While handbags and purses have been worn by all genders for...basically ever..200 years ago the reticule changed how western society viewed the handbag. No longer was a bag or purse used by everyone, now a reticule or handbag was for women only, to hold our growing makeup collection, money, and other things we needed to function in our day to day life. It wasn't until the past 30 years that men realized - oh hey these bags are super handy - that some men started to carry, much to the discomfort of others, "man bags" or "murses".

So yeah...let's talk about the recent history of the handbag - starting from the reticule of the 1790s to the murse of today.
