The Miche Handbag – Style And Usability
After perhaps ten centuries and millions of purse creations, Miche Bag has ultimately solved the age-old conflict with the traditional trio of purse purposes: (1) function, versus (2) status and (3) fashion. Function, the first purse purpose, refers to “carrying stuff.” People have been creating ways to carry their stuff with them for as long as they have had stuff to carry. Way back in the 12th century, men had little pouch purses around their wastes to hold their coins and things. (Females ostensibly didn’t need these because they didn’t have wealth.)
Throughout history, males have used some sort of handbag whenever they wanted to. In recent time, such as the last few centuries, men have typically avoided using purses by possessing a plentitude of wonderfully deep pockets; however, whenever pockets were inadequate, the briefcase (another type of purse, really) took over. Women also have pockets, of course-having used them quite successfully in the 17th century when dresses were baggy enough to hide huge independent handbag-like pockets-but not so successfully since then because of much tighter clothing. Modern female pockets don’t usually handle much more than a tissue. Purses have had many different names and have been designed and created in every conceivable style, shape, size, and material for every possible need imagined.
A purse’s second function is fashion. It’s easy to think of this as a fairly new phenomenon, but that would be wrong. People of ancient times cared about fashion as well-even men. In the 18th century, women generally owned a collection of purses for coordinating with their wardrobe-a fashion trend that was driven by fashion magazines (even back then). Purses, as fashion accessory, have been enhanced by beautiful things: from the 12th century jewels to beads, sequins, knitting, leather tooling, embroidery, cross stitching and other adornments of this past century. Today’s purses are still very much being used as fashion accessories.
A purse’s third function is status symbol. Again, it might seem logical to think of this function as a recent development, but again we’d be wrong. Status has attended the most richly adorned handbags since their beginnings and currently it attends the purses with the higher price tags and certain name brands.
Miche Bag is the newborn of purse concepts, being birthed in 2007. Women have historically had to transfer their contents from one purse to another on a regular basis, depending on their preference for fashion and status-thus bringing fashion and status in conflict with function. (This process of transferring contents is dysfunctional, annoying, and time-consuming.) Miche Bag has now solved this age-old conflict while also allowing more women to affordably gain more status and fashion. Miche offers a designer-quality purse system with one interior piece holding all of the contents, and as many stylish, fashionable exterior pieces as women desire, each one changeable in three seconds or less. Miche is a revolutionary means for women to have it all: function, fashion, and status.
