The Reasons to Own a Handbag
Handbags have been around for centuries and at one time only men used them. Back in the day men
would use what was known as a change purse. These purses could be worn and held the coins that were
needed to purchase goods. At this point in time women did not use the coin purses.
During the Industrial Revolution more women began to use change purses. Traveling was becoming
more popular during this time and larger bags were needed. The bags that were going to be used for
traveling were made considerably bigger than the coin purses and this is how luggage came about.
During the 17th century young women had to learn how to embroider in order to be ready for marriage.
Young women would practice their embroidery skills on the change purses and some were stunningly
beautiful. Handbags were used as gift receptacles.
The 19th century heralded the use of technology and handbags began to take on different shapes and
different materials could be used. The women would embroider the purses and bags so that they could
show them to those of the opposite sex who would be good marriage material.
It was the early 1900’s that the purses and handbags of today were in early development. Handbags
were used for shopping bags and were made from leather. Men began to use bags that are known as
briefcases.
During this time women wore what was known as Dorothy bags. These bags were made to match the
beautiful dresses of the day. It was normal to see opera glasses and ornate fans affixed to the Dorothy
Bags.
In the 920’s women began to use pochettes which are known as clutches now. Clutches were carried
under the arm. It was during this era that bags did not have to coordinate perfectly with the outfit that
the women were wearing.
Metal, leather and zippers were in high demand during this time so those who made the bags would use
plastic and wood. Synthetic fabrics were also being used in the place of leather during this time. It was
also during this time that the early drawstring pouches became popular again.
As more women began to join the workforce handbags that were worn over the shoulder became the
norm. These bags were more of a convenience tool rather than a fashion statement.
During the 1970’s the over the shoulder large handbags became vogue because of the youth traveling to
India and beyond. Women of this time loved the bags with the buckles and zippers because it
represented strength. There were also beautiful handbags with motifs of flowers being trendy at the
time.
Fast forward to this day and age and handbags are seen and sold pretty much everywhere. Handbags
have also become both a fashion statement and status symbols. Designer handbags such as the Gucci
Handbag can be very expensive. Because the Gucci Bags can be so expensive many women want to own
one to fit in with the richer population.
Designer bags like Gucci Handbags can be bought for a fraction of the cost if the person looking to
purchase one does their research. Yes, it may be easier to walk into one of the local stores and purchase
a designer bag. The problem is you will probably spend more than you should just to own a designer
bag.
To locate designer bags that are less expensive it is wise to begin searching the internet. With the
advent of shopping online the customer has better means to be able to find affordable designer bags.
Looking like you have a lot of money because you are wearing a Gucci Handbag is something that many
