A handbag or purse is a woman's protection - a shield of fabric, hides our occasional bad attire, mood and belongings. It stores all our prized possesions; phone, keys, our favourite gloss or stain and our money. But, what makes me wonder is, how can a man carry all his belongings in just one pocket? How do they fit an entire bag into one small slot?
I personally could never go out without a handbag. To some, it's their life, their everything - life depends on that one storage accessory. No matter if it's a clutch bag or a carry-all, every important aspect is stored safely in that bag.
But why do we rely so much on it? Wouldn't it be easier to grab everything and shove it in your pocket? - no, there is no organisation there whatsoever and there is no chance that a big purse full of cards, notes and coins will squeeze into my skinny jeans' pocket!
Like style, I feel a bag defines a person or their mood at first sight. Is she high street or high end? What's her profession? Where does she shop? Is she bold and colourful or chic and minimal? All these questions can be answered by a woman's bag. Of course, a woman can have hundreds of bags, different to suit the trends, their mood and their personality so maybe it doesn't always define someone from atom? Maybe it's an armor to shelter this atom?
And so, is this what a bag is to a woman? A way to define herself, who she is without even noticing at times? Or is it one big shield to hide herself rather than define herself from the world?
