand strap and a traditionally open and wide opening. Square to rectangular in shape and made of string fabrics for it is usually made to carry a sizeable amount of articles. It may be a short to medium-length handles and spacious inner compartment. At present, Totes are fashioned with a zipper closure or a clip-on clasp to provide security for or personal belongings.
2. Sling bags are designed with a long thin strap that can be used as a shoulder bag or a messenger bag, a design that frees both hands that are interchangeable with a crossbody bag.
3. Crossbody or messenger bags are fashioned like a sling bag characterized by a long thick strap worn across the body that rests on the hip. This may range from small to medium sizes, with a flap covered front.
4. Clutch bags or wristlets are big purses or wallet that has no handle. Evening clutch bags are made of metals or soft fabrics decorated with glittery gems or beads. Some are made with a small wrist strap for easy and secure carry. Clutch bags for men are usually made from a leather fabric. Entrepreneurs would use this to place their chequebooks and other small essential belongings.
5. Laptop Bags are big with a wide zippered opening. Built with a padded interior with a Velcro strap to cradle the laptop and protect it from abrasion and to soften sudden impacts. This has a single short handle, and a long strap fastened on the sides for versatility and comfort.
6. Duffel bags are mainly used for travelling and sports. These are built with a barrel or rectangular body, flat or rounded laterals with a spacious inner compartment and a zipper closure.
7. Satchels or school bags are characterized with a single, long strap initially designed to carry books. It is carried like a crossbody bag, across the body and has a distinct flap closure. Nowadays, this is offered in small-sized like a small structured handbag for women with a hard and sturdy frame with a single or double; buckle metal clasp.
8. Hobo bags are large and made with soft and flexible materials. Its distinct feature is a slumped middle and a single medium width strap.

How to Carry Your Handbag

Now that you have chosen the type of handbag that suits you let us know the ways to carry your bag.

1. Arm Hold

The most lady-like and shall we say, a classy way carry a handbag, wherein the handles dangle in the middle of your arm. The advantage with this type of hold is that you are able to free both your hands to carry anything like mobile phone and your coffee, but the disadvantage is that your arm would get tired mainly if your bag is heavy. The weight would affect the blood flow, which may lead to numbing your fingers and pain. 

2. Dangle

This option is fitting for small to medium-sized sling bags, wherein you carry it by its long strap, shortened of course, so the bag would only reach just below your knees. This creates a relaxed and casual look, perfect when wearing an overcoat with a pair of jeans.

3. Shoulder Hang

This type is a more chic way to carry your sling bags or any kind of bags with a long single strap. Make sure that the bag is not too short or long; just long enough to nestle on your hip. 

4. Classic Hold

This hold is where you carry your bag by the handle. You can hold your bag on the side (for tall women), or you can carry it with a bent arm to elongate your height.

5. Hold / Clutch

Yes, we know that we do hold our clutch bags by the base, but this type of hold is not only suitable for small purses. We can learn a thing or two from the A-list start where they look fashionable by kind of folding a large soft tote in the middle and carrying it as a big clutch bag.

Leather

The leather fabric is undoubtedly one of the most durable material with an organic origin. Made various animal skins from bovine and crocodile origin, the animal skin or hide is preserved through a process known as tanning and made into apparels such as shoes, wallets, handbags and others.

Types of Leather Used on Handbag

Crocodile Leather

The first thing that we have to establish is that real crocodile or alligator leather is expensive, this is due to its limited availability due to certificates for its production and trades. You may distinguish a genuine crocodile leather from embossed leather by its scales for genuine gator leather appears irregularly rounded and squared with a shrunk appearance. In short, it must not have a perfect pattern.

Embossed Leather

These are made from bovine leather stamped to replicate a specific pattern such as crocodile, snake, ostrich and others. Stamping is done with the use of heat and high pressure to emboss the desired design. This is characterized by a protective water-based finish that is oil and water repellant.

Cowhide / Bovine Leather

This is made from the skin of cows, buffalos, sheep, goats, and deer. Cowhide is the most commonly used bovine leather for its durability and versatility. It has a thick and scratch-resistant property for long-lasting use.

Pull up leather

Waxed, oiled or greased leather is made from the nubuck leather. Nubuck is a top grain leather that underwent a dyeing process and coated with a mixture of paraffin and oil to create that shiny-waxed finish.

PU leather

Faux or artificial, or bonded leather is made from split leather or reconstituted leather coated with polyurethane to bond the fibres together. Unlike real leather that can last from 10 to 20 years, PVC leather has a shorter life span though it can last longer when cared for.

How to care for your leather bag

1. Use a slightly wet cloth is cleaning your PU leather bag.
2. Use leather conditioner to keep our bag protected and in excellent condition.
3. Always test any product in a small portion of the bag before applying it all over the bag.

What is my style, when and where am I going to use it? These three questions should be on top of our mind in choosing our handbags. Another thing, size does matter. However, no matter what type or size your bag may be, it is all about the confidence. So, do not be afraid to throw in some personality in the equation so you and your bag would never be out of place wherever you may go.
