Handbags & Purses – My Style Statement
Laura Linney once said “I have a bag with a toothbrush and toothpaste and all the things I might need during the day. I call the bag my trailer.” Now that’s how she drew attention to how important a good handbag is in a lady’s life.
We work, we work out, we party and we shop. Women today do not just want to be elegant and desirable, but also want a perfect match for everything in their wardrobes. They have their own ways to accommodate and assort things. And with a fine handbag, stuff just falls in place as if it was made to be carried after all.
Gone are the days when the selection of a handbag revolved around just two parameters –comfy and black. We are in an era, where with the kind of options that we have, there is simply no bar to the kind of factors that can influence one’s decision.
For me the choice depends on the look, the material, the handles, the color, the space and the cost. A Hobo Bag can be a best bargain for work. This crescent shaped bag will give you just some space for your shoulders (which is snug enough), with a big compartment that will accommodate all your necessities at work like a lipstick, a moisturizer, tissues, cell-phone, keys, a pack of nuts or energy bars etc. Where a Hobo can be a good carrier of essentials, a Satchel Bag can also be an option for work if you are someone who has to carry a lot of documents on the go. I find this piece very organized and with its rich variety of sizes and shapes it can be a great holder of all your important documents and essentials. With a strap which goes over your shoulders and across your body, it saves a lot of effort of constantly holding on to it, as it will just cling to your body and be there until you want it to. For those of us who have to carry a Laptop with them can pick a Laptop Bag. These were, until a few years, plain black and boring corporate types. But these days we have nylon, leather, and fur made ones in purple, pink and red colors with metal hardware which makes them look girly and professional all at the same time.
A Tote or a Shoppers’ bag can be used while going shopping. These zipper bags can prove to be a boon while meandering on the streets where every second shop seems to offer a piece which one always wanted. These come in fabrics like heavy canvas, jute and nylons, however recommended are the ones with traditional fabrics like jute or recycled which are inexpensive yet smart. Synthetics may ruin very soon.
The Duffel bags can prove to be a great deal comfortable when it comes to a handbag that can be carried for Work outs and Sports clubs. These are thick clothed, large handled bags with a huge opening on the top which can accommodate a whole lot of stuff. A pair of shoes, a bottle, a small towel, a sanitizer, – you name it and you can have it. With all this in one bag, you may want to believe it’d look like a muddled thing, however you look at your duffel and it will still look as organized as you wanted it to be.
When you party, you want only minuscule and the most important stuff on you. A Clutch can be the best match for such an occasion. There are traditional ones, embellished ones, classy ones, long ones, to choose from. However if you aren’t the one who will clutch it constantly, a Wristlet will give you the same chic look and still will just dangle by your wrist, so that you don’t have to be anxious about losing it.
A woman finds herself imperfect without a good handbag and so this might prove of some use in making a selection that will last a long while. A handbag can be an intelligent choice as a gift, hence men would also want to find out which ones would be the best suited for their respective ladies.
