History of National Handbag Day

National Handbag Day was first celebrated in the year 2013. It was created by Purse blog, a handbag industry with a blog that follows fashion and handbags. Handbag Day acknowledges the importance of handbags in daily life and fashion. A handbag is a purse or pouch often used by women to hold personal items. It is a handled medium-to-large bag that is often fashionably designed in many shapes and sizes. The celebration of the day recognizes that a handbag is an essential item of an individual’s closet. A handbag is a larger accessory to holds objects beyond currency, like personal items. The purse is a term that originally refers a small bag for holding coins. It is used even now to refer to a small coin bag in British English. They were made of soft fabric or leather. It was worn by men as often as ladies.

National Handbag Day

American English typically uses both purse and handbag interchangeably. A handbag is a term that begins appearing in the early 1900s. It was most often used in referring to men’s hand luggage initially. During this period women’s bags grew larger and more complex, and the term was attached to the accessory. The Industrial Revolution of England brought the usage of the modern-day purse, clutch, pouch, or handbag. The rationing of textiles for World War II during the 1940s led to the manufacturing of handbags made of raffia or crocheted from yarn materials. The oldest known purse dates back to more than 5000 years.
