If we were to trace the origin of handbags

Who would have ever thought that men from biblical times may have been the ones to give rise to the industry of fashionable handbags?
  If we were to trace the origin of handbags, women would likely be surprised to know that they were first utilized by a group of men some 2000 years ago. Although wholesale handbags were not in the scene at this time, men in biblical times did indeed carry the equivalent of what we consider to be the handbags of today.
  The very first handbags were literally crude pouches fashioned from leaves and animal hide.However, the first documented use of handbags is from the 14th century Egyptian hieroglyphics which depict men carrying little sacks around the waist. Called "pockets", these handbags were hung by thongs at the back of the girdle, and were used mainly by men to carry flint or money.
  This practice came to women's knowledge and from then on, its handbags became completely indispensable. Handbags, purses, or any other kinds of totes will forever be a part of women's wardrobes. Although some men continue to don handbags occasionally, women have dominated the scene in the handbag industry. No outfit can stand alone without a matching handbag. By far, handbags have encapsulated women's fashion ever since the first modern versions appeared in France.This practice came to women's knowledge and from then on, its handbags became completely indispensable.
