The shoulder bag

Very fashionable, the shoulder bag is according to Patti Wood a way of voluntarily covering the outfit and the body shape. We find it especially practical and it remains the favorite of young free-spirited and over-excited women. It also the preserve that artistic and bohemian look.

The bag is worn on the forearm

The elbow is bent, the hand reaches towards the chest, the wrist is bent and the handle is stuck in the crook of the elbow? No doubt, you are one of those strong women who wear their bag as a trophy, symbol of success and power. According to Patti Wood, this behavior is symptomatic of women sure of themselves.

The two-handed clutch

Usually used in the evening and worn with both hands in front of you, it means that you are someone rather shy, sometimes on the defensive. According to Patti Wood, this behavior “looks flimsy, as if you were trying to protect your belongings. If you find yourself standing like that at a gallant date, it means that you feel weird about the situation. So preferably carry the wallet with one hand …

The bag carried by hand

It is the prerogative of modern women and in a hurry, athletic, active women … In short, all those who do not have the time!

The bag worn in the crook of your forearm

When the bag is worn in the crook of your forearm against your waist with your hand on the front of the bag. This posture is more utilitarian than aesthetic. What your bag contains is more important than to show it off. This behavior shows that you are someone determined!

Thumb in the handle

The bag is worn on the shoulder but the elbow is bent to allow the thumb to pass through the handle. You are clever and cautious. According to the expert “I see women doing this in cosmopolitan cities. They remember the advice of their mothers who told them to protect their bags … they do not want to be torn off as they walk! They are clever. “

The napkin

This type of bag is generally used by active women, those who, finally, place more importance on the place where they go than on the appearance. They are strong women who move quickly despite the weight in their bag.

And you? How do you carry your bag?

From Antiquity to the Middle Ages, practical accessories

In antiquity, the first handbags were used by slaves, who collected their master’s belongings in more or less large purses made of goats’ hair. what was chic at that time is to travel empty handed. The handbag until the Middle Ages had a purely practical use only. At that time, the travelers will carry their food in it, and the workers will store their tools, the ecclesiastics store the coins destined for the needy in a bag which one will call the chaplain (also used by the rich, for the same usage) … basically, each activity has its own purse.

These little practical items will be worn by both women and men. Because at that time the clothes are not yet equipped with pockets. The bags are attached to the waist or belt, and contain all kinds of things!

Among the richest, an accessory resembling our current wallet and called the purse was very fashionable. It was often equipped with a lock because it was mainly used to carry money or jewelry.

In short, until the eighteenth century, the ancestors of handbags were in no way fashion accessories, they had only a well-defined practical aspect. But before arriving at his stage of fashion accessory, they have somewhat disappeared from circulation …

During the Renaissance, the handbag almost disappears

From the sixteenth century, when the period of the Renaissance takes over all of Europe, the various bags are gradually disappearing – victims of fashion, in the true sense of the word.

Because the clothes of the time, with bulging fabrics and imposing shapes, allow adding some kinds of pockets below the petticoats. Thus, under the ladies’ dresses and the gentlemen’s breeches, were always some kind of open-top canvas bags, accessible from the outside by slits, and were being attached to the waist.

This ancestor of our current pockets allows the elegant to get rid of bags, which tarnished the balance of the silhouette.

Necessary items were carried by hands, while the rest were arranged under the skirts. The richest and the members of the court, of course, have servants to carry the stuff they need.

It returns to fashion in the late eighteenth century

It is only in the eighteenth century that we will begin to take an interest in old purses and bags. In addition to the small pockets worn under the clothes, in high society, we will begin to wear chatelaines.

The chatelaines are accessories in silver or gold, which are attached to the waist, and on which the pendants are arranged, in order to hang items that you want: useful objects such as decoration pure and simple. This is was the first step in the fashion that is handbags. The chatelaines become one of the handbag ancestors!

