As sexist as fashion can get, many women clothing still do not provide pockets large enough to fit the size of growing cell phone (or a crumpled tissue, without looking like a potato bud). Some even worse provide illusionary pockets !! Really ?!
Amidst this baffling situation, several types of bags evolved as the solution. In this post, we will discuss the top 5 types of bag other than the regular purse (handbag/shoulder bag whatever you call it!! )
1) TOTE BAG This bag is often a bit larger in size than the normal handbag. Typically it doesn't have any zipper or locking for the main compartment. Many of these bags are now being used as reusable shopping bags instead of the plastic bags. Made out of sturdy and light material Jute or heavy canvas this bag can hold reasonable weight.
2) MESSENGER BAG Usually, with a long chain or strap that can go across the body, this bag is also called the crossbody bag. Earlier it was used for the delivery of couriers. But in recent times these have come up as fashion icons. Its smaller and stylish version is called sling bag and is commonly used by the younger generation. It keeps the hands free, saves the shoulder from ache and is pretty stylish.
3) THE CLUTCH This teeny-tiny bag is chiefly used during the soiree or other such occasions where not much is required to carry. Often held in hand or under the arm, these bags are often symbols of opulence and status. The women in the British royal family are often seen carrying them.
4)BACKPACK Backpacks are often used by students for carrying books to schools or colleges. But in recent times, with the much smaller, fashionable, eye-catching options of backpacks becoming commercial, many people are opting them. They are best for short day trips with friends or can be carried even to the office. They too keep your hands free so that you can catch the bustling metro comfortably.
5)THE WAIST BAG These belt bags are quite a fashion nowadays. A small fabric pouch attached to the belt going around your waist is something very secure and easy to carry and deal with.
There are are several other types of bags more or less used around the world, but these are the basics. Hope you liked the post. Add a comment below and let me know which bag you are currently using.
