History

It is unknown exactly when the bags exist since there have been no historical references that accurately reflect the date of their creation. However, it can be affirmed that similar instruments were used in prehistory. All this is deduced from some cave paintings found in which drawings of female figures carrying objects similar to bags can be seen. It is believed that it was possible that the nomadic man had developed the bag to be able to transport the food he hunted or collected during his movements; using for it the skin of the animals that it consumed.

The term “handbag” began to be used in the early 1900s and referred to the handbags used by men, a briefcase type. These became an inspiration for new bags that popularized the feminine gender, including bags with complicated closing mechanisms, interior compartments and handles. Thus, the jewelers also contributed theirs, adding compartments for opera glasses, cosmetics and fans. Since then, the bag has become an important element for everyday life due to its great utility. Thus, in the Bible we can find it quoted in the Book of Isaiah chapter 3:18 (approximately from the year 750 BC) that says:

The twenties brought a revolution in terms of clothing in general, with the shapes of the necklines and the length of the skirts, and bags did not necessarily have to match what they were wearing. Interestingly, the ladies of the lineage had dolls with dresses exactly the same as theirs and replicas of each accessory, including bags, hats and shoes. In the 1940s a new austerity in dress came with the arrival of war and the idea of saving in mind. Metal frames, mirrors, zippers, and leather were hard to find, so manufacturers started using wood and plastic .

In the 1950s, the first major designer houses began to emerge, including Channel, Vuitton and Hermes, and already in the 1960s, the classic and mature style was left behind to give the bag a more youthful and casual image.

Saddlebags are closely related to bags since they are the predecessors of these. Saddlebags differ in that they were short, wide, square-shaped cloth sacks that were used to transport pottery, food, and heavy objects.
