Types of HANDBAG
About the Handbags Since the earliest stages of civilization, bags and purses were practically everyday articles, used by men as well as women. They were necessary for carrying money and other personal items, since clothes hadn’t yet been fitted out with pockets. The introduction of pockets towards the end of the 16th century meant that the men’s bags slowly disappeared in the course of the 17th century. From then onwards, bags belonged almost exclusively to the women’s Domain!
