The Definitive Guide to Every Shape of Leather Bags

While we like to think our closet can accommodate every single bag we lust after, most of the time we have to pick and choose. With so many choices, it can be more overwhelming than fun to pick out which bag will land a prized position on your arm and a space in your wardrobe.

Here is your handy guide to refresh your fashion vocabulary and help you figure out which bag is perfect for your needs.

Tote

The most standard, no-fuss shape out there, the tote bag is an all-star that you’ll end up using everyday, whether it’s bringing your laptop to work or carrying some books to the beach. It’ll be more than just a one-season purchase with its classic shape and in a sturdy leather, it will age nicely with time.

Bucket

Named appropriately after its bucket-like shape, this bag is surprisingly practical. The circular shape makes it possible to fit bulky things like cameras, so it’s ideal for traveling and sightseeing. The adjustable straps make it possible to wear it as a crossbody or on your shoulder, ensuring that your hands are free to capture the Kodak moment.

Satchel

Traditionally used to carry books, the satchel has a flap that covers the opening of the bag and fastens in the front. With so many sophisticated iterations of the classic style, the satchel is far from anything you carried during your school girl days. Remove the crossbody strap and carry it with the hand strap and you’ll have a bag that works perfectly for fancier occasions.

Crossbody

Fortunately, there are some days when you don’t need to carry your entire life in your purse. Keep things streamlined with a crossbody that’s just big enough to carry your wallet, cell phone and lipstick. Who wants to wrestle with a huge bag during a night out or when you’re rocking out at a music festival?

It’ll be worth it to search high and low for a bag that perfectly caters to your lifestyle. Or better yet, put all of these bags on your shopping list for a well-rounded collection.

Be the best kind of bag lady with these leather bags.
