A Cigar Box Purse Or Handbag Is A Unique Fashion Accessory With A Touch Of Old World Charm
Purses
Women around the world consider a purse as a necessity. A purse has a lot more significance and importance than its function, which is carrying money and other items around in it. It is used as a fashion accessory and speaks volumes about the personality of the person carrying it.
In simple terms, a purse is a small and fashionably designed bag, used to hold money, keys, makeup and other items of daily use. Purses are also popularly known as handbags, although some argue that a handbag is larger in size. Purses evolved several centuries ago, and ever since, have been an essential fashion accessory.
The first purses can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians, who used small pouches during religious ceremonies. Later, in the 14th century, purses were fastened to the waist with the help of girdles. During those days, purses were used as status symbols and were adorned with jewels and elaborate embroidery.

Handbags, Purses and Toolboxes, Oh My!
Never send a man to do a woman's job.
You'd think I would have figured that out by now, but I haven't made my quota of mistakes just yet.Somehow I got it into my head to buy my friend a handbag.
It seemed simple enough.

Is there any other kind?""There are very many kinds," SalesLady enthused.
"There is at least one for every occasion and several for every personality.
What is your friend like?"I tried to think.
Unfortunately, the only thought that wandered into my cerebrum was that maybe I should go across the street to the hardware store and just buy her a sturdy 205-piece socket set on sale for $74.99."Is she a bit wild?" SalesLady probed.
Handbags, Purses and Toolboxes, Oh My!

(ContentDesk) June 16, 2004 -- It's not often that something plain and, by all cultural definitions, masculine is transformed into a beautiful fashion accessory.But that is the concept behind a new business started in Granada Hills, CA. Lisa Cody, founder and principle designer of The Cigar Box Diva is forging her way into the fashion accessory business.As one might guess by the name, these are no ordinary handbags; they are "cigar box purses", a fashion trend that has caught on in many parts of the country.The idea is simple. Take an empty cigar box and decorate it with fabric, ribbons, beads and photographs. Add decorative hardware like bamboo handles, brass latches and coordinating fabric lining and you've got yourself a handbag. Simple right? Not quite.
"There's a difference between crafting and designing" Cody stresses. "I put much more thought into my purses than many others on the market. Quality craftsmanship is the key. I love creating my purses and it shows in the craftsmanship...
