dressing of a ladies gives stability to
their frame. In fact, handbag especially
designer adds royal touch and grace to the
one carrying it. Also, handbags are emblems
of affluence and prosperity for some women.
We see women carrying handbags everywhere
they go without knowing what is in the bag.
However, beyond this, women carry handbags
for different reasons. For some, it is to
show class while for some others, it has
simply become part of a dress code. Still
for some others, it is to carry some
valuables that might come hardy in the
course of the day.
Lady’s could be very strict and secretive.
To know a lady, you need to take a look at
what she carries in her handbag, but mind
you, some ladies will do everything humanly
possible to prevent you from touching not to
talk of opening their bags.

again showcase the positive attributes of
Nigerian woman, elegance, poise, talent,
intelligence as well as beauty”.
Chief Sholeye equally emphasized that “Miss
