Uncovering The Roots Of Designer Handbags: Rough Rope And Amphibians

By Kristyn Porter Lambrecht


Although you wouldn't think that designer handbags were once made of burlap and tough rope, this is how the original designer handbag was crafted. Today, any designer handbag wouldn't be made from these rough and 'uncivilized' materials; today, the fashionable handbag is made from upscale materials like animal skin, silk, and many other mediums. The last two centuries has ushered in a realm of pretty, oversized and clutch-sized handbags.

During Biblical times, the "designer handbag" began to surface in the form of burlap or similar rough material; this sack was used for carrying primarily money. The designer handbags of Biblical times were tied with rough rope around the waist. Fortunately, the handbag was revolutionized throughout the centuries following. By the time it reached the 21st century, the handbag had evolved into many forms, among them the tote bag and the small, chic clutch.

One of the trendiest styles of designer handbags is the tote bag. The tote bag, or otherwise known as the oversized bag, can carry everything from the beach towel to the modern PDA. The designer handbag also has another popular form, known as the clutch purse. This handbag, although small, is a great accessory for any hot cocktail party or swanky girl's night out. Usually, a small clutch purse has a snap close and open, and comes in a array of different colors.

Designer handbags have been made famous by celebrities, as well as everyday women. One of the biggest appeals of the designer handbag is the chic-ness and functionality. Today, the handbag can range from large to small, and can come in an array of different designs. Throughout the last few centuries, the handbag has seen shapes of an armadillo, a frog, shoes, and various other things. Thankfully, none of these stayed in style for too long; today, the handbag has stayed a handbag.

The designer handbag is a staple signifier of femininity, fashion and forward-thinking style. Designer handbags are a must have for any runway show, and have become an integral part of any woman's wardrobe. From small to large to extra large, the handbag is something that will only continue to evolve in the future. So watch out - keeping in mind where the handbag has been in the past, we can only guess where it will continue to go in the future.
