The universe of women’s fashion accessories is very vast and the market currently offers us the embarrassment of choice. Among the most popular are bags: small, large, shoulder, backpack, elegant or casual! The only limit is represented by the imagination of those who create them and the tastes of those who then choose them. For special occasions, minaudiere bags are the best you could wish for.
But what kind of bag are we talking about? For which events are they most suitable? And what are the models that are most popular right now?
Let’s clarify this topic in the new post dedicated to fashion and the latest fashion trends, edited by our portal!
Minaudiere bags: how they are made and when to use them
Minaudiere bags are among the smallest bags that can be found on the market. Small yes but not insignificant, on the contrary! With a very similar appearance to that of a clutch bag, the minaudiere bag has a mostly rigid shape and is specifically designed to accompany us during the most important events and the most elegant evenings. It must, of course, be combined with appropriate clothing.
Its name derives from its main “function”: to accompany women during the most important theatrical premieres . Minaudiere , in fact, would translate as “theatrical bag” even if there are those who associate it with the French “minauder” or “coquetry” . In both cases it is always a small bag, ideal for carrying the bare essentials.
But the minaudiere bags are not simple clutch bags of which they recall only the small dimensions. Instead, they are real works of art, a sort of ornamental casket used to enhance even more a beautiful evening dress.
One of the most famous minaudiere ever was shown in Sex and the city by Sarah Jessica Parker: it is a bag signed Judith Leiber , one of the most sought-after brands in the sector currently. Evening bags , therefore, born in the early 1900s but which always have enormous success: very close relatives of the so-called clutches, from which they differ essentially in the closure (usually made by interlocking as was the case for the old purses).
What was the first minaudiere bag to be created?
The first minaudiere bag appeared in the 1930s. Its invention has been attributed to Charles Arpels, of Van Cleef & Arpels, but many jewelers and haute couture stylists have created their own models over the years according to their taste and the fashions that followed each other year after year.
