The ways in which people have carried themselves and their belongings throughout history have reflected the
eras in which they lived. The earliest historically verifiable were little sacks containing pomanders (scented
oranges), flint and money-were carried by gentlemen and known as "pockets". These were hung by thongs
from the back of the girdle and were often cut from behind by thieves who knew how to capitalize on a friendly
pat on the back; hence the name "cut purse".

By the 1400's both men and women were wearing them, and as times prospered and the little sacks got fuller,
they were ornamented with gold or elaborate embroidery.

A century later, the drawstring bag was a status possession. Paintings of that era show flat
bags gathered by
tasseled strings. By the end of the century, however, fashion went undercover, as women preferred to wear
their pouches under their skirts.

In 1670, breeches with built-in pockets came into fashion for men. But they did continue to carry a little netted
"purse" for money inside the pocket.

In the 18th century, pouches for both men and women disappeared. After the French Revolution, however, the
style of women's clothes was so delicate that it was impossible for them to contain a pocket. Out into the open
came the handbag, then known as a reticule (and occasionally a "ridicule" by men whose idea that was of a
good joke).

Skirts became more ample, and pockets won the next round. Even when dresses grew tighter in the 1880's,
purses were slow to return. The real renaissance came around the turn of the century, with the advent of the
hobble skirt. A pocket was an impossibility, and very large handbags carried by long strings or chains became
popular.

In the 20's, as dresses got skimpier, handbags became indispensable, and have remained so until the present,
both as a utility and as a fashion item reflecting a personal style. Now every fashion has it and every woman
can have a wardrobe of shapes and colors.
