Recently, I read an interesting article about the precious handbag in Brandweek. Essentially, it compared handbags as being emotionally-charged as a woman's diamond. I'm not sure if that's taking it a bit far, but I do agree that handbags (a.k.a., purse; pocketbook) have become the must-have accessory.
The fetish for shoes now has a rival - the handbag.
For some women, handbags may be leading the way as their new fetish.
When you think about it, handbags are the one true accessory that looks good on ANYONE! No matter if you are young, old, heavy, thin, making six-figures or in credit card debt, a great handbag can always be envied! Shoes don't have that ability. You can easily negate the envy idea of a sexy pair of shoes on someone because you know you could never walk a NYC block with those 3-inch heels. But a handbag on the other hand, even if it's slightly larger than you might be known to wear or extremely more expensive than you can afford, still can stir up your fashionista fantasies of what it would look like thrown over your shoulder dashing through the airport on your way to some jet-set destination.
See what I mean? - this now practically stylish bag has transported me from a
thing that carries my stuff to a
ticket to a living a glamorous lifestyle.
Where's your handbag taking you?
