Womens Designer Bags guide you through handbag styles. 
This is the essential guide to help you choose the right handbag to complete your look...

Clutch Bags

A clutch bag is normally used as an evening bag or a party bag.  Clutch bags are designed to be carried under the arm, or in the hand.  They are usually small to medium in size.  Some clutch bags will also come with a longer strap or chain that can be used as a shoulder strap if required.

We have a great range of clutch bags available to you, to suit any outfit and any occassion.

Shoulder Bags

A shoulder bag is a style of handbag that can be worn over the shoulder.  However this type of bag is not a particular shape or size, a shoulder bag can be any style of bag providing it has shoulder straps (it does not matter on the number). 

The Zandra Rhodes 'Quartz' is a colourful and lovely example of a shoulder bag.

 

Satchels

A satchel is usually either a large or a medium size bag, of a square or rectangular shape.  A satchel will also normally have both a longer strap and a grab handle or a shorter strap.  Satchels can also some times have additional pockets on the outside of the bag at the front. 

Hobo Bags

A hobo bag is similar to a tote bag in style.  A hobo bag should have one or two handles / short shoulder straps with the ability to close the top, for example with the use of a zip or catch.  Hobo bags should be medium to large in size and are made of a soft slouchy material.

The Fiorelli 'Ella' makes for a stunning Hobo bag in a beautiful soft black material and feminine pleated detail.

 

Tote Bags

A Tote Bag can also be described as a shopper.  Tote bags are normally medium to large bags with two straps.  They will often have an open top as well as being a slightly square or rectangular shape. 

We have some stunning tote bags available in our Summer and Beach Bag collection.

Cross Body or Messenger Bag

A messenger bag is generally one with a long strap that is designed to be worn across the body.  When the bag is worn this way the main body of the bag should be resting against either the lower back or the hip. 

The Fiorelli Monroe makes a great shoulder bag and cross body.

 

Saddle Bags

A saddle bag is normally medium or large in size and shaped rather like a saddle.  Saddle bags can normally be worn as shoulder bags and often have a large flap style opening.

A great example of a saddle bag is the Juno Soft Slouch Bag

Beach Bags

Beach bags are designed to be used on holiday or at the beach.  They are normally large and spacious bags with one main section.  They are the perfect bag for carrying everything that you need for a day by the sea or the pool.  Beach bags are normally made from straw, plastic or fabric, with long or short handles and are often colourful with bold patterns.
