Whatever your reason is for buying a bag, its beauty combined with its functionality makes it a must-have accessory for any woman. If you’re looking for some ideas, here is more information about eight different types of bags for women:
Type #1: Tote Bags
A tote bag is rectangular-shaped bag made of strong materials like canvas or leather, making it such a versatile bag. You can use it for grocery shopping, to carry stuff to work or school and back, or even to carry a few overnight items. A tote bag is a must-have in any woman’s bag collection since it’s roomy enough to hold your purchases without being too large.
Another great thing about tote bags is that you can have them customized to fit your style. For example, you can have a picture of your dog printed on it, your favourite abstract design, or anything else your heart desires. For those who have a business, branded tote bags are good opportunities to advertise your business, allowing you to customize the visuals and designs.
Type #2: Micro Mini Bags
The micro mini purse is your go-to bag for a night out with friends or coworkers. These types of bags just the right size to hold some makeup, ID, and your phone. You know, the essentials!
Type #3: Messenger (or Crossbody) Bags
Messenger (or crossbody) bags are a bit smaller than your classic handbag. They come with a flap on the front that sometimes holds an additional pocket. These types of bags get the “crossbody” name from its long strap which allows women to wear the bag across their bodies. This makes it a lot easier to carry around without needing to hold onto the handles all the time.
This bag is great for going to work, hanging out with friends, visiting restaurants, and so much more. These types of bags are great for women, because they are very roomy. Their multiple pockets make it easy to organize so you can find things right when you need them.
Type #4: Bucket Bags
Bucket bags are usually medium-sized, have a flat bottom, with a drawstring to help close it, and long handles. They come in a wide range of colours, patterns, and designs.
This bag can also be worn across your body, so you don’t have to worry about holding it by its straps. Bucket bags are casual in appearance and often tend to be a fashion statement in themselves.
Type #5: Classic Handbags

Type #6: Hobo Bags
Hobo bags are usually on the larger side and are made of a softer material, giving it that trademark slouchy shape. This means that there’s usually a crescent shape under the handle, thanks to the soft material slumping down once items are placed in it.
The shape of this bag gives it a casual look, making it perfect for running casual errands, visiting friends, going to the library, or your favourite coffee shop.
Type #7: Backpack Bags
The thought of a backpack may throw you back to your school days, but in recent years, they have come back in popularity to wear as an everyday bag. There are large ones, medium-sized ones, and even smaller ones where you can just carry around a few must-have items.
