No! You are not allowed to use just any handbag for any kind of occasion. There is etiquette when it comes to the use of bags.
When people go for bag shopping they are often confused on what to buy. Some people even go all out to get just any type, probably because they do not know the use.
I understand the pain when it comes to picking a bag; there are so many choices, with diverse prices and in every fabrication and colour known to womankind, it’s almost overwhelming to understand what is and isn’t worth our money.
Fret no more, you are on the right page. In this article, I shall put you through on the various types of bags and their uses.
Here’s a guide to the only eight types of handbags you’ll ever need.
Thank me now, I just made your fashion life better.
1. Clutch

2. The Weekender
