Can you express your political position with the totes and handbags you carry? This year, you certainly can!
It's a season of politics in the United States this year. The presidential elections are underway, and citizens throughout the country want to show their political positions as well as their patriotism. Handbag designers have added to the excitement with a lively range of totes and handbags. There will lots of choice available in totes and handbags this year, whether you prefer classic styles or enjoy a bit of whimsy.
Celebrity designer Timmy Woods has a line of patriotic handbags that would be fun to carry this year. Her 'Bipartisan' bag shows the party symbols of the elephant and the donkey fused together, a real image of the two-party system. Her 'America' bag, shaped like the map of the United States, is reminiscent of the vigor of the 1950s.
Woods' 'Eiffel Tower' bag was carried by Sarah Jessica Parker the film 'Sex and the City'. Everybody wants to carry that bag. In fact, you can rent on from Bag, Borrow, or Steal for a month or a week. I wonder if they'll be leasing political totes and handbags this summer?
If you're a fervent admirer of one special candidate, you can carry totes and handbags showing the candidate's face.
Recently, clutch handbags and bucket totes with photos of Clinton, Obama, or McCain on them were offered by SnapTotes. The company even donated 25% of each bag's proceeds to the candidate's campaign. Even though that offer is now over, you can still order totes and handbags printed with any photo you choose -- even one of your favorite politician!
What could be more more fun than politics!
Some totes and handbags mirror -- or even enhance -- political power. Look at Margaret Thatcher, for example. During her years as Prime Minister of the UK, the purses she carried were her emblem. Her bags served as a symbol power.
Thatcher always used her bags for the greatest dramatic effect. "I think her handbag - which she carried with her all the time - became a symbol of modern government and authority by keeping all kinds of tactically useful documents and facts in it," said her former press secretary, Sir Bernard Ingham. In one interview, she once commented that her handbag was the only safe place in Downing Street.
"She cannot see an institution without hitting it with her handbag..." said a 1982 article in the Times. This use of a handbag has been memorialized in the Oxford English Dictionary: ''To handbag: transitive verb (of a woman politician), treat (a person, idea etc.) ruthlessly or insensitively.''
In a 2000 online auction, one of Baroness Thatcher's Salvatore Ferragamo purses brought in 100,000 for charity. "My handbags did good service in Cabinet and I am pleased they are still having the right effect," Thatcher said. Now that is a real political handbag!! - 15246
