Purses are handbags that are carried
mostly by women. These are used mainly to carry money, keys, and
other personal items. Most women carry purses when they venture
out of their houses.
There is a large variety of purses used by women. There are
those made of artificial leather with exquisite designs
available at designer stores.
These have a high cost value.
Each piece is custom made and there is no other piece made the
same or even similar. |
Handmade purses are also popular among
women. Many of the smaller towns have small-scale industries where a few
people make handmade fabric purses using the expertise of the hand
rather than any machines. This has also provided livelihood to numerous
women in various regions of India; especially those living in rural
areas.
The handbags made by hand are made from various fabric and material such
as cotton, jute, silk, satin, raw silk, carpet and rugs, wool, etc. Some
are embroidered or handpainted or printed. Others may have patch work
done on them. Beads or other decorative articles can be used to make
these purses look exclusive.
No doubt, the finished product would have the expertise of its creator
etched on it. Boutique handmade purses can also be customized for the
requirement of the client. Color and material of the purse can be
selected by the client. If the buyer wishes, she can also specify a
particular traditional design.
The purses and bags made be hand are available in separate sections at
malls. Apart from that certain NGOs working towards the upliftment of
women assign jobs to rural women who create bags and then sell them in
the urban market, thereby providing them with a constant income.
To obtain such purses it is preferable to visit local shops that direct
people who design and make purses. Before placing an order for a purse,
it is necessary to see some of the designer's sample finished products.
