Find handbags large enough to carry papers, gym clothes, groceries, and more.

• Tote bags: A tote bag has an open top and short to medium length straps or handles. Use it to carry a variety of items from documents to gym gear.

• Backpacks: Mini or travel size backpacks come in standard handbag sizes and are a good option for times when you want to leave your hands free. They tend to look like a miniature school backpack or like a purse that fits on your back.    

• Briefcases: Keep your business documents crisp, clean, and organised with a new briefcase.  

• Duffel bags: Tall or wide duffel bags have a wide opening at the top and fit over your shoulder. Typically made of canvas, nylon, or leather, their cylindrical shape makes them perfect for carrying gym clothes and personal belongings when travelling.   

• Messenger bags: Sling a soft messenger bag across your back. They offer a comfortable fit, a large amount of storage space, and stay in place while riding around on your bicycle.      

• Nappy bags: A nappy bag is an essential for new parents to carry nappies, changing pads, extra baby clothes, and baby bottles out of the house. Nappy bags made of vinyl and nylon are easy to wipe down and clean while canvas nappy bags are often treated with a chemical by handbag manufacturers to make them water and stain resistant. Leather nappy bags usually come with a washable liner or vinyl liner that you can easily wipe down.

Pack up your mobile phone, accessories, makeup, and anything else you need when you leave the house.

• Hobo bags: Swing a hobo bag over your shoulder. They have a crescent shape and range from small to mid-sized to carry all your essentials.  

• Satchels: Large satchels close at the top, have a top carrying handle, and a triangular side profile.   

• Shoulder bags: Shoulder bags have a single strap or double set of straps that make it easy to carry the purse over your shoulder.   

• Demi handbags: Small demi handbags have a short carrying handle at the top. You can carry it in your hand or over your shoulder.    

• Drawstring handbags: Drawstring handbags have a thin strip of fabric, leather, cord, or string woven through a series of eyelets at the top of the bag. Pull the strip and the top of the bag gathers together to close.  

• Shopper bags: Shopper bags are similar to satchels and are usually roomy top handle handbags with a zip or button closure, the type of bag you would take to go shopping.    

• Doctor’s bags: Doctor’s bags are so named due to their resemblance to doctor’s bags of old days. Featuring a long shape with slightly rounded edges, the doctor’s bag was made popular again by Prada when it introduced its nylon and leather version a few years back. Use it as a purse or as an overnight bag.

Traditional handbags and purses come in various materials, including leather, canvas, straw, nylon, and plastic. If you are after something more textured, look out for embossed leather. You can also find calfskin leather handbags, made from the smooth hides of young cattle.

• Baguettes: Baguette handbags have a long and rounded body resembling baguette of bread.    

• Evening bags: Small evening bags in fabrics such as velvet and silk have a rich lustre and a more formal look. For something more unique, you may also like to consider a vintage bag or beaded bag.

Make a statement and add polish to your look with a standout signature bag.

• Hermes Kelly: First designed by Hermes in the 1930s, the Hermes Kelly represents the ultimate in luxury, elegance and sophistication. In 1956, Grace Kelly appeared on the cover of Life magazines holding it to cover her pregnancy thereafter making it a sensation. Until today, the original crocodile version which Kelly used remains one of the most covetable and memorable bags of the 20th century.

• Hermes Birkin: Designed for British actress Jane Birkin back in the 1980s, the roomy Birkin has been at the top of every fashionista's wish list ever since it appeared as the must-have status bag for Kim Catrall's character on an episode of "Sex and the City". Currently one of the most wanted bags around the world, it is well known for having a waiting list of up to two years.

• Louis Vuitton Speedy 30: For more than 75 years, this original brown carryall with the classic gold monogram print has remained a cult classic. In 2003, the bag was given a fresh new look after Louis Vuitton partnered up with Japanese artist Takashi Murakami to update the traditional style in fun, surprising colours. The trendy, hip Murakami bags include cherry blossoms and adorable cartoon characters, and are extremely popular among stars such as Paris Hilton, Madonna and Jennifer Lopez.

• Gucci Horsebit Hobo: Combining both style and functionality, the hobo's slouchy, relaxed shape and bold metal hardware has made it an all time favourite for everyday wear. Recently made popular again by Jessica Simpson, you can now find the large size version of this bag in a variety of posh fabrics and rich colours to match every mood, from monogram canvas to ultra soft lambskin to decadent ostrich.

• Balenciaga Le Dix Motorcycle: One of the latest "it" bags to hit the celebrity scene, this hard to find bag has been seen on the likes of Sienna Miller, Nicky Hilton, Kate Moss, the Olsen twins, and is the inspiration for the new tassled handbag trend. Defining details such as distressed leather, tassled zippers, double rolled handles and a few well placed buckles give it just the right amount of streetwise flair.
