The Creators of Handbags

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!

First, start with a dream. Almost all of the current major labels, such as Fendi or Chloe, started with a single woman opening a clothing shop. Naturally, of course, not every major designer begins quite the same way. Gucci, for instance, started with a man opening a shop, not a woman. Sometimes they begin by selling clothing, sometimes not, but always the founder discovers an unforeseen sense of fashion within themselves.

Soon after this, the designer begins displaying their creations to the world. They open a small shop in a big city, and occasionally get married. In any case, this is just the start of their journey to the top. At this point, the designer shows excellent business sense and a great deal of persistence.

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.

Whatever style you particularly favour, be it the elegance of Prada or the class of Diego Rocha, you can hardly argue that they are very different, and convey a unique impression. Everyone needs to wear clothes, but handbags are optional, and so are open for whatever incredible inventiveness the artist can devise.

In time, the founder of the company will die, and their children inherit control. In some cases, such as the daughters of Adele Fendi, they cooperate and work together. In others, such as with Aldo and Rudolfo Gucci, they battle each other for the rights to the company. But no matter the internal conflicts, the public still loves them, and sales continue to rise.

Gradually the rapid rose to prominence slows, as they gradually reach a point where they can rise no higher. With uncountable international awards to proclaim their fame, the brand has become a household name. Generally, at this point the name of the creator also achieves a similar level of recognition- for example, consider Roberto Cavalli. Can you think of anyone else, who compares to him?

Thus I finish my review of the origin of the handbag, and the life of the label that creates it. As you've seen, it's a pretty simple blueprint, and really serves to highlight the similarities between the different design companies. Although, I am left to wonder, does anything else share this same similarity?
