The Handbag...

Well... here it is... here is the result of what happens when you ask a woman to write a post for you blog :)

Yes ladies, we all have one, or one hundred and one ! And we still desire/buy/require/NEED, more!!

Handbags are a woman’s best friend. You can go without a lot of things, in this day and age, but the one thing a woman does not leave the house without, is her beloved handbag.

It may amuse you to learn that it was men, yes men, in the 14th century, that first carried a “handbag“. It was a measure of ones social status!! [ooo er. It wasn’t until the 19th century that the term ‘handbag’ emerged, to describe handheld luggage designed for rail travel.

Hence, all of our lusted after names such as Hermes, [who were in fact saddlers], Mulberry, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Dior, etc. started life making large luggage ! [yep, the kitchen sink did in fact fit]

So next time your dearly beloved dares to pass comment [also known as complaining] about your increasingly large collection - blame him !
