    The world evolves into an unprecedented level of human activities that instantaneously directed towards a desired personal way of cozy life. Along with our complex race towards comfortable living, we often fail to appreciate the small things that surround us. We usually dream of something BIGGER, bigger house, bigger lawn to play with, bigger working space and even bigger name in the industry where we are working with. Yet, as this yearning of something BIG unfolds right in-front of us, we then soon realize the hidden beauty of its contrary- the smaller ones.

     To date, handbags are among one of the most carried things of a person globally. And as we journey back to the origin of this so-called “bag”, some historians would say that it started as early as 14th century in Egypt as a status symbol in the society, and a derivative of a man’s wealth. As time went by, bags of the 14th Century evolved not just a status emblem but as an immediate necessity of humans most especially to those of travelers. Ranging from several sizes and orientations, bags then became a Pseudo-Shadow of a person especially to ladies. In today’s fad, ladies usually are bound to have this stuff depending on the following: a.) Their attire, b.) The event that they are attending with and c.) The things that they are going to contain. Doing the contrary of what is socially expected in terms of choosing a proper bag is considered to be a ‘Crime of Fashion’. Bags therefore are the essential element of fashion and it continues to exude its original purpose in ancient times.

    The dawn of the 21st century, marks the infamous evolution of bag along with the technological breakthroughs that shaped its designs. For laptop owners for instance, they do have specialized bag to protect their gadget from shock and breakage. Some were having a multi-purpose bag fit for transporting notebook, cell-phones and other gadgets that they wanted to bring along at all times. Now that these electronic gadgets are becoming smaller and smaller, it is also expected that the sizes of bags needed in carrying them will likewise experience the same fate. Thus, in this modern era, small bags will surely dominate the industry.

     While these small bags will soon claim its supremacy over the business arena, it will ultimately gain its full momentum of dominance as the global concern of Climate Change becomes more evident. Remember that every year, in the United States alone, not less than 200 million tons of garbage is generated and our used bags could be one of those trash. As this solid waste management issue pushes on, a drastic action will soon be called for not only in the U.S. but globally. Thus, by simply minimizing the size of bags, we can surely help in alleviating the problem of solid waste without jeopardizing the line of industry. In sum, these small bags can therefore be considered as element of fashion, status symbol and more importantly a reminder of our responsibility towards mother earth. By choosing the right small bag, you can absolutely make a Big difference.
