Where Do Handbags Come From?
Most women use a handbag every day of their lives, but where did they originate?
Handbags - The Beginning
Although nowadays handbags are frequently a fashion statement and chosen for style, in the beginning they were only designed for convenience. Early handbags were basically a pouch. A small round piece of fabric had a leather strap sewn round the circumference. When the drawstring was pulled tight, a pouch was formed.
It's interesting to realize that these early predecessors of the handbag were almost solely carried by men. They used them to carry small valuables and coins, and these items were kept safe by tying the bag to the man's belt. Generally they were tied near the sword, so that he could protect his valuables easily.
The Development of the Handbag
By around the 16th century, bags had grown in size. By now they were generally big bags worn diagonally across the body. They were popular with both men and women, and particularly with travelers who wanted to keep their valuables protected.
As the 17th century continued, the bags evolved from simple items of plain materials to something a little more fashionable. A bigger variety of materials were used, and they became a little smaller again. Various, more complex shapes were popular. It also became popular to embroider the bags, decorating them with intricately woven pieces of art.
In the 18th century women stopped carrying a bag around the body, and instead began carrying them in their hand or looped over their wrist. They became known as reticules, and the era of a bag as a fashion statement had started. Reticules were carried because of the fashionable appearance they gave the owner, rather than just because they were handy. Women with money would have a reticule to match every outfit, or at least a range of designs, each one for a specific destination. Fashion magazines began detailing the type of handbag that was "right for a specific event or location. Although they were often small, reticules were still used to carry a fan, rouge, face powder, scent bottle and smelling salts.
Nowadays
By the 1900's the term "handbag" had been established, although in the beginning it referred usually to the traveling bags favored by men. As time passed, though, the term expanded to include larger bags that became popular with women. Fashions changed throughout the century, from the fashion item of the 1920's, through the war years when the materials for bags were hard to acquire and other materials were utilized, and on to the later years of the century when fashion designers started becoming interested in handbags and included them in their collections.
