YOUR HANDBAG – WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT YOU
There’s no need to look into a woman’s eyes if you’re looking for her soul – you just need to look at what she carries around in her handbag!
It would take months of detective work to uncover the same amount of information on who a woman really is, her personality and her lifestyle that a glance at the contents of her handbag exposes. However, with the latest Hollywood trend of ‘bag-pets’ and edgy beauty treatments, it will take a brave person to investigate the treasures of the deep in search of the true meaning of life or love!.
Perennial staples like cosmetics, fragrances, diaries, leather wallets, hair brushes and mirrors are still there in some shape or form but the information age has brought a whole new dimension to handbag contents with the arrival of cellular phones, i-pods and other electronic gadgets. Times have really changed since the 1940s where cigarettes, ration books and gloves were common handbag items and the 1980s where the bulky filofax was a handbag essential. A newspaper in Australia conducted a snap poll of the contents of some celebrities’ handbags to find everyday items such as keys, mobile phones and lip balm nestled among more interesting items like dogs’ clothes and bras!.
And it’s obviously that what’s inside a bag is as important as what’s on the outside. Australian born author Kathryn Eisman spent two years researching her book ‘How to Tell A Woman By Her Handbag’ in which she lists 40 personality types based on handbag analysis. From friendly and fun-loving women who wear bright coloured handbags to more reserved, down-to-earth types with classic leather handbags in neutral tones – the size, shape, colour and vintage of the handbag reveals all.
She also says a peek inside a woman’s handbag is a peek inside her soul. She categorises women into four different types according to the contents of their handbags, creative (organised chaos), prepared (organised and practical), minimal (bare essentials) and expressive (interesting trinkets and random items).
And with rapidly evolving technology and changing fashion, women’s loads are getting lighter. A study by Debenhams, a British department store, indicates that handbags in 2009 were 57% lighter than they were in 2006, weighing in at a mere 1.5kgs. Advances in technology are the predominant reason for this weightloss, with slimline mobile phones, i-pods and blackberries replacing the chunky ‘bricks’ of yesteryear, the heavy PDA.s, filofaxes and diaries that all made for a serious shoulder workout. Fashion forward women are also wearing miniature fashion handbags, slim clutches which means less is the new more.
But little does not mean handbags are not big in other ways. The average value of the contents of a woman’s handbag is around $220 dollars according to one study – comprising mainly cosmetics, leather wallets, cash and a mobile phone
Wouldn’t it be fun to test the theories on yourself and some of your friends?. Get the girls together for a handbag hangout where everyone puts the contents of their bags onto the table and have fun working out the different personality types. Whether they’re into oversized totes which contain everything including the kitchen sink or elegant evening bags with only a designer lipstick and a credit card – it’s bound to be an event that is bags of fun
