Big Bags for Women are in Fashion



Every year, women’s handbags are becoming heavier and heavier. As the researchers have ascertained, the weight of the bags contents increased for 38% and is about 2.5 kg.


According to experts, within the decade it could reach 3 kg. Experts believe that it is the result of the technical progress. All new-fashioned toys such as PDAs and communicators women prefer to have in their carryalls. The daughters of Eve put into their accessories, where there’s only so much room in, the charger for the mobile and even laptop computer besides cosmetics bag, umbrella and hair brush, The Daily Mail writes.Designers chose not to leave women alone with this problem – in the current season gigantomania for the accessories is in fashion. The bags significantly increased in size. The brand-director Fiona Lambert says: “Women constantly complain that modern life has become a heavy burden for them. We now understand they are right. We are surprised at how quickly the weight of bags has grown. Weight bearing that sustain women doubles because of pressure of the belt on the shoulder while walking.”“Women can be compared with workers at a construction site, lugging cement. Increasing of the weight means that the accessories are carried on the shoulders, not in hands. And large bags become more and more popular,” – she added.



Meanwhile, surgeons and manual therapeutists have noticed the growth of women injuries related to heavy bags’ carrying. The therapeutist Tim Hutchful notes: “The risk of heavy bags is not only that because of them one could get a serious injury – carrying weights could have serious consequences in the future. As a result, we see the growth of complaints from women about pains in back.”However, not all share the scepticism of physicians. The consultant in the department of bags, John Lewis market, notes: “Big bags are in fashion. For example, sales of Mulberry bags increased for 10%. Radley bags also are popular. But the bags with a large number of pockets in which women can place all they want to take with them are sold best of all.”
