International Handbag Day, celebrated on October 10th each year, honors the iconic accessory that has transcended its utilitarian purpose to become a symbol of fashion, status, and personal expression. The handbag’s evolution can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where both men and women used pouches to carry their essentials. However, it wasn’t until the 19th century that handbags became a predominantly female accessory, evolving into the stylish and functional designs we see today.
