Bags : the different types of bags and how to wear them

Kind of bags

Bags: Large tote bag, small bag pouch, bowling bag, crossbody bag, backpack… every girl is dreaming about having the perfect bag!

Our closet is filled with different kinds of bags but we don’t always know what type of bag is it and how it’s worn?

Here are some useful information on the different types of bags and how to carry them :

 

  • Shopping bag or Tote bag ?

These two are very similar but can be differentiated by how to wear them and their type of closure. Both are large, wide and flexible because they are made to carry your grocery shopping, your files and even sometimes your clothes. Leather bags, canvas or straw, there is a perfect one for every situation.
