Created in 2013 by Purseblog, a blog that follows the fashion and handbag industry, Handbag Day recognizes the importance of handbags in daily life and in fashion, and acknowledges that a handbag is not only an essential item in a person’s closet, but is also a simple way to make a style statement.

The unofficial holiday encourages people to share pictures of their handbags and show their love for this fashion accessory on social media websites.

How to Celebrate?

  • Go out and get that high-end handbag you have been eyeing the whole year.
  • Is your handbag a place where things go in to get lost? Perhaps today is the time to clean it out and organize it.

Did You Know…

…that in the early 1900s, handbag was a term used to refer to men's hand baggage?
