Video: 100 Years of Handbags

What did you carry in your handbag 10 years ago? Do you remember a time before cellphones were ubiquitous? Do you remember the pager?

The evolution of your handbag and it’s contents are geniusly shown in this video by Mode. Even the music is matched to the times. Watch as the handbag begins its 100 year journey as a handmade delicate satchel to become the heavy durable leather bags carried today.

What I enjoyed most is watching the changing accessories of women from white gloves and handkerchiefs of 100 years ago to the tech gadgets we carry today. Though I’d have to say, one thing doesn’t change: women carrying makeup! Enjoy.

Trivia: Guess when the house key shows up. Very interesting. What did people do before the house key?
