e know that
women love
handbags, bags
and purses but
just why they love
their handbags so
much is more difficult to fathom.
It can’t be genetic, as hand-
bags have only been around
for about 150 years. The
handbag fashion only re-
ally started in the late nine-
teenth century but it was
not until around 1920
that handbags or bags
became an essential
item of a woman’s
wardrobe.
Louis Vuitton was
the first manufac-
turer of “de-
signer bags”
and since he
started it all
off plenty of
others have
jumped on the
designer bag
bandwagon, no
doubt seeing a good
opportunity to make
a lot of money by
turning what should
be just an ordinary
utilitarian article into a
prized object of fantasies
and dreams. Why is a designer
bag so expensive ? well, why
not ? If people are willing to pay
ever-increasing amounts of money
to carry stuff about in, then why
deprive them of that God-given
right ?
