Glamorous Handbags

As a fashion accessory, handbags can be categorized according to the silhouette of the bag, as well as the type of handle. The current popular handbag silhouettes are (as of 2011):
• Clutch - a handbag without handles, rectangular in shape, often an evening bag but used during the day as well
• Hobo - medium-size crescent-shaped bag with a top zipper and often a slouch or dip in the centre; a modern, casual silhouette
• Satchel - a soft-sided case usually of leather, with a top zipper and a wide, flat bottom; has two short handles and often also has a detachable strap
