Cotton handbag, 'Star Shine'
By Kristen
Favorite Bag!
I absolutely love this bag. I have had it for several years now. The sling style is super comfortable to wear crossbody. I dont get the shoulder pain I frequently do with other bags. It is easy to forget I even have it on. It is a great size and I can fit a lot in it if need be. Would definitely recommend this product.
Men's leather wallet, 'Suave in Red'
By Robert
Great product
Handsome wallet, well crafted, & practical Its hard to find a wallet with a secure change compartment let alone one that looks so good.
Leather sling, 'Cusco Traveler'
By CATHY
I LOVE this bag!
This bag is now my favorite purse! I wanted something I could use daily to remind me of my trip to Peru. It is so well made and looks just like the picture. This isnt a large bag but theres room for a slim wallet, phone, and a few personal items. The additional zippered pocket on the outside is a nice touch - its easily big enough for a cell phone and the adjustable strap completes it. I highly recommend this bag!

Handbags Through History
Prehistoric people used medicine bags, and Egyptian hieroglyphs show pouches carried around the waist. Drawstring coin bags were used by European men from the 12th to the 16th centuries, and the first written mention of handbags dates to the 1300s.
In the 1500s, women began carrying bags of sachet. But pockets worn beneath the skirt remained more popular than purses until dresses began to hug the body in the late 18th century. During the Victorian period, a wide variety of purse styles came into vogue and the term "handbag" was coined in the early 1900s.
By the first part of the 20th century, almost every woman carried a purse. Authentic handbags came into their own during the 1920s with all kinds of styles, colors and materials.
From the 1930s to the 1960s, clutches were a favorite. Practical shoulder bags were introduced during World War II. Today hobos, totes and slings compete with classic leather handbags, mini briefcases and backpack bags.
Among Novica's amazing array of styles and materials are sterling silver evening bags by Ploy Intha. Sending an ecological statement, totes of recycled materials make up Neide Ambrosio's soda pop-top collection and Evani Ribeiro's bags of distressed canvas.
