The design of a handbag is subjective, but certain elements are essential for all designer handbags. For example, the bag typically has a frame with handles that allows it to be carried by the person holding it. The frame usually consists of one or more straps that are connected at their ends with either metal loops or clips. A strap can also be connected to itself at its ends by means of a metal ring or padlock-like device. In some designer handbags, the straps can also be folded over and connected together by means of an additional clip or ring.
