Frugal Fashions Handbag Accessory Trend

The modern purse, pouch or handbag came about in England during the Industrial Revolution and the increase in travel by railway.  A "handbag" is a larger accessory, that holds items beyond currency, such as a woman's personal items.  Initially, it was most often used to refer to men's hand-luggage.  Women wanted purses that would not be bulky or untidy in appearance. Now a days women look for handbags that can carry a lot of personal items.

H. J. Cave (London) obliged and produced the first modern set of luxury handbags, as we would recognise them today, including a clutch and a tote (named as 'ladies travelling case').  Bowling bag purse: a popular 1990s "retro" style for younger women, modelled after American bags used to carry bowling balls Bags that can "Holdall" (bags) are increasing in North America.

Men's  Handbags

Men once carried coin purses, and the oldest known purse dates back more than 5000 years, and was worn by a man.  The designs are typically variations on backpacks or messenger bags, and have either a masculine or a more unisex appearance, although they are often more streamlined than a backpack, and less bulky than a briefcase.

Messenger bag: one long strap worn across the body, inspired by bags worn by urban messengers to deliver business mail, a modern silhouette.  Demand is strong after several years of popularity, possibly supported by the growing range of modern electronic devices men carry with them.
