At first, coins and small items were placed in bags (often only made of leather) and fastened to a belt or pockets of clothing. That is why the handbag became a double pocket. In Burgundy, at the court of the king, representatives of the nobility wore a leather bag on a belt. It was an obligatory piece of daily costume.

Coins were supposed to jingle in it and they called him omonière. Later, the bag began to be made from the most diverse materials. Girls embellished them with embroidery, drawing, weaving or knitted patterns. Pouch bags came into fashion. They acquired the name pompadour and reticule.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the inhabitants of the city had velvet or decorative bags sewn with gold. They were filled not only with coins, but also with sewing devices. The model of bags in the Biedermeier and Empire styles has become the prototype of the current ladies' handbags. Later, the style of the Rococo era was also used.

Since the 20th century, a woman's bag has certainly complemented a business outfit. She stopped performing a decorative function and transformed into a serious wardrobe device for any girl. The basis of the current bag was a rigid frame, which allows you to practically place the necessary devices in various compartments. This design model is perfect for both saving cosmetics and carrying important documents.

In the 1980s, colorful plastic bags became extremely popular. But their age was short. A dozen years later, girls began to wear tiny backpacks or small bags on a long chain. Women favored eye-catching shapes, evocative colors and unforgettable designs. Such handbags were made from non-natural materials. In the 2000s, large colorful handbags came into fashion.

They were worn not only by young, but also by women of age. Recently there has been a trend towards smaller bags. Girls often prefer a comfortable and sophisticated purse bag as a daily option. It's all about finances, lipstick, keys. Business women choose a briefcase to keep important documents close at hand.
