Handbags: The Best Outdoor Companion of a Woman

Women’s clothing is notorious for not having enough pockets or no pockets at all. Though changes are happening in that area yet there is a long way to go before there are enough pockets to fit everything a woman needs in the outdoors. Then again, women (quite a few of them at least) need a lot of things when they are outside; water bottles, earphones, perfume, makeup, extra clothing, sanitary napkins, sunglasses and many more. It is not possible to fit them in pockets. So what is the solution? Handbags of course.

A handbag is both an object of utility and aesthetics that both does the job and contributes to your style quotient. It is adequately sized which allows you to carry many items but is not bulky and uncomfortable. Handbags are also attractive accessories and come in many shapes and designs to suit various fashion statements. All of this screams that you need to get a hand on a handbag as soon as possible if you already don’t have one. BP Guide helps you in that respect by compiling a list of handbags from top brands.

What Should You Look for in a Handbag

Space

Space is of prime importance. Afterall, the main purpose of a handbag is to enable you to carry necessities while travelling. You need adequate space for your belongings otherwise the very purpose of a handbag is defeated. How much space is necessary is based entirely upon your usage and preference.

If you intend to use the handbag for college or work, it must have enough space to accommodate notebooks and a regular-sized laptop. If you want to use it for shopping, a small one with space enough to accommodate your purse or wallet should suffice. There is also a matter of preference. If you prefer large, spacious bags irrespective of the type of usage, get them by all means. It is the same if you prefer smaller-sized bags.

Material

Material of the bag will determine its durability and flexibility. There are some materials that are so tough that they last a lifetime. Bags made from these materials are usually expensive but they are worth every penny. Moreover, such bags are economical in the long run as they save you from buying a handbag once every two years, because of their durability. Some materials are waterproof and they are ideal for handbags meant for everyday and all-weather usage. Then there is also the matter of conscience. That fact that an animal was skinned to make this leather bag might not sit well with you. So, a bag made with cruelty-free material is best suited for you.

Shape and Design

The shape and design of the bag has more to do with aesthetics than utility. These two features contribute to the appearance of the bag which further determines the style of it. A particular style of bag goes with a particular attire which elevates your overall style quotient.

Number of Compartments

The hollow cavity of a handbag could be one large compartment or segregated into multiple compartments with the help of dividers and pockets. Which bag would suit you depends on your needs and preferences. Bags with multiple compartments let you organize your objects and are best suited for those who have a variety of objects to carry about. Then again, some people prefer to dump things into a bag and retrieve it after a few seconds of rummaging. It is easier to find objects for them when they are cluttered. A one compartment bag would be the best for such people.
