Popular Types of Purses
Handbags and shoulder bags are the most popular styles for ease of use and everyday wear. There are so many styles and colors that it’s hard to choose.
If you are like me you change your purse weekly or even monthly.
For some women it is shoes but for me it’s purses.
I do have other favorites like the hobo bag or messenger bag it’s according to what I’m doing or where I’m going.
Messenger bags, wristlets, and mini purse backpacks are the bags I recommend for teenagers. More than likely all they need is a small purse to carry personal items because they already have those disturbingly giant backpacks.
Unless of course they are learning online. Even then, small is better.

Wikipedia says it best
“Why is it called a hobo bag?
Hobo bags are made out of soft, flexible materials and tend to slump, or slouch, when set down. … This style of purse is called a hobo bag because it resembles the shape of the bindle on a stick that hobos are portrayed as carrying over their shoulder in drawings and cartoons.”
9. Messenger Bag
Also known as courier bag is a type of crossbody shoulder bag. Originated in America.
10. Satchel
Very Similar to Messenger bag but originated in England.
Mahi Leather says
“What is the difference between a satchel and a messenger bag?
Satchels have a long shoulder strap which allows the wearer to carry the bag on the shoulder and let it ride on the hip or wear it diagonally across the body. … Messenger bags are usually wider than they are tall.”
