The 8 Types of Handbags every Woman Should Own

Going to work? Attending a party? Or Simply running errands? No matter where you go or what you do, a handbag always accompanies you like your other essentials such as your watch and phone do. There was a time I hardly used any bag to carry my essentials. All I had was a women’s wallet that fit my phone. As my fashion knowledge improved, I slowly started exploring the different types of handbags and a plethora of brands. It was definitely an eye-opener for me. I have put together 8 types of purses and handbags for women from my learnings. Let’s take a look:

The Daily Duffel:

Well, that’s what I call my everyday bag. Be it shopping, going to a bank, dropping off kids at school, or visiting a doctor, I always carry the daily duffel with me. From my phone, wallet, and keys to a water bottle, sunglasses, and hand sanitizer, all my everyday essentials follow me in this bag anywhere I go. If not for the other 7 bags, the daily duffel has to be in your wardrobe. My go-to bag is the Kate Spade Arch Place Mya Botanical Tote. It has room for my all my essentials plus my kid’s snacks, an extra set of clothes, and more. If you are a minimalist who just carries keys, a phone, and credit cards, then you can choose a simple wristlet or a cross-body bag that will equally serve the purpose.

The Staff Sack:

If you are a working woman, then the staff sack (as I would like to call it) is essential in your wardrobe. Your workplace would essentially provide you with a laptop and a bag to carry it. I know, I know! It doesn’t feel fashion-forward in any way. To stay in trend, you can opt for a good, roomy tote that can accommodate your laptop, work files, and journals along with the everyday essentials. Most women chose the Longchamp Le Pliage Tote or the Louis Vutton Neverfull Tote. If you are on a budget, check out Amazon that has different types of handbags on sale. This tote from Amazon is an absolute best. A tip to keep everything organized in your tote is to use a tote organizing insert. You can find a huge variety on Amazon at reasonable rates.

The Day/Evening Clutch:

Attending a wedding? Obviously, you will be wearing the most beautiful outfit ever. Would it be nice to carry a bulky bag at this time? A big no to totes or satchels! Let them stay in your car. Just carry a tastefully crafted day clutch, which best compliments your outfit. Likewise, if you are going on a date or hitting a party, dump a few makeup essentials like a compact powder, lipstick, and mascara along with your phone, credit cards, and keys into an elegant evening clutch. You can’t miss looking your best during such times, right? You can find great types of handbags at Amazon, the right place to shop for the best affordable bags in 2023.

The Gym Bag:

It is always a good practice to dedicate a bag for all your gym essentials such as towels, changing clothes, water bottles, and shoes. There is a wide selection of gym bags available in the market today, especially the ones with a separate compartment to store your muddy shoes. Most of them come with a small waterproof bag into which you can throw your smelly, sweaty clothes after a workout. Check out this Unisex Gym Bag from Walmart that is under $30.

The Beach/Pool Bag:

The first thing that comes to our minds when we think of summer is Beach vacation. If not for the beach, we would at least head to the community pool with our families to spend a nice evening doing fun water activities. Therefore, a beach bag is one of the essential types of handbags every woman should own. In addition to being practical, beach bags are made with fun elements, including graphics and quotes. Don’t worry! Nobody is going to judge you for choosing a beach bag with wild neons and hilarious quotes. If you hate canvas bags, then a trendy wicker/straw bag would be an ideal solution for you. A modern Kimono with a messy hair bun and Sunglasses paired with this wicker beach bag can be a showstopper. Your Instagram pictures are sure to look like they are out of the Vogue magazine.

The Travel Capsule:

The weekend getaway bag or the travel capsule is one of the types of handbags that is a staple in every household. From clothes and accessories to cosmetics and travel essentials, this bag has room for everything. Avoid those bulky travel cases! opt for colorful and fun bags made from lightweight materials such as canvas and cloth. Check out the Vera Bradley Weekender Travel Bags that are greatly in trend.

The Baby Bag:

I absolutely have no clue why people call it a ‘Diaper Bag’ when it carries all the baby and mommy travel essentials and not just diapers. If you are a mom or a mom-to-be, this bag is a must-have in your wardrobe. Almost every bag comes with a dedicated diaper changing pad, ample pockets to store different baby stuff, and dedicated bottle pockets that are waterproof and insulated to maintain the liquid/food’s temperature. I used the Skip Hop Grand Central Take it All Bag. If money is not a constraint for you, then I suggest the JuJuBe BFF Convertible Unisex Diaper Backpack that can be carried by both mom and dad.

The Multifunctional Backpack:

Every woman’s wardrobe is incomplete without a backpack, one of the key types of handbags in todays world. I consider this bag a multi-functional one as it can go with you to almost all places. If you want to go hiking or hang out with friends or go on a long bike trip, this bag will be your best friend. Choose a lightweight, stylish backpack that promises both form and function. The BG by Baggallini Memphis Convertible Backpack has an easy to clean surface so maintenance won’t be an issue!

Conclusion:

I really hope the recommendations I have given will help you to put together a handbag cluster in your wardrobe without breaking the bank. If you miss out on any of the aforementioned types of handbags, do not worry! You can get them one by one slowly. Please let me know if you have any questions in the comments section below.
