If you have missed out on the first part of the article you can find it here: Types of handbags fashionable today (Part I)
- Sling Bag: A bag with a long strap (similar to a messenger bag), yet smaller.
- Bowling Bag: A bag originally made to hold a bowling ball, this has become a fashion item.
- Baguette Bag: A purse that is relatively long from side to side and small from top to bottom – basically a little like a baguette with a handle.
- Hobo Bag: The classic definition of the hobo bag is a large crescent-shaped shoulder bag. Lately though, the term "hobo" has been used to describe any large bag which hangs from your shoulder and has a main compartment closure (unlike the "tote" which is normally open top).
- Weekend Bag: A bag of a size to carry clothing and personal articles for a weekend trip.
