Bags are not just a thing to stuff your belongings, carrying the right bag adds to your personality.  If you don’t believe me ask the celebrities.

 

Here are some of the bags that you can carry with pride to make the right impact on the right people.

Clutch Bag: A rectangular shaped hand purse, carried more for style reasons than utility.  It is apt to be taken for parties, weddings etc.

 

 

Drawstring Bag: This bag comes in various sizes, the small embroidered ones goes very well with Indian outfits.  In India it’s also called Batwaa, I remember my granny had it.

Baguette Bag: This bag is again rectangular in shape but has attractive curves.

Bowling Bag: Inspired by bags used to carry sporting equipments, Bowling bag comes with a padded exterior and top zip; high on utility.

 

Bucket Bag: A very stylish looking bag, Bucket bags are called so because its bucket shaped.

 

Doctor’s Bag:  This bag’s design is inspired by Doctor’s bag and hence is spacious and things kept inside it, can be found easily.

 

Evening Bag: As the name suggests, this bag is to be used in evenings at parties. 

 

Flap Bag: This bag carries a flap over the opening area.

 

Cross-body Bag:  Cross-body bag is hung across the body, ideal for office, gym use.

 

Wristlet Bag:  Hang this rectangular purse type bag on your wrist, when your hands are full with something or even if you like your hands to be free.

 

These are some of the best bags people are using all over, but there are definitely more to the list, like Signature bag, Tote bag, Hobo bag, Sling bag etc.

 

And if you like to go out hanging one of those Designer labels but find it too expensive to buy, try renting a bag.  Earlier this service was in western countries but now even in India you can rent Designer bags. Designer labels in all colors, shapes and sizes are yours to keep, for a day and with Bagsutra.com if I am not wrong, it’s for a week.  The membership charges are around Rs. 10,000 and the rental charges varies, it can be anywhere between Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 2,000.

 

Personally, I thought it’s a bit overcharged but when you take into account the home delivery service, it is quite justified; after all we are talking about Designer Bags here. Be careful with the bag though, you may have to shell out heavy fine if the bag is damaged.

 

Taking bags on rent has more than just one advantage of saving money, you save space and time taking care of it.  If you don’t like to repeat bags often, this service is for you.  Let people keep guessing, how many Designer bags you have, while you enjoy all the attention.

 

Another option to avoid spending too much on bags is to have neutral color bags.  Along with a black and white get a multicolor bag which would go with most outfits.
