Leather goods

The term “ leather goods ” covers several realities. Originally, the word "leather goods" comes from the word "morocco" which refers to leather from the skins of goats and goats whose tanning was invented in Morocco.

In the manufacture of leather goods, you will find not only cork bags ( man or woman , girl ), pocket items, travel items but also trimming items (office items , cases , boxes ), watch straps and belts
By extension, “leather goods” have been designated as all small objects : bags , boxes, wallets , purses , etc. Today, the term leather goods is used to designate objects that were once made of leather ; these same objects are nowadays indifferently made of all materials: leather, cork , fabrics .

Little History of the Handbag !

Blacksmiths used holdalls , nuns and monks wore chaplains , while ladies of high society sported elaborately decorated purses . At the time, small drawstring bags were very popular and if some - especially men working outside - preferred to carry leather bags , it was especially canvas or fabric bags that were popular.

Purse , Purse , Bougette , Aumonière , Réticule , Pochette , Fourreau , Minaudière .. whatever the name given to it, the handbag is above all a practical object.

  After the invention, at the end of the 18th century, of inside pockets for trousers , the handbag became the sole privilege of women . This is no longer the case today: the male sex also has its procession of bags for targeted uses: bags for sport , the city, professionals , etc...

This is how the form and use of this cult object has evolved over the centuries and fashions .
