...risqué. As #CarolineCox notes in Bags: An Illustrated #History:

These early 👉#handbags were also daring, one of the first examples of underwear as outerwear—and thus for many a rather absurd affectation.👈 The idea of 👉a woman parading her personal belongings in a visible pocket was an act akin to lifting up her skirts and publicly revealing her underwear.👈"

Hm, so the final re-entroduction of the #ManBag is only risqué for #Scotsmen, I see...

It took about 2,000 years for men to gain equality, 😁

Below: Quite entertaining #History of the #handbag. 1)

#Handbags for women only came en vogue in the 1790's:

"The first handbags were essentially women’s pockets with handles attached to them, but women’s pockets, because they were worn under a woman’s skirts and close to her skin, were considered undergarments. So, 👉when bags for women first became popular, many viewed them as vulgar or...

Women's Museum of California · The History of the Handbag - Women's Museum of CaliforniaBags are not a new invention, as long as humans have had items to carry, we have created bags in which to carry them. As early as 38,000 BCE, hunter-gatherer, humans were using bundles and pouches made from fibers to store and transport food and tools. The drawstring purse was worn dangling from a belt by both men and women from at least the time of Ancient Rome to the Renaissance and beyond. The woman’s handbag as we know it, however, is a much more recent development in the long, humble history of the bag.

Wairoa, 1964
Street scene outside the Wairoa tavern. Four young Maori men are standing outside the tavern, leaning against the wall. Two young Maori women walk past them down the street, carrying their handbags and a shopping bag.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an urban street scene. In the foreground, two young women are walking side by side; one dressed in a light-colored dress with gloves, holding shopping bags, while the other wears a patterned knee-length skirt and high-heeled shoes carrying what appears to be a small bag or purse. Behind them stands four Maori men leaning against a wall of an establishment labeled "Lounge." The building features ornate windows and signage indicating it is associated with beauty services. One man has his hand raised, possibly signaling for attention or making a point in conversation among the group. The street appears to be part of a commercial area with visible signs suggesting businesses like eateries nearby. There's an air of casual leisure as people engage in daily activities on this city sidewalk during what seems like daytime based on lighting conditions and shadows cast upon the pavement.
