Have you ever wondered about the origin of replica handbags and
purses? Handbags have been essential to daily life ever since people
have had something precious to carry around with them and only the
items have changed over time. The very first mention in written
literature comes from the 14th century, even though Egyptian
hieroglyphs show pouches carried around the waist. Bags were attached
to what were called "girdles" which were fastened to the waist.
Embroidery and jewels adorned these articles and were used to show
status - the richer the person, the more elaborate the bag. More

In the 16th century, replica handbags took on more of an air of
practicality with the use of everyday materials such as leather with a
drawstring fastener on top. During this period, cloth bags were used
that were made larger and used by travelers and carried diagonally
across the body. The 17th century saw more variety and both fasionable
men and women carried small purses with more complex shapes. Young
girls were taught embroidery as a very necessary skill to make them
marriagable and we see the rise of beautiful and unique stitched
artwork in handbags.

Neo-classical clothing became popular in the 18th century with a
reduction in the amount of underclothing worn by women. Wearing a fake
purse would ruin the look of this clothing so fasionable ladies
started carrying their handbags which were called reticules. Women had
a different bag for every occasion and every fashion magazine had
arguments on the proper carrying of these purses. In the reticules one
would find rouge, face powder, a fan, a scent bottle, visiting cards a
card case, and smelling salts.

The term "handbag" first came into use in the early 1900's and
generally referred to hand-held luggage bags usually carried by men.
These were an inspiration for new bags that became popularized for
women, including complicated fasteners, internal compartments, and
locks. With this new fashion, jewelers got into the act with special
compartments for opera glasses, cosmetics, and fans.

The 1920's saw a revolution in fashion with varying hemlines and
lighter clothing. Bags no longer needed to match the outfit perfectly
and the rage was for the stylish lady to carry a doll dressed exactly
like herself, complete with matching bag for her minature companion!
The discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb inspired Egyptian art on
purses. The 1940's saw new austerity in clothing, including handbags
with the war effort in mind. Metal frames, zips, leather, and mirrors
were in short supply so manufacters used plastic and wood. The 50's
saw the rise of important designer houses including Chanel, Louis
Vuitton, and Hermes and the 60's saw the breakdown of old notions of
the classical and the rise of youth culture.

Copy is the most sincere form of flattery and, if so, Kate Spade,
Gucci, Coach and Dior must be very flattered! There are many replica
handbags flooding the market (just visit Canal Street in New York
City!). Some of these "designer fakes" even carry the label of the
Company they are imitating while others just have the signature "C" or
"G" without the label.

What's in the future of handbags? My personal prediction is more
individualized bags and interesting fabrics. What do you think? Send
