By JEMEDARI MWANAWAKIUME

Handbags are like our BFFs. We take them with us everywhere we go.

But did you know that the big bags we carry nowadays were not always the chic looking bags that they are today?

Perhaps the best video yet by Mode’s 100 Years Of Style, we see the bags evolving in terms of designs, shape, size and fabric used to make them; from tiny bags, made of lace and other colorful fabrics to the leather bags we currently know of.

What’s even more interesting is the evolution of the bag contents. Throughout the years, the handkerchief has evolved in terms of patterns, we also see women beginning to put makeup on as we inch towards the 80s and listening to music by carrying radio tapes, we also see them becoming more independent as the years go by, by carrying money, car keys, attending concerts, taking photographs and becoming more fashion forward by wearing sunglasses and carrying designer perfumes.
