Types of Bags and Purses Every Woman Should Own
Whether you're running to the store or you'll be on the go all day, there are essential bags that you should have so that all your necessary items are with you at all times. The first is the crossbody bag, which is great for short trips to the store. You can throw your wallet, phone, and lipstick or lip balm in one of these bags and then be able to carry grocery or shopping bags in both hands. Crossbody bags hug your body and stay out of the way of your hands and arms while carrying things.
The day clutch is a bag that will fit only your most essential items. It'll probably fit your phone, some cash and maybe a small make-up item. This type of bag is great for going out for brunch with your girl friends. You could pick out a clutch with some sequins or decoration for a night out on the town, but the day clutch is more casual.
The weekender bag can be used as a beach bag, a grocery bag, a gym bag, and even a carry-on bag. It's big enough to fit some clothes in, a small bag of make up or toiletries, a small towel or whatever you need for a day trip or overnight stay.
Then, there's your tote bag like the Twenty Minute Tote, for which you can find the sewing tutorial above. These bags range in size because you can fit a laptop or tablet in a large one or basic sewing tools in a medium size tote bag. The tote bag is one of the easiest to sew yourself and will hold up against the test of time and frequent use.
Bags and purses come in all shapes and sizes and have different purposes.
