Purse Basics

A purse is a bag used to carry wallets, money, credit cards and other important items. Purses are available in many different styles and materials and can be worn either by hand or on the shoulder. Some purses have compartments to help keep things organized.

A woman’s purse is her personal property and should be kept safe from theft. A purse can be made of leather, silk, nylon or another material. Some purses have pockets to keep small items, such as lip balm, keys or a cell phone, secure. A woman may also have a handbag and a clutch in her closet for occasions that call for a more formal appearance.

Purse Design

Designer purses are made to be both fashionable and functional, making them a popular accessory for women. Becoming a handbag designer requires developing a unique style, understanding construction and fabrics and being able to market your creations.

Whether you’re looking for a new purse to wear or are a designer interested in selling your designs, it is important to take the time to set up quality photoshoots. This will allow you to get quality pictures of your bags being worn by models and in aesthetic locations. These photos can be used to promote your line and showcase your product in the best light possible.

Founded by sisters Jittrinee Kaeojinda and Pipatchara Kaeojinda, the bag brand Pipatchara uses macrame to create jobs in Thailand. Their collections include a belt bag — a more stylish fanny pack, and tote bags that are perfect for everyday use. A few of their more unique offerings include the Chic Like Candy Beaded Bag, which is crafted from vintage-like lucite beads and features a tortoise shell color.
