For decades, men have pondered why women have so many bags in their closets. First things first, women possess unlimited bags because each one serves a different purpose for specific occasions. For example, women tend to wear smaller purses or clutches for special occasions, since it allows them to carry basic essentials like money, cellphones, and lipstick without being too bulky. For running errands or grocery shopping, most women prefer to use a shoulder bag to keep their hands free to focus on other things. Working women opt to carry large totes, handbags or briefcases to enable them to put a lot of important files, documents and things inside of their bags.
Depending on the type and size of a bag, a woman will hold it and carry it accordingly. This may sound odd, but there are several ‘bag holding styles’ — and how you hold your bag can help determine your personality. Find out what your ‘bag holding style’ says about you!