The first handbags as we know them, will (re) make their appearance during the nineteenth century, little by little. In the 1800s, during the First Empire, fashion was the ancient-inspired dresses.  the dresses become tightened, simplified and shortened, therefore, it was impossible for the ladies to continue to put pockets under their skirts, and to wear chatelaines to their belt.

The elegant women then carried handbags matching their outfit, in which they put what they need, whether at home (a sewing kit, for example), or outside (a purse, a fan, binoculars for opera …). These pouches are often round, sometimes square, and decorated with stones. They were like jewels, and, like them, they show to which social rank one belongs!

Men, in all this, keep their trousers pockets and abandon the man bags from year to year to no longer wear them at all.

At the end of the 19th century, and until today, it becomes an indispensable feminine accessory

Little by little, women can no longer do without the handbag, which becomes an indispensable accessory, as pretty as dresses and shoes. They are small, and always perfectly matched to the outfit, even cut in the same fabric.

More and more, the bourgeoisie develops a keen interest in travel, whether by train or boat. It is, therefore, necessary to produce accessories to transport the users’ belongings. The height of chic is to buy personalized and luxurious luggage, to replace the simple suitcases without design.

Moreover, Louis Vuitton will make a fortune by becoming the favorite brand of Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III. Little by little, the handbags are expanding, taking inspiration from this luxury luggage. They are designed to hold more than a fan and a pocket mirror: you take with you something to take care of during the trip.

The handbag then knew many fluctuations during the century, depending on fashion and economy.

In the 1920s, it was small, to contain only a lipstick and a pack of cigarette: perfect for dancing all night to the music frenzied era.

During the 1930s, the minaudière (clutch) is in the spotlight: a small rigid bag, it is like a jewel in which we put little things. Very elegant, it is mainly reserved for outings.

During the 1940s, World War II raged. The women are abandoning their traditional leather handbag, worn daily for several years now, to send them to the military, where they will be transformed to reinforce the uniforms of the soldiers. The fabric will be the master material of lady’s bags until the 1950s when leather will return to the forefront.

During this second part of the twentieth century, the handbag will remain preferred by most women, whether for its practical or aesthetic side.

Whatever the fashion, it continues to sublimate many outfits, and whether we like our bag big, small, slung or worn over the shoulder or held by hand, the least we can say is that it has survived throughout the ages!

So, whether in stores or online, there is always something to satisfy the tastes of everyone, whether it is classic, sophisticated, chic, cool or just what is trendy nowadays. What is certain is that for some time now, colorful suitcases have been on the rise at the expense of neutral-colored models. More and more travelers are choosing suitcases in bright colors such as burgundy, plum, pink or blue and there are even demand models with some original patterns.

Major brands such as Samsonite or Delsey have already positioned themselves in this market for a long time and we must believe that they know a lot of success for that. But how to explain this craze around these products. In short, why it is better to choose a colored bag rather than another one with neutral-color?

We choose a colorful suitcase to stand out

The first reason for people to chose which suitcase to buy is nothing more than a matter of preference. It can be the desire to be noticed, to distinguish oneself from others or to surf the wave of trends. So whenever someone has chosen to show up at the airport or at the train station with colorful suitcases, it is because they want to protrude their looks. So the choice when it comes to this accessory constitutes one of the key elements that allow them to manifest their personality.

In fact, a flashy suitcase never goes unnoticed in boarding halls especially if they are enhanced with unique prints. If you have the same ambitions, and if you are not afraid of the eyes of others especially when traveling alone, then you should go with a colorful suitcase. Because the choice when it comes to this matter is almost unlimited: Royal yellow, fuchsia pink, bright red or indigo blue. any color that you can think of, you can have it on your luggage, so indulge yourself. You can even go harder by adopting these ultra-colorful patterned suitcases to embody your proven fashionable temperament. The prints are ad infinitum, there are polka dots, stripes, flowers, pop art … in short, you will be spoiled when it comes to choice!

We choose a colorful suitcase for a question of practicality

If there is another reason for choosing a colored suitcase, it is good to be able to locate it easily on the baggage carousel. Which saves more time on arrival at the moment of receiving baggage, all that we want is to quickly find our bags and leave the airport as soon as possible.

