Handbags are a really interesting piece of fashion. If you go back in history they were really focused on functionality which means it was most important for them to have the pockets to hold you “things” and the right straps to make it comfortable to use. Then as time and fashion moved forward they became and important accessory, especially for formal events. At this point it really was more important that it looked good then for it to be big enough to hold your “things”. These days it’s seems like we’ve hit a point where most commonly there is a balance between fashion and function. Some bags have become so popular these days that I’m not sure it’s really fair to call them an accessory anymore!
The best part about today’s most popular bags is that they are very stylish and very large at the same time. All types of handbags are great but next time you are checking out at the grocery store take a look at the bags the starlets are carrying. They are enormous, and awesome! I can’t imagine there is anything that you would have to leave at home with a bag like that.
The other thing worth noting about the bags that you see on the magazine covers is what else the starlets are wearing. Sure sometimes they are at a formal even and are all dressed up beautifully. Often though they have been photographed during a normal day. They are just on their way to grab a bite to eat for lunch, or going to the grocery store for Lean Cuisines. They are wearing jeans and a tee shirt. They are beautiful so they look great, but the point is even when they are dressed casual and running mundane errands, they are still carrying a $600 handbag.
Bags and purses have come a long way over the years. It’s a whole new world for handbags, and I love it!
