A Historical View of Purses and Handbags

A Historical View of Purses and HandbagsThe purse reappeared in Europe in the twelfth century during the Crusades. The pilgrim would wear a purse suspended from his girdle, thus giving him a convenient means of carrying negotiable articles of value. The girdle was a cord or piece of material or <a href="http://www.dtdrivingschool.co.uk/link... ">links of london charm bracelet</a> leather, worn at the <a href="http://www.camfalconara.it/p..."... bologna</a> waist or hips all throughout the Middle Ages. An important piece of the wardrobe for men and women, it was used to attach purses, but also rosaries, pomanders, keys and even daggers.By the fifteenth century, English paintings reveal aristocratic men with their purses handsomely mounted at their waists, some sporting intricate hardware, some displaying more delicate filigree and tassels. A drawing of <a href="http://www.libreria-apogeo.it/burbe..."&g... bologna</a> King Henry VI around midcentury shows him wearing a bright red girdle encircling the hips, from which is suspended a small gold purse.Women had begun wearing purses, now called pockets, by the [url=http://www.camfalconara.it/p...]prada bologna[/url] sixteenth century. Their skirts had ballooned in size by the Elizabethan era, with wide skirts [url=http://www.libreria-apogeo.it/...]stivali ugg[/url] stretched over a huge, drumshaped hooped petticoat called a French farthingale. The purse was worn at the waist inside the skirt, obscured by the voluminous folds of fabric.Men in the sixteenth century were also wearing pockets inside their breeches, which had also expanded in size. The largest were called pumpkin breeches, which ended dramatically above the knee. Real pockets came into use in the seventeenth century in coats and jackets. Long pants or pantaloons came along around the end of the century.After the French Revolution (17891799), women's dresses took a sharp turn away from wide skirts to the narrow, column shape of the classical Greeks. Sheer fabrics revealed a new fashion: no undergarments, or few undergarments. Where to put a purse or pocket? Purses were thus brought back out in the open as "reticules" or "indispensables." The French had fun with this notion by calling them "ridicules." Reticules were small bags closed by a drawstring. Some were steel mesh trimmed with pailettes with steel fringe beading. Others may have been circular with ribbon drawstrings, trimmed with feathers.Train Travel Creates Handbag MakersSurprisingly, the arrival of the railroad in the 1800s caused perhaps the biggest advancement in modern purses. As more people traveled [url=http://www.libreria-apogeo.it/burbe...]burberry bologna[/url] by train and more women became mobile, professional luggage makers turned their skills from horse travel to train travel. The term "handbag" emerged to describe these new handheld bags. Two of today's top makers of handbags got their starts as luggage makers: Hermes bags were founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermes, a harness and saddle maker; and Louis Vuitton was a luggage packer for the Parisian rich who parlayed his knowledge of traveling cases into LV Co.Purses and their sculptured cousins, handbags, were now free to take any form in the twentieth century. Women could select from reticules or fitted leather bags with attached opera glasses and folding fans or doll bags dressed exactly like the lady who carried it. There were handleless clutches called "pochettes" decorated with dazzling patterns and jazz motifs, which women could tuck under their arms and strike the nonchalant attitude of the age.Handbag history continued to unfold when Coco Chanel created a quiet revolution with the "2.55": the <a href="http://www.camfalconara.it/woolr..."&... woolrich milano</a> quilted handbag with chain strap that first set the fashion world on <a href="http://www.libreria-apogeo.it/...">stivali ugg</a> fire in 1955. It is said she was fond of the quilted jackets worn by jockeys, hence the quilting; and she liked a shoulder strap to keep her arms free.And the men? Many of them have come full circle, again carrying a bag, or messenger bag, or man purse. Men in Europe have been using them for years without apology. American men are increasingly following this trend, getting away from the bulging backpack and stuffed pockets. Many of the major handbag lines have specific collections for men.Whether it's a man purse, a dainty clutch or wristlet, a fabric tote, a leather hobo bag, a Marc Jacobs Cecelia satchel or Coco Chanel's 2.55, purses and handbags will retain their important place in [url=http://www.dtdrivingschool.co.uk/link... ]links of london charm bracelet[/url] modern lifestyles. Most pockets can't accommodate the items needed to be transported anymore. In fact, today's clothes are too formfitting to hide a tissue, let [url=http://www.camfalconara.it/woolr...]spaccio woolrich milano[/url] alone a cell phone or set of keys. Only a purse will suffice.
