Here’s a tidbit of trivia you may not have known about one of the most cherished accessories you’ll ever own: your handbag. Do you know where the handbag comes from? Handbags are first seen during Egyptian times when hieroglyphics showed pouches worn around the waist. In 14th century Europe, handbags showed social status based on embroidery and quality of the bag. During this time, purses were more for women and were attached to their girdle. In the 15th century, both men and women wore purses and was customary for men to give purses as gifts to their new bride with an illustration of a love story embroidered on it.

Just a bit to wet the palette. More trivia to come.
