Handbag Style Type

The beauty of the handbag is that you don't have to just have one. There is something for everyone with so many different styles and types. Match them with your shoes, your outfit, the event you're attending, coordinate them with your belts and jewelry... the combinations are endless. So what style are you going with today?

Clutch: A bag that doesn't have a traditional strap or handle and is held in the arm or clutched under the arm; typically worn in the evening, though lately it has been making appearances on the arms of chic starlets during the day hours.

Evening Bag: A dazzling bag to accent your evening ensemble. May be constructed from leather, suede, python, satin. The rule in this category is that there are no rules. Be an individual.

Exotic: A leather bag with an exotic twist. The skins are usually rare, wild and bring out your inner lioness.
