The 1940s and Beyond

In the 1940s, while WW II was in progress, British women needed handbags that could carry not only their personal items but also a gas mask. With these very large bags, people started wearing the on the shoulder or body. In the 1950s, designers like Chanel began to create handbags, giving them a bit of classiness. Smaller bags were in vogue in the 1960s and 1970s and the clutch bag was indicative of the period’s relaxed, modern culture. In the 1980s and 1990s, when necessary personal items needed more carrying space — gym clothes, calculators, walking or running shoes, bulky cell phones and the ubiquitous water bottle – handbags were designed for order and control. Nowadays, there are no specific rules on handbags. 21st century handbags borrow from past, present and future, resulting in an amazing variety of sizes, shapes, styles and materials.
