The primitive people used self-made sacks and sheets in which they carried their belongings, plants collected in the forest or hunted animals. Along with the development of trade saddlebags, bundles and panniers became popular, as well as smaller, handy sachets for money and bags for tools and bags for sewing accessories. It was not until the 18th century that handbags have become a typical feminine addition to the outfit, serving not only a functional but also decorative function.
