HerI wanted to create an elegant handbag that fits easily under the arm, like a baguette, which the French also carry home after buying it in a bakery. Such a bag will come in handy for a lady who went to a social event. On the one hand, she needs a bag to put her lipstick in, and on the other hand, she needs to free her hands to carry on a conversation and hold a glass of champagne.

Flap bag
The history of the creation of this model of a handbag also belongs to a woman and she was guided by approximately the same desire - to remove the ever-interfering handbag from a woman's hands and place it on her shoulder. This woman was Coco Chanel, who in 1955 presented to the public a small envelope bag with a small handle, closed with a flap. Today, many brands produce such small handbags, but the classic is still a Chanel model made of stitched leather with a chain handle and a house logo on the clasp.
