The shortest way to a man’s heart is
through his stomach and the shortest way to a woman’s heart is through her
handbag. A great many thought has gone into that little piece of stitched
leather and it’ll help you a long way if you can tell a tote from a clutch. In
some circles it is almost considered a fashion faux pas when you can’t tell
fashion accessories apart, irrespective of the fact whether you’re a member of
such a circle the AntidoteStore welcomes you to a crash course in handbags.
Let’s begin,
1.
Baguette: A favorite of the modern
women, this particular bag is named after the French bread whom it resembles.
It’s shape is relatively long from side to side and smaller from top to bottom.
2. Bowling bag purse : Named and styled after the 90s bag that were used by men to carry,
as the name suggests, bowling balls. Never let it be said men never contributed
to fashion.
3. Clutch : A fashion necessity for everyone from a princess to a professional
work women. This bag is recognizable since it has no handles and is usually
compact.
4. Drawstring: Used in Victorian times to keep coins and other trinkets, it has
since evolved into a more practical shape and is nowadays also used as evening
bags and travel bags.
5. Hobo: Contrary to what the name suggests, this bag is quite graceful and
elegant. Made in the shape of a large crescent hanging from the shoulder, with
a zipper in the middle.
6. Muff: A bag made specifically for colder areas, this is made of real or
faux fur, wool or velvet and has zippered compartments or a slip openings where
the women can keep their hands.
7. Tote: A necessity for the modern women owing to it’s ability to carry
large quantities of goods that other smaller bags cannot. Hence it’s nickname,
the ‘shopper‘.
8. Satchel: Used in the older times for travel, a satchel is a bag for casual day
to day activities. Recognizable with the long shoulder strap and multitude of
pockets, usually made of leather.
