On The Origin Of The Handbag

In 1859, Charles Darwin wrote a book, called "The Origin Of Species". In it, he describes the process of evolution- the gradual change over years, that brought about the various creatures we see today. In effect, what he had written was the general life story of every species, spelt out in such a way that the similarities are clear.

What you may not have considered, however, is that this system of spelling out also applies to other areas. For example, handbags. If you consider the history of each of the major fashion designers, it can be difficult to see any common ground. However, it is not that hard to find a sequence common to all of them. And so, without further ado, I present The Origin Of Handbags!

Begin with a dream. Most of the major labels, such as Chloe, Fendi, or Krizia began with a single woman opening a shop. Of course, not every major label begins this way. Gucci, for example, began with a man opening a shop. Sometimes they sell clothing, sometimes not, but inevitably the founder discovers a sense of fashion.

Shortly after their shop begins to succeed, the founder begins creating new and original fashions. At this point, they have a small shop in a big city, and begin to display their wares. Many people crash and burn here, or simply fail to attract the right attention, but for the soon-to-be major label designer, they quickly draw the attention of the cities fashion-conscious. Here, excellent business sense, and a significant amount of persistence, are needed to lift them to the top.

While occasionally a company struggles for that first public recognition, such as Guess did when trying to get their jeans into shops, as soon as they are discovered by the public they are immediately recognised as great. Within a few short years, the designs they have created are internationally recognised, and they decide to expand the company.

At this point, the handbag enters. The company, being now fairly well known, starts to expand into other areas of fashion, including fashion accessories. Among these, are of course, the handbags. Each individual designer creates their own unique look and style, to match the style of their clothing, and they begin to sell handbags.

Whether you prefer the elegance of Prada, or stand by the classic Diego Rocha, it is indisputable that every designer is quite distinct and individual in their look. While we all need clothes, especially in the rather chilly northern countries, handbags are not quite so necessary. This just means that designers are free to work whatever they wish on them, a blank canvas, if you will. An area to fully unleash their creativity.

Eventually, the founder of the label passes away, and control of the company goes to their children. Sometimes, as did Aldo and Rudolfo Gucci, they fight for control. In other cases, like the descendants of Adele Fendi, they cooperate and work together. Whatever happens, the label itself always stays within the family, and they watch as sales soar.

Finally, the meteoric rise to the top slows to a halt, with numerous awards and international recognition. The label is now famous, and the creative genius of the founder has been recognizes and continued. Look, for example, at Roberto Cavalli - can any other designer claim near his success?

This concludes our review of the Origin of Handbags. As you can see, there really is a simple blueprint, that every great fashion brand follows. Makes you wonder what else might have similar patterns, doesn't it?
