A woman's handbag reflects her individual style.
For some individuals, their handbags are some of the most important accessories they own, particularly as a handbag is a reflection of one's individual taste and personality. No matter what the desired style is, whether it's a trendy tote, cute little clutch, business-minded satchel or darling drawstring, the right handbag is just an idea away.
Satchels
A doctor's bag is a stylish alternative to a briefcase.
A satchel bag has a wide, flat base, features a clasp or zipper, and is equipped with handles or a strap. Also built with a wide flat base and sturdy leather handles, a vintage doctor's bags is able to perform the same workload as a satchel purse. Additionally, antique luggage, such as a carpet bag, works well as a satchel. The spacious interior and wide opening top of a carpet bag allow files and folders to be stored in the bag as well as other personal necessities.
Clutches
Thin wooden boxes can be used as clutch handbags.
A clutch-style handbag has no handles; instead, it is carried under the arm or grasped in the hand. For a fun clutch full of personality, consider using vintage fabric pencil holders or flat tin tobacco cans; satiny make-up bags can double as elegant evening clutches. Thin wooden boxes with fitted or hinged lids offer a wide variety of options for the clutch enthusiast.
Totes
Shopping bags come in every shape and size, and make great everyday totes.
The tote handbag was inspired by the large, sturdy, open-topped, shopping bag. Sold at most retail stores, large fabric shopping bags are available in a wide range of interesting designs; purchase a bag featuring a design that appeals to you and use it as a fun tote. Alternatively, you can purchase a design-free tote and personalize it with easy-to-use craft items to reflect your interests.
Drawstrings
A repurposed velvet bag can be used as an evening bag.
A drawstring handbag has a gathered string closure that, once synched, may form the straps of the bag. The bag may also have a separate carrying handle. Old velvet drawstring bags, such as those that once contained jewelry or alcohol products, work beautifully as evening bags. To create a unique drawstring bag that is all you, use a simple pattern for a drawstring bag, some fun fabric and some decorative cording.
