Why do women carry handbags?


It is a curious thing that handbags have remained a given of women’s fashion for centuries. Despites the wide range in developments of ladies fashion, and in particular over the past 50 years, totes such as Louis Vuitton handbag have maintained a steadfast place among the fashion accessories of the well-dressedwoman. But why?


Women’s fashion is short on pockets

There are two popular answers given to the question. The first is the existance of an inate biological need that women have to be carers and givers. From the earliest times when men roamed the wasteland trying to hunt dinner with a sharp stick the women were back at the cave taking care of the home. That homemaking aspect remains with women today who often haul everything they might need for every emergency in their handbags. The need to take care of not just themselves but also those they hold dear to themselves causes women to always come prepared. Even if it means hauling Louis Vuitton handbag full of goodies around with them where ever they roam.

The second answer is less to do with the internal make up of women and more to do with their apperance. Women’s fashion tends to avoid line-breaking pockets for the sake of aesthetic appeal and so a well-dresed lady has no where to put her essentials other than in her handbag. Some might argue that it is because women carry handbags that fashion designers feel they can omit pockets from their clothes leading to a further question of which came first, the handbag or the dress?
