The history of bags dated as far back as ancient Egypt. The ancient Egyptian and certain other writing systems depict males with bags tied around their waist. The Bible mentions pouches, especially with regard to Judas Iscariot carrying one around, holding his personal items.
According to Wikipedia, Women also wore more ornate drawstring bags, typically called hamondeys or tasques, to display their social status. The 14th-century handbags evolved into wedding gifts from groom to bride. These medieval pouches were embroidered, often with depictions of love stories or songs. Eventually, these pouches evolved into what is known as a chaneries, which were used for gaming or food for falcons.
Bags are parts of women's dressing.There are so many types of handbags to choose from. They all vary in design, colour, and size; even the price is something to consider as well. Some are really affordable, while others are damn expensive. Of course, there is a particular handbag for every occasion, for instance, the handbag that you carry around to the office is differnt from the one you carry to a night party with your girlfriends or to a date with your man. A church bag also differs from the one for a wedding party or to a market place, as well as to schools. If the bag is for every day use, you must definitely think about durability and not just the style. After all, you do not want to replace it after only a month of using it. Another thing to keep in mind for everyday handbags is the colour. It is always best to go with a neutral color that would go well with any outfit that you are wearing. Blacks, grays, beiges, browns and nudes are definitely good choices. The size must be big enough to carry everything that you need on a daily basis but not too big that you look like you are going on a weekend vacation.
Secondly, most ladies are willing to sacrifice style for comfort but it is always fantastic when you marry both options. The only thing that you have to remember is to make sure that it is long enough but not too long or else that would not only look funny but it will also be uncomfortable.
Thirdly, many women do not consider this important point when choosing handbags but the thing is, it is always best to get one with compartments and small pockets, especially if the bag is big. Ladies carry many important things in their bags and you really do not want to be searching through just to find a particular item.
It is best when you choose a bag having compartments, they really come handy.
While selecting a perfect handbag, durability, fitness, affordability and usability are the major factors that must be considered. Personality and taste, as well as your budget equally matters. At the end of the day, it is the owner who will be seen with the bag. Likewise, the choices for the colours and designs to go for also comes to play while deciding on which to get.
Today, handbags come in various shapes, sizes and designs. Kudos to the creative producers and designers, who make use of different materials in bag making, just as we order for the exotic imported designer bags, we cannot leave behind the locally made beaded bags, "ankara", "adire", jute, bags sewn into beautiful designs for different purposes.

Speaking with a lover of bags, Mrs. Modupe Idowu, who has an array of beautiful pieces in her collections, she said her love for good bags is second to none.
