The Different Ways She Holds a Handbag

On Her Arms - The Classic way to hold a handbag is on your arm. Just try not to put too much in your bag, for you may possibly bruise your arm. 

On Her Shoulders - Another traditional means of holding purses are on your shoulders. This is good because your hands are free and now you’re able to multi-task and get moving with your fast-paced life. 

On Her Shoulders (pushed back) - This is yet another way to hold a handbag on your shoulders. This method is usually used when you are in motion. The drawback is this position is not good in tight spaces. 

Wrapped Around Her Wrist - This method are for those ladies who are tired of holding their handbags on their shoulders. Instead you wrap the shoulder strap around your wrist and hold onto the remaining portion of the handbag strap.

On Her Wrist – Now you don’t need to wrap your shoulder bag strap on your wrist! With a wristlet, it simply fits onto your wrist with ease. A wristlet is used commonly for a girl’s night out. Girls usually put fill their wristlet with a cell phone, a camera, a few credit cards, an ID card, and some bills. 

In Her Hand - This method is good for smaller handbags. Let’s say you aren’t too tall, holding a large handbag in your hands may cause the bag to drag on the dirty floor. 

Across Her Body - This is known as the “body bag” or “messenger bag” style. Wearing a bag with a long shoulder strap across the body is great for travelling. Not only is it convenient, it prevents purse thieves from easily snatching your belongings. 

On Her Back - This reminds us of those days we were in school. The advantages of using a backpack are that you feel young again, your hands are free, and the weight of your load is evenly distributed across your back allowing you to carry heavier amounts. However, the disadvantages are that you become an easy target for pickpockets. 

Carry In Her Hands – This method is only used when your bag is stuffed and your arms and shoulders are sore. Carrying your handbag in your hands is considered a last resort issue. 

On Her Waist – These bags are also known as pouches, fanny packs, or waist bags. They are extremely convenient and great for casual outings.
