Stylish Satchel Bags

Shoulder bags were traditionally used to carry books, but now these bags are used to define the fashion statement.  You need to carry this bag diagonally across your body and therefore it rests on your opposite hip and hangs directly off your shoulder.

Different types of shoulder bags

School bags are handy bags and are suitable for carrying a range of items such as keys, books, smartphones, snacks and much more.  There are different types of satchels such as messenger bags, backpacks, school cart bags, etc. Messenger bags are perfect for carrying items while walking or traveling by bike.  Backpack is another type of shoulder bag that offers added convenience and is preferred by tourists.  School cart bags have telescopic handles, wheels, and adjustable straps to make it easier to carry items.

Which material should you choose?

School bags are made of canvas, nylon or soft leather.  Each type has certain advantages to offer.  For example, the leather bags are flexible, durable and easy to care for.  The canvas type offers enough space for storing personal items and books.  Nylon bags are available in a range of designs, colors, and styles.  Choose one based on your budget, preferences, and needs.

What should you know about the fasteners on these bags?

Material and type aside, you need to check the fasteners that these bags are equipped with.  These are available with a variety of closures such as Velcro, magnetic and press studs as well as zippers.  Everyone has their advantages and disadvantages.  For example, the Velcro is simple, safe and maintenance-free, but it can easily collect dust and hair.  Choose the type according to your requirement.

Keep these factors in mind as you go through the process of buying the most suitable type of shoulder bags to meet your needs.
