Handbags and Evening Purse

Fashion has always been something most women follow. A fashionable and elegant woman can easily be noticed due to her shoes and bags. That is why women spend much time and money on handbags.
When women plan their outfit, many things must be taken into consideration. The essentials, however, are coordinating the right shoes, and bag with the outfit. In this post, we will focus on the latter, as a classic handbag or evening purse can create a beautiful ensemble.
If you are like most women, your everyday handbag is full to the brim with the contents of what seems like your entire life. Evening purses, on the other hand, are designed with only enough room to fit essential cosmetics, money, keys, and a cell phone.
Evening purses have been around for quite some time, as they came into fashion in the 13th century. They were at first designed from thick fabric, to allow for the new style of pocket-less dresses. But later on, however, evening bags became stylish and fashionable accessories.
Through centuries evening purses evolved. In the 18th century they became a bit larger to accommodate the growing amount of items women desired to carry with them, such as perfumes, cosmetics and other knick-knacks.
Nowadays the most common materials for handbags are leather, velvet, fur, and taffeta. Whereas evening bags are mostly made from silk, satin, organza, tulle, and lace. But unlike handbags, evening purses are more expensive, even if they are used more sparingly.
Most known and reputable handbag designers are Gucci, Christian Dior, Couture , Chanel, and Andre Courreges.
