The question on which of these types of handbags -knit, straw or canvas- seems so difficult when you just look at them at the handbags stores. They all look lovely and you want to take them all home. However, your budget for this is limited, so we are going to weigh their pros and cons, and decide later.
First of all, let's talk about knit handbags. If you are a quite gentle girl, you would want one of the knits handbags, which will go perfect with your lovely long dress. For knit handbags, you can make them yourself if you like. Just go to the stores and buy the materials, and you can freely design your own bags as you want or even ones for people you like. They will be for sure lovely presents for them. Knit handbags are used by all groups of ages.
However, middle-aged and old people use them more. It is not that it does not look pretty, but the way people design them, just suit old people more. Therefore, if you want to have a young and modern look, I advise you not to buy this kind of bags. They are beautiful but not for you. However, if someone who is young, but traditional, you should definitely purchase one for yourself.
The knit handbag is also not for heavy things. If you are going on a vacation, or things like that, a knit handbag would be a bad idea. However, if you are going out with friends, it would be a perfect match. One note about washing your knit bag is that you should never put it in dryer, because your bag will for sure shrink after that. So, make sure you keep all these things in mind when you decide to buy a knit handbag.
Now, it is time for straw handbag. Straw handbags would match perfectly with someone who wants a casual look in the summer. Most of people when they thing of straw handbags think of summer time. Straw handbags have many holes, that is why you should not use them in winter. Winter has just set in, and if you are looking for a handbag, it is not the time for straw handbag. Wait until summer comes and you can use straw handbags.
Another advantage of straw handbags is that they are very affordable because this kind of material is not expensive. Straw handbags have some downside as well. They are fragile and not designed for heavy things. If you want to carry your laptop or your heavy food in the bag, you have to use another bag because if you bring them all with your straw bags, you are going to break it down.
How about canvas bags? More and more people are using canvas for bags today. They look like suede but they are very different. They are more used in casual events; however, you can still dress up your outfit with this kind of material. Once you decide to buy a canvas bag, you have to second it again, because the taking care process is very complicated. You can never wash it in a washing machine. Canvas only accepts hand washing, if you do not want to throw it away after the first wash.
