Bags will always be great obsessions of a woman. She treats them as precious possessions that call for their own pamper-me times (oh hello, leather cleaning!). While bags can be reckoned as mere indulgences, do you know that they can likewise reveal something about you?
I came across How to Tell a Woman by Her Handbag penned by Kathryn Eisman. Her
witty book aims to uncover what bags tell about their carriers - from the
satchel-clutching corporate women to the Hermes-carrying heiress. In Eisman’s
view, these bags say something about their owners:
Slouchy, oversized bags
Women who opt to have these bags are practical and always on the move. They are suckers for impromptu escapades, that’s why it is essential for them to have a roomy compartment for their things – make-up kit, medicines, rollable flats, and gadgets. It is also rare for wearers to swap bags.
Bright
handbags
Instead
of going with the flow, they love to stand out by showing their cheery
personality. In a sea of neutrals and monotones, they are the ones who are
unafraid of experimenting. A bright handbag is an indication of a sunny
disposition which is a magnet for friends.
Structured
bags
Think
of Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn. They are always in the midst of business
meetings and coffee dates. Women who are fond of structured bags are attached
to all things classic. Outlandish trends make them squirm. Whether they’re
shopping for bags or clothes, they prefer sticking to simple classy pieces
which they can use until they’re old.
Studded
and/or buckled bag
Damsels
who are fascinated with heavily embellished bags love to unleash their
confident side. They do not mind having an appeal reminiscent of a femme fatale. They are always
geared up for a good time.
Clutches
Clutches
represent femininity with a dash of functionality. Since they do not want to
roam around carrying so many things, wearers are believed to be straightforward.
The
Louis Vuitton bag
Women
carrying their precious LVs are idealists at heart. While they are always
yearning for things that will make their lives extraordinary, they also place
great emphasis on loyal friendships. LV
