PURSE Dear friends,
One of the few items whose dimensions are not much changedis purse for gents. The material for purse during olden days was leather. Nowwe have purses in addition made using sponge leather, plastic and fiber. A write up on purse. Sincerely, Gopalakrishnan 29-12-2021 1. Leather bagand purse. Just like a combination, most business men and rich owneda leather bag had a purse also in the same colour in my student days. On thosedays 90% leather bags came in black colour. 10% was in brown colour and theyhad folders. Zip was not there. Metallic closing with adjustment was there inpolished brass. Locking arrangement was also there. One or two day’s luggagecould be carried in it. Mostly it was used by college professors, business menand rich even in my college days. The price was prohibitive even in my collegedays. Purse was mostly in black colour. It had two folders and one pouch andprovision to keep address. Brown colour too appeared later, but purse inleather was costly. 2. Plasticpurses. With the appearance of plastic, plastic purses indifferent colors appeared. This too had two folders, one pouch, and a sidearrangement to keep address. Pouch was used to keep changes. Mostly when we went to purchasea purse, plastic purse was shown. When we desired better quality merchantsshowed leather type and Himalayan price was told. They pushed plastic purses. 3. Spongeleather purse. Sponge leather purses appeared by 1970’s. It came inother colors also like yellow, violet, green etc. They have more appearance comparingto plastic purses. Often leather and sponge leather were confused, somemerchants used to sell sponge leather as pure leather. 4. Zip andadditional folders. Sponge leather purses and plastic purses started toappear with more folders. They had zips. Rarely with zips leather purses also appeared.But rare. 5. Provision ofadditional folders By 1995’s Debit cards and credit cards startedappearing. Provision to keep them appeared in purses. 6 Student purses Mostly student purses were plastic. Rarely in spongeleather. Merchant purses had provision to keep a small notebook in the purse,sometimes it was stitched to it. 7. Hand bags Many started using small hand bags for journeys. Pursecontained small amount and used in local trips. 8. Theft ofpurse If the shirt was tucked inside pants, purse eitherkept in back pocket or side pocket was liable for theft. Similarly in shirtpockets. As a remedy, in shirts inner pockets and in pants also inner pocket (pocketwith in pocket) was introduced in one side. Purse wouldtightly go in inner pocket or inside pocket. 9. Purse ascompliment It is common to provide purse with money ascompliment. Leather purse is complimented. The shops provide gift packs in an excellentcarton with finishing outside. Without any further covering it can becomplimented 10 Ladiespurses Ladies purses are mostly in fiber, plastic or specialfabric with inside PVC. They come in different sizes, with one or two zips asdesired. Mostly jewel shops givecomplimentary purses to women. But inner zip arrangements in purse are availablein those purchased from shops only 11. Pricedifference The same quality of purse may vary in price indifferent shops. In bag shops a leather purse costing 350-00 may cost 500-00 infancy stores and Rs. 1000-00 in Bata shop. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