So, if your suitcase is black or of a traditional color. Not only will you find it difficult to find it in the middle of hundreds of luggage of the same color. But in addition, you risk losing it because another passenger would have confused it with his. We are never immune to such mistakes when taking a flight. So as to avoid the inconvenience that may arise, it is more astute to take a suitcase whose color will be easier to identify.

Tips and tricks of the perfect bag

The bag is the touch of color to your look, it follows you everywhere and contains the most important things in your everyday life. Here are the good tips to know before choosing your bag:

Avoid Black Color:

Well don’t get us wrong we will suggest black In most fashion cases, but this time we will say avoid the black bag. The bag is a good opportunity to wear color and boost an outfit with basic colors. Opt for Klein blue, fir green, coral or deep red and of course, you can always count on sure colors like nude, camel, beige or white.

Choose Beautiful Materials:

Whether you opt for natural leather, fabric or nylon, pay attention to the quality of the material. Take a look at the label if you are not sure of the material and avoid the imitation leather that will not last in time and will not support the excess weight (if you have to take your laptop for example). The lining is also important: it must be resistant, pay particular attention to seams. If the lining contains small pockets of storage, it is a plus not to neglect.

Pay Attention To details:

The details count as much in leather goods as in textiles. So be very careful about the finish of the bag (zippers, any buttons, the metal used, leather pompons …). Ornaments, such as zip zipper or rivets (small nails adorning the bag) must also be strong and of good quality. If the zip breaks, repairing it might just cost you almost the price of the bag itself.

Invest in a bag “multi occasions”:

No need to change it between work and outings, it is waste of time. This bag must be chic enough to dress up but also cool enough to be dragged anywhere. For short, this bag must be in a beautiful leather (smooth or aged). But there are other criteria to take into account. Here are the five most important ones:

• Strong red, pink, green, yellow, blue … or basic color camel, nude, beige …
• Closed by a zip to be safe from pickpockets (you never know!)
• Medium size, like a 48h format (perfect for work) chose A rather long format than the high format.
• With a shoulder strap and a handle to carry it by hand (multiple handles add style to your bag!)

Which Bag For Which Occasion?

To change your style in the blink of an eye, change your bag! A tip, do it with great attention, and do not forget anything in the old bag, check the small pockets! There are many forms of bags, here is a small overview of three very different forms that we commander for you:

The Perfect Satchel During The Day

The satchel, whatever its size, is a bag of the most practical. Its shallow shape allows you to organize everything along the length. The pockets on the front also allow you to store small things you need at your fingertips.
The briefcase is either worn or worn on the shoulder like a little schoolgirl. Choose it in a neon summer color or in a beautiful print to add a fancy touch to your look. Avoid buying it in a glossy brown leather, a little too classic …
It is ideal for going to work or going out on weekends. It will also give a preppy look and a little vintage to all your dresses.

The Hobo Bag Goes Everywhere

The Hobo bag can have many facets. Its shape is more classic, the flap on the bag also contains the clasp of it. Its round shape is an easy form to tackle. The worn is shoulder strap in most cases but you can also carry it by hand or under the arm with an additional handle.
Choose the classic, in a beautiful vintage leather or smooth, or play the contrasts by choosing a leather of color with golden ornaments. it is the perfect bag for the multi-occasions! With some chic details that stylize it like a golden design, you can wear it from noon to midnight!

The Little Bag

The clutch is ideal in the evening when you do not have all your life to carry. Whether it has a flap or mini detachable handle, the key is to know how to wear it. For the two situations: Wear it under the arm if the pouch is long, or by hand if the pouch is small.
Remember to take your wallet in your daily bag, you can store some of your belongings and easily use it if you only want to take the essentials after a day of work or at a lunch meeting.

