Women's designer evening bags and pochette
The evolution of the women's bag
Women's bags are an accessory capable of transcending fashion and make women feel attractive and confident. The bag was born as a masculine accessory, made mostly from leather, a resistant and durable material.
The first evolution of women's bags took place around the 17th century when pockets were separated from bulky clothes and hung on the belt tied under the skirt. Between the eight hundreds and the beginning of the nine hundreds, women started to travel and therefore bags were made bigger with plenty of compartments able to contain everything necessary. Some bags were richly decorated and were hung on the waist with a chain so that everything was always at hand. During the Thirties little bags with a chain shoulder strap became more widespread, very elegant and chic. After the Second World War the joy of living was rediscovered and with it the taste for social life developed, a simple and refined taste in dressing where all the accessories were coordinated, as demonstrated by the unforgettable style icon Grace Kelly. Fashions today change too quickly, but the bag represents a true declaration of your personality and your style.
Designer evening bags and pochette
As every woman knows, every circumstance requires a particular type of bag. For the day, you can opt for a maxi bag capable of holding everything necessary for work and spending the day outdoor. For free time, you can wear a comfortable and versatile cross-body, but for an evening event or a day-to-day occasion you cannot do better than a clutch or pouch. On the website there are lots of designer evening bags and clutch models available, perfect for adding character to an outfit with elegance and originality. The mini bag was founded in the 1800, when women usually carried small embroidered bags in silk called the “reticule” bag. However, the history of the clutch bag seems even older: the first French woman to use the term clutch to indicate “une petite bourse” was the medieval poetess Marie de France, who lived between 1160 and 1215. The clutch bag is a small, space-saving bag that is usually carried by hand. It is an essential bag, with a minimal design, in which to put the really essential things, such as a credit card and a smartphone. The etymology of the French term ‘pochette' derives from the union of the word ‘poche' (which in French means pocket): originally, therefore, its meaning was 'small pocket'. Evening bags are a must-have for ceremonies or parties and, despite the repetitive changes in fashion trends, they remain an indissoluble constant. They accompany elegant outfits and embellish ceremony dresses, giving that extra touch and adding style, especially if the bag is matched with a pair of shoes. However, fashion in the last few years no longer requires you to match your bag to your shoes, it's even better to mismatch, even if however, you need to do so wisely and carefully. Undoubtedly this fashionable accessory in the last few years has experienced a real evolution in form, materials, embroideries, and prints, becoming a must-have for every woman. By now you can indulge in lots of different models available, until you find the perfect clutch for your needs and tastes. The pouch can be carried also with a maxi bag, following the trends of the moment, for a casual look, but at the same time refined. In fact, the pouch can also be carried during the day to show off even a basic look like jeans and a t-shirt, so you can highlight the day/night contrast or even a pair of cargo trousers and a soft blouse to create an original outfit, very chic and sophisticated. The mini bag is the accessory of the moment which, thanks to its versatility, can be worn all the time and with any look, from the elegant one, to the sportier, succeeding to emphasize the outfit in an original but not too obvious way. An evening clutch bag is ideal whether you go out with friends, your partner, or your colleagues. Also perfect for events like baptisms, weddings and classy parties: the ceremony clutch bag combines comfort and style and lends itself to any combination. Many fashion addicts also combine the color of the handbag with that of nails for a truly classy effect.
