How to find the perfect purse for your style
A purse is an essential accessory for any women on the go. She can carry everything from makeup to her cell phone that she needs to keep close at hand. Whether you want to relax or head out for a dinner, whether you want to go out for a coffee or go outdancing, a purse is great to carry along. Modern women have a great variety of options to choose from to find the purse perfectly matching their outfit and mood.
There are some pratical issues you should keep in mind when you want to find the perfect purse among all those different styles and designs. It is not just a simple bag, it is more a statement of fashion sense and personality. Each style has its own advantages and disadvantages.
There are two main categories you can place purse into: those designed for a night in town and those designed for everyday use. They are distinguished by thetypes of materials and construction techniques used.
Leather, nylon, straw or plastic are the materials of choice for everyday purses. They are designed to be either held by their handle or slung over the woman’s shoulder. The latter are represented by shoulder bagas, hobo bags or doctor’s bags. Hobo bags are should bags with a hort semi-circle strap. Shopper bags and satchels represent the bags to be held by the handle. Demi-hanbags are a mix of both with a short strap that could be strung over the should or carried.
On the other hand you have the evening purses which are smaller then everyday purses. A clutch purse for instance is only designed to carry a cell phone and a lipstick when you are out and need to freshen up. It doesn’t even have a handle or a strap. It is designed to be carried in hand or tucked under the arm. Evening handbags are suitable if you need something larger than a clutch. So to say evening handbags are the same as everyday purses but generally smaller in size. They are also made of more luxurious materials like silk or velvet.
If you are looking for a designer purse one of the must-haves is one from Louis Vuitton decorated with the iconic LV monogram. Other popular designer brands are Guccy, Prada, Balenciaga and Chloe. But do not limit yourself to the traditional designers. There are exciting new one out there like Marc Jacobs or Miu Miu that are creating great designer bags.