Know to finish, you must stay in the proportions of your body. You can go for the little bags if you have a sleek and slender figure, but for the most luscious opt for a bit larger bag. If you have a and A body shape, avoid carrying your bag over the shoulder and falling on your hips, instead wear under the arm!  On the contrary, if you have a V-shaped body type, you should wear your bag over the shoulder to add volume to the hips. Once again do not hesitate to wear color, even in winter. The bag is ideal when it is colorful to complement the coats and jackets!

Handbag Etiquette At The Table

1- Do Not Put Your Handbag on the table or the ground

let’s begin with purse etiquette at the table. Whether you’re having a casual lunch with your friends or your at a formal dinner. The most important thing to remember is that your bag should never be placed on top of the table. Not just for Hygiene reasons, but also because it is considered extremely rude no matter how beautiful or expensive your bag maybe. Know that the dining surface is where food and utensils are placed. Therefore, your bag nor wallet, clutch, keys or phone do not belong there and should never be placed on a table.

Also, your bag on the table can also transport germs and bacteria just as placing it on the floor can which isn’t very pleasant. Another reason that makes the floor not a very good option where to place your bag. By placing it there, it makes it easy for your stuff to fall out of it. Also, it can be in the way of those passing by, causing them to trip or kicking it and damaging it. and when the bag is on the ground it is out of your sight, and where it can be easily forgotten or taken.

2- Do Not Put Your Handbag on The Back of Your Chair

The third place where your bag shouldn’t be while you are at the table is on the back or arm of your chair. Be mindful of your bag and those around you, and know that when your bag is on the back of the chair it maybe in the way of those passing by and isn’t as safe as it would be when the bag is in your possession. this applies to all handbag, shoulder bags, tote bags, and purses. Remember they should never be placed over the back of the chair, on the floor or on the table. Fortunately, there are better options where you can place your bag comfortably and safely while being mindful of it and others. Such as an empty seat next to you, In your lap or in your seat behind you.

3- Put Your Handbag Either Behind Your Back on Your Lap or on a Chair Next To You

When you at a restaurant or dining with others you may place your bag on an empty chair or stool at the same table you’re at, if there is an empty seat available. Remember to be courteous if someone would like to occupy the chair, and move your purse to your lap so they may take a seat. Now If there isn’t an empty chair available at your table that you may place your purse or clutch behind you on your chair or on your lap and since elegant bags are small in size this makes them ideal to place on your lap or behind you comfortably.

Now, remember to sit up tall and maintain your elegant posture at the table. If some reason while your bag is placed behind you feels uncomfortable or your bag is at risk of falling through slots of the chair. place your bag or clutch on your lap to be sure your purse is laying flat on your lap underneath your napkin. Now as a table etiquette, we place one hand in our lap to hold the bag and napkin together while dining. This is a great way to keep your bag secure with you throughout the meal and maintain elegant purse and table etiquette. by placing your bag on an empty seat next to you in your chair behind you or on your lap you will be better able to Keep it with you at all times and help create a better environment for yourself and others.

Handbag Etiquette While Socializing 

1- Always wear Your Handbag on Your Left

Handbag Etiquette can also improve the way you socialize with others while having elegance, and you can do that all by just carrying your bag on your left side. The queen of England is very well known for always matching her shoes and handbag, and always carrying it on her left side. By holding and carrying your bag on your left this leaves your right hand it on available for socializing with other Weather you may be right handed or left handed your right hand is your social hand so when we greet someone we shake hands using our right hand so to keep your right hand or social hand free and greet others with ease and grace. Which is always polite and very elegant. otherwise carrying your handbag on the right side can basically send a message that you were socially unavailable and especially at a formal event this can be as off-putting as being on your phone the entire time which isn’t very elegant.

Besides having to move your bag out of the way and take the time to switch it to your left side can be kind of awkward, all because your bag was carried on your right side. This is why it’s best to carry your bag on your left. So you may display your politeness and elegance everywhere you go. Whether you are at a formal event or meeting up with a friend, always carry your bag on your left side so you’ll be better able to breathe and socialize with ease and elegance. Also to create a better environment for those you are with and for yourself.

