How to Correctly Measure Your Purse?
Utilities can vary from Monday to Sunday. On Monday, you might be needing your “carry-all” tote and to save yourself from the mid-week blues, you may need to carry a sling to the nearby coffee café. On happy and peppy Fridays, you might just want to take your book, a water bottle, some snacks, and go for a solo long drive date. Sundays can be a bit relaxing - take your wallet and go for a lazy walk with your friend or partner.
To understand what is the correct size you need, you should have a fairly good idea of how to measure a purse. You can follow the handbag size chart given on the website that you want to buy your next bag from or you can scroll further down to have a look at the handbag measurement guide given below each product. But to understand the website listings, dimensions of a handbag, and purse measurement guide - you need to scroll more.
Understanding How To Measure A Purse
A purse has three dimensions - Length (L), Breadth (B), and Height (H). If you want an example of how the measurements are listed, here it is 10"L x 7"H x 4"W.
Take a small tape measure for purse and hold it straight along the front base of the handbag, preferably from left to right. This will give you the length of the handbag.
To measure the height of the handbag, you need to take the measuring tape and right from the base to the top of the handbag, hold the tape straight somewhere in the middle portion of the handbag or tote bag or your shoulder bag. Remember to exclude the handles or straps of your bag.
Take the same measuring tape and travel from the back of the handbag to the front (side to side) and note it down. This is the breadth of the handbag.
To understand the depth of the bag, you will measure in the same way as breadth but from the front of the handbag to the back (side to side).
There is another term that you might find useful - Strap Drop Length.
Some women might want to carry the handbag on their shoulders, and some women may want to have the bag slung on their shoulders, like a sling. Basically, it is to understand how low or high you can carry your handbag or shoulder bag. Hold the straps straight standing and measure the distance from the opening of the bag to the strap's highest point. So, if someone asks you - how to measure strap drop on purse, you already have the answer right?
