Although the word handbag has only been in our language for a century or so, the bags themselves have been around in some form for over 400 years. In Europe coin purses made from soft leather were often larger than a simple pouch. These were not carried by hand or on the arm, but usually across the body on a chain or a belt.
An existing example of this is the Scottish Sporran which is worn around the waist... however, if you were to wear it hanging from your shoulder you would see that it is incredibly similar to a modern handbag.
In the very early days of larger leather or fabric pouches being used, it was predominantly men that wore the bags. They were the ones handling money and traveling alone in cities or across countries. As time went on ladies (especially upper-class women) were encouraged to learn the art of embroidery.
In the Western world, this development led to small or medium-sized bags being decorated. As women slowly gained more independence and freedom, they frequently chose to carry a handbag to store their personal items, and also as a fashion statement.
Handbags have been used in Hollywood movies to conceal murder weapons, hide spy cameras, hit villains, and adorn glamorous outfits... but we believe the appeal of the handbag is its simplicity. Its ability to blend in on a casual day, or stand out when you want to make a statement.
