Handbags have sentimental value attached to them and women have an emotional bonding with them, both in terms of purchase as well as end usage.
However, did you know that the type of bag you carry sends cues about the personality type you are?
Ride along with me as I take you through the different types of handbags and what they say about your personality
Totes
Totes are for those who are meticulous and detailed in planning, preferring to carry a number of items along with them and are always ready to face any situation.
They are people who are frequently out of home for work or for leisure and have a lot on hand to be done.
They may also be impulsive who visit malls for a shopping spree and pick up new items along the way, for which the space in their bag needs to come handy to them.
Satchel
Satchel carriers like to show off their arm candy and are conscious of their bag being a status symbol, which reflects their jet set lifestyle.
They like to carry few quintessential but important items and are not wasteful by nature.
They are also a practical lot who like to have bags of medium sizes, just enough for their needs and not ones too big like totes or too small like slings.
Shoulder Bags
Shoulder bag are for those who believe in going conventional.
They are a classic option which never go out of style.
They are one of the oldest types of bags which all women like to have since they first start carrying bags. In that sense they are extremely popular and every woman has at least one shoulder bag in her closet.
They are high on functionality and one which are suitable for all occassions – work, party or outings.
In that sense they are for women who believe in using items which are multifunctional and can play a varied role.
Hobos
Hobos on the other hand are unconventional and not something which would fit the liking of all.
They have a slouchy look and feel and thereby for those women who like to showcase a relaxed vibe.
Also, for women who like variety and consider regular styles to be limiting.
Hobos are a quirky and innovative option and thereby for women who have a love for novelty and all things different and unique.
Bucket Bags
Bucket bag owners are playful by nature and like their bag to depict their fun side.
They are free minded who like to go with the flow of things.
They enjoy carrying bags of a quirky shape and are experimentative and innovative by nature.
Clutch
Clutch takers are believers in carrying statement pieces and use their bag as a means of doing that.
They believe in dressing it up and bringing out their feminine side with pride.
They are party goers and like being surrounded by people and buzz at multiple occassions.
Backpacks
Backpacks are for the active lifestyle followers.
They are the ones who have an adventurous streak to themselves and are task-oriented and always ready to get things done.
They like to be handsfree when they are pursuing the job they want to accomplish.
Sling Bag
Sling Bag owners have an air of casualness to themselves. They constantly seek excitement through people, places and things.

Envelope bags
The anatomy of envelope bags being small, they are not suitable for all occasions like work wear or a shopping day out.
Especially not suited for those women who like to carry their world with them.
They can accommodate limited number of small items, hence have very specific usage.
In that sense you can say they are for women who believe in the concept of minimalism and would want to take out only key essentials with them when they step out.
Nonetheless, they look stylish and should be a part of your collection for a planned quick, casual and fun outing.
On the spectrum of space and style, hobo bags would be skewed towards wearing them to adding the necessary style quotient to your look and not really for those who have major space needs.
Wristlit
Wristlit is a relatively newer option which has been added to the repertoire of bags.
It is clearly for those women who believe less is more and are not fond of carrying bigger bags.
They are essentially a wallet with a strap that you can hold in your thumb.
They are useful when you want to step out with just your keys, money and maybe mobile phone.
It’s what my mother carries when she wants to go the local market for buying groceries and vegetables.
Wristlits are for women who want to carry only the bare minimum and carry bags primarily for functionality and are willing to trade the style aspect.