2- Be Mindful of Your Bag While You Are In Crowded Areas

Be mindful of your bag while you are In crowded areas, and if you’re carrying your bag on your shoulder while walking through a crowded Highway, bus or anywhere else where are a lot of people. you may hold your bag down on your left arm or best carry it in front of you, and this will let you navigate the crowds a bit more easily. as well as keep your bag safe with you while being considerate of others.

Be Mindful of Your Questions

Another handbag etiquette to remember when you are with others is to never ask someone if your handbag is real, or how much it cost. keep in mind that unless they choose to share this information themselves, it is not polite to ask otherwise. simply enjoy their company and your time together and that what matters most. For the finishing touch to have an elegant handbag make it is to always treat it with care and keep it clean. Our bags are carried with us almost everywhere we go which means it has collected so much dirt along the way as well this is why it’s so important to keep your back clean to compliment your elegance and handbag etiquette.

Hopefully, these tips are helpful to you and you’ll remember and use them so you make carrying your bag confidently. And handle it in a manner that displays your elegance and Grace this way you’ll be creating a better environment not just for yourself, but for those around you as well. Which will display your charming care and consideration, and let your inner beauty shine bright. Always remember one small but kind action from you is all it takes to brighten someone’s else day.

Let say you’ve had your eye on one particular handbag and wanted for the longest time. You’ve saved money and finally, you are ready to buy your brand new fashion item. But before you do that, just think of all those retailers eager to sell you a very good replica or in some cases a decent fake of a designer bag. Really it’s like buying a luxury car for men. You have to be very attentive to small details and know everything about your dream handbag. That’s why we decided to create a short yet a very useful guide that will teach you how to choose the real thing. So here are:

1. Attention To Details :

Every single item produced by any famous brand is very carefully checked for defects before its release. all of the stitches should be perfectly even and there should be no loose threads or any other visual defects or imperfections. all genuine designer handbags are handmade. therefore, if sellers try to convince you that it’s just a manufacturing defect. don’t listen to their stories, there’s no such thing as a manufacturing defect for authentic handbags.

2. Clasps, Buttons, and Zippers :

Pay special attention to small things like metal clasps buttons, zipper pulls, plates, and locks. Their quality should be perfect, and they should have a number or a name printed on them. Which is another sign of quality and authenticity, for example, every Hermes bag has a stamped logo Hermes Paris made in France. Another stamp on the back of the bag indicates the year and material used. So spend a little extra time in the shop to check all the details it’s worth it.

3. Materials :

Pay attention to the materials because dispenser bags manufacturers do not use rough leather. They only use fine high-quality materials, when you touch them you feel like you are in Paradise. Items with leather trim should not be oily or sticky. Some designer handbags can be soft and flexible, but they all maintain their shape no matter what. So be extremely attentive and do not be afraid to ask the seller more questions.

4. Brand Names :

Sometimes we can get lost in the details and we don’t even notice the main thing, the name of the brand. Surprisingly fake items often have the brand names printed in different fonts, smudgy letters or even with misspellings. Tags and labels are always a giveaway if the spelling of the brand name seems unusual to you put aside the bag and find another seller.

5. Serial Number

A serial number is one of the most important marks of authenticity. Label with the number is sealed and attached in a special way making it impossible to remove without damaging. Fake items usually have a sticker with a number that has just been glued somewhere on the surface, and it will be easy to notice if you take a closer look.

6. Packaging :

Keep in mind that an expensive designer handbag always has expensive packaging, often made of the highest quality materials. The package your precious bag comes in should have no colored defects whatsoever. All the additional accessories should be packed as a whole set with the bag. They are never offered for extra payment or as a gift.

7.  Distinct Characteristics :

Before visiting a store do some research on the specific attributes of the chosen brand. Remember each brand has its very own distinct characteristics, for example, an authentic Prada item will never use a contrasting color for the lining compared to the exterior color. One of the main things you should know about Prada is that they always use perfectly matching colors for lining and exterior material. As for Dior look for their unique bright red lining with the brand logo woven throughout, a shiny super silky lining is a bad sign.
