History of the travel bag

In the middle of the 19th century, the construction of railway lines began to actively develop, and the circle of people who had the opportunity to go on a trip expanded significantly. Demand for inexpensive yet comfortable travel bags is on the rise. It was then that the first bags appeared. The material for their manufacture are carpets, the most common old carpets. These new travel bags are extremely short-lived, but their convenience makes up for this shortcoming.

Over time, the bags have changed. They were sewn from genuine leather. This has led to an increase in the cost of travel bags and a decrease in their availability.

In the history of the United States, the handbag occupies a special place. America’s independence opened wide prospects for hundreds of businessmen who poured in a stream from north to south, buying up production and real estate for next to nothing. They used carpet bags as travel bags, which gave the name to the term «carpetbaggers».

Interesting appearance, convenience and compactness of bags make them more and more popular among people of various professions: businessmen, lawyers, doctors, etc. The wealth of the bag determined the level of success of its owner. Doctors and lawyers used bags made of genuine leather, where there was a place for both numerous tools and important papers.

The 20th century changed the bulky and luxurious outfits of women for practical, comfortable clothes, more in line with the new rhythm of life and the rapid development of technological progress. Such a toilet was perfectly complemented by a reliable, practical and roomy bag. The stylish accessory was in harmony with the new straight silhouettes of the dresses. The modern bag symbolizes travel and adventure. Many writers of the 20th century, traveling in search of inspiration, supplemented the image of their heroes with this particular travel bag.

To protect against theft of valuables, mortise locks are being put on the bags, the keys to which the owners wear around their necks. Over time, the appearance of the accessory also changes. It is complemented by original styles, elegant fittings, a zipper, etc. The appearance of long handles made it possible to carry a bag on the shoulder, made it even more comfortable and turned it into an independent wardrobe item.

How to choose a travel bag in an online store

Going on a trip, most often people choose travel bags on wheels and with a retractable handle. They are quite comfortable and roomy, but completely incapable of emphasizing your style. A travel bag, harmoniously combined with clothes, will perfectly cope with this task.

Seasons and weather conditions are not important for this accessory. By choosing a universal color from shades of black, navy blue and plum palette, you will be able to travel with your bag in summer and winter.

The shape can also be any, but keep in mind that rectangular and square models are not combined with all clothes.

The right choice should be focused on the fact that the bag is only an addition to the style, and not its main part. It is necessary that he only emphasizes the image, and does not draw all the attention. The type, size and texture of this travel bag is selected taking into account the direction of the trip and the time of year. Usually bags are not too roomy, since they are not stuffed to the eyeballs, so only the most necessary items are placed in them.

The direction and mood of the trip determine the look of the chosen bag. For a business trip, a classic style in restrained colors is ideal. Travel and leisure will be decorated with a bright bag of a bizarre shape.

Spaciousness.

When choosing a bag, consider in advance the amount of things for which it will be used.

Color.

The color palette directly depends on the preferences of the owner of the bag in clothes and style. Shades of black and brown are considered a universal option.

To emphasize individuality or complement an unusual wardrobe with an accessory, you need to choose the appropriate bag. Often a bag of contrasting color clothes looks much brighter.

Material.

The most practical material for making a travel bag is genuine leather. An alternative can be a bag made of leather or textile substitute. It is only important to choose high-quality material. The appearance of the product, a pleasant smell, neatly executed lines, good material of the lining of the bag — all this indicates the quality of the bag.

Accessories.

Solid bags are always with fittings made of stainless material. The handle and other elements must be securely fastened, not dangle, and maintain a beautiful appearance throughout the entire period of use of the bag.

Pens.

Handle holder rings are attached to branded bags. Please note that the size of the ring matches the size of the belt. This will help to avoid wearing discomfort due to the belt rolling to the side.

Comfort level.

The comfort of using a travel bag is determined by individual preferences. Ergonomics of the bag, its convenience can be determined by loading it with things and taking it in hand.

The weight.

Note the weight of the empty model. It is better to immediately refuse too heavy options, because after filling their weight will increase even more.
