For some, it's the love for shoes; but hardly would you find a woman dressed without a handbag. Be it a purse, a clutch, a side bag or what have you, women (from celebrities to the average woman) always have these accessories with them. The functional use of these items is to help carry the essential belongings like wallet, mobile phone, and the like. Beside this, they are fashionable objects that complement their style of dressing. While some women have just about one or two that they use interchangeably, others keep a wide range of them from hand-crafted to luxury bags.

For women, the real essence of handbags will be a source of hiding place for some peculiar objects such as: sanitary pad, make up kit, and even more; depending on the particular individual in question. With or without these, handbags ought to be eye-catching. They need to complement what you are wearing at a particular time. For some men, the way a woman carries a handbag alone is a turn on for them. Whereas some people are into the make of the item, others prefer the simple handmade ones.

Moving forward, let us dive a bit into the history of handbags. Sometime back, women walked and made their personal possessions visible in their pockets. This was shocking to most people; making them mock these women. In the end, it led to the invention of an item for carrying such belongings. Ladies’ handbags are available in a variety of designs, colors and sizes. We have the summer bags, the church bags, work bags, amongst others. For each occasion and purpose, it is advisable to hold the appropriate kind.

Assuming you are to suggest a bag shop for a friend, where would it be? Some popular brands have made a name for themselves and as such their products are spread worldwide. I advise you therefore, to be cautious and get them from reputable sources. You want to avoid throwing your money away by buying inferior products. What you need to know is that this product comes in various materials: leather, wool, sackcloth, just to mention a few.

Once you are a female, it is evident to exhibit style in every way. A female holding an authentic bag means she knows what she's about. Nonetheless, top brands always bring out new designs and collections; so what will be standard now may not be in some years to come. Therefore, you have to be current to keep up with what is trending.

To conclude, these are some of the little things that women can relate to and serve as a source of bonding among them. Designer handbags are in vogue now; and from the look of things, they will continue to be at the top for some time till they finally fade out.
