Designer Bags: A Short Background

As women began to work outside the home and began to gain more independence in the early 1900s, handbags became a fashion accessory and also a useful tool for carrying makeup, money and other essentials. Bags evolved from pouches that were worn around the waist from Ancient Egypt through a series of changes in both design and function to what we see today as designer handbags.

It was during the 1950s that handbags changed from being practical to a status symbol as more designers entered the market.

The popularity of bags with a brand name resulted in the creation of iconic styles that still adorn many wardrobes today.
