Handbag: From a Simple Leather Contraption to Designer Creations

By Jessica Page


Today, every woman must own at least a few handbags, and in fact this accessory is an important (if not the most important) part of her wardrobe and it is also at least as important as owning exotic shoes and fancy apparel. Originally, this accessory seems to have originated in Egypt.

There are many references to these ladies' accessories and which were also depicted in early Egyptian hieroglyphs. It is also not wrong to presume that the earliest handbags were simply made out of small pieces of animal skins into which the primeval humans of the time placed their stuff and then tied the corners with perhaps a leather thong or something equally inventive.

Paucity of Material

It is undeniable that the basic needs of man are definitely insufficient knowing that technology was not there yet to help them. That is also the reason why the first handbags do not have good performances as well. But when changes started to occur after every generation, man gained more knowledge as well since one of them was able to come up with a handbag that is exceptional during that time. After that kind of accomplishment, evolution began and fashion was oriented to the early people.

Way back how many centuries ago, there was definitely a scarcity on so many materials that making handbags was very limited. Furthermore, it is blatant that handbags during that time can only be acquired by wealthy individuals.

Women got lucky during the eighteenth century as clothes became finer and more beautiful. Flowing with the clothes is the enhancement of the undergarments as well. But the evolution of clothes gave no rooms for pouches to be hidden, thus, the need to have a separate type of bag has been observed. During that time, different designs of handbags have been implemented as a symbol of its modernization.

The evolution of modern handbags continued and progressed even further that they soon became one of the widespread things that a person must have. However, women respect them more because aside from storing their things, they usually consider handbags as a fashionable statement that they ascertain that the one they are carrying is compatible to their clothing. The development of handbags became one of the most unforgettable events in the world of fashion.

As the mid 19th century began, handbag designers started to exist. The changes between the primitive generations and today's are so conspicuous since handbags during those days were utilized plainly to help a person carry some things.
