If you want to look perfect, always have high-quality and expensive bags, shoes, gloves in your wardrobe.

History of bags
Bags have been known since ancient times. While in Amsterdam, you can look into the Museum of Bags, where they will tell you in detail about their centuries-old history. The bags that exist today differ in size, shape, material from which they are made, and purpose. So all women's bags are divided into winter and summer. Summer bags are made of lighter materials, their colors are lighter and brighter, just like summer itself. Winter bags are often made of leather to keep the contents from getting wet from rain or snow.

According to the size of the bags, they are divided into large and small. Large bags are suitable for everyday wear, because they are comfortable and spacious. Small handbags are an evening option.

When choosing the shape of the bag, you should pay attention to your height and weight, so square and rectangular bags are suitable for more complete girls, and large bags with no less voluminous, but always interesting handles and patterns can become a real decoration for them. But it is better not to carry small handbags for full girls. For girls tall and slender, bags of a more round shape are suitable. It is worth remembering that bags with a short strap visually enlarge the chest.

Any bag you choose should overlap in color with the color of the shoes and match any of the clothes.

All bags are also divided into types. Here is some of them:

Hobo is a fairly large and soft bag. A distinctive feature - any of the bags of this type will be made in the shape of a crescent. Hobo bags are very popular with creative people. Often the stars of Hollywood go out with such handbags.

Clutch (Clutch) - small handbag (resembles a huge wallet), usually intended for evening outings.

Cigar Box - small and solid bag, resembles a box in shape. One of the trendiest bags this 2012.

Pouch ("pouch", "pouch") - a small and soft bag, designed for evening outings. In the Middle Ages, the role of a handbag was usually played by a small knitted bag, and this type of bags originated from it. In the 17th century, such bags were decorated, for example, embroidered with beads. Modern Pouch bags are also made of fabric - most often suede and velvet are used for them.

Baguette - oblong rounded bag, with one handle or completely without them.

Tote (from the English "carry") - a large and convenient bag with an open top and handles. Such a bag is very convenient to use and became especially popular in the 90s of the twentieth century. And its prototype can be found in the bags with which they went shopping in the 17th century.

Kelly bag - this bag got its name in honor of the Princess of Monaco Grace Kelly; such a bag is very roomy and has deliberately bright fasteners.

Messenger ("postman" bag) - soft and roomy, with a long strap, worn over the shoulder.

Satchel - "satchel". These bags appeared in the middle of the 17th century before the invention of the satchels we are used to today and were originally used to carry books. A feature of these bags is the presence of a flat and hard bottom.

Jelly kelly - beach bag in bright colors, large and rubber.

And finally, when choosing a bag, first of all, pay attention to its convenience, because you will wear it almost every day. Then, by size: the bag should be roomy, but at the same time, both not very small, and not too large, your bag certainly should not resemble a trunk. And when choosing a color for a daily bag, it is better to give preference to neutral tones, because they will suit any clothes.
