Handbag - A Women's Best Friend and A Companion - By: Mark Bennette

Every day millions of women travel to offices or go shopping with their best friend. This best friend is not actually a person, but acts as a good companion. This cannot advise them, but at times makes them ready or spice up their relationships. Now you may be thinking who or what this is. It is a thing which is the sole companion of every woman, a handbag.

It is hard to understand a woman's fashion sense. I know being fashionable is what a woman wants as it helps her to be a part of the class or the group for which she aspires. In her close friend's group, which kind of acts like a secret society, every member has this accessory of different colors and sizes. Most of the time, women will be complementing the other person's handbag while inquiring about the place where it was bought and at what price. Even some of them give a detailed description about the different portions in the handbag and their usage, just like how an agent explains about his weapon.

It may sound funny to compare a handbag to a weapon, but in reality it is a kind of a weapon for women. Not because they keep pepper spray or stun gun in it, but the main usage of the handbag for women is to make them get ready to face the audacities of life. And obviously a lot of other things like carrying some things to touch up their face, hair brush, etc.

Do you know originally the word handbag was used by men? During the 1900's the term handbag was used for men's hand luggage, but as years passed by the size of the men's hand luggage became small and women' hand luggage size increased enormously. Sometimes a handbag is also known as a purse, and this purse or handbag was introduced in England during the Industrial Revolution. Initially at that time and even now men have been using this purse to keep coins or dollar bills, driving license, credit cards etc.

Currently, in the fashion industry, handbags have a great market. Not only top designer companies make handbags, but also promote them through advertisements and celebrities. With this being a lucrative business, designer companies need to understand a woman's necessity. A lot of people who are in the fashion industry are men, from the person who does makeup to the one who designs clothes. Generally, women seem to have different tastes than what men think they have.

I met my sister for Christmas. She had bought a lot of things for her and her family and I couldn't resist myself asking about the things she had bought. She allowed me take a look at them, among which I noticed these two little colorful handbags. She normally has a closet full of handbags and these two happened to be the new additions. I was curious and for the most part a little concerned as to why she went for these new handbags, where she already has loads of them to choose from. It all stems from the habit of watching a celebrity and craving for it to own something like that. This time, it was a celebrity red carpet event for the movie Mission Impossible 4 that she saw on her TV connected to Dish TV, where Katie Homes made an appearance showing off her designer outfit and a handbag. Driven by zest and thirst, my sister had bought these handbags for Christmas. It is worth mentioning that she is not a shopaholic, but when it comes to handbags, it's a different scenario.

To conclude, handbags have become a basic necessity in a woman's life and makes her feel as one among the crowd to which she aspires.
