(English, Bosanski)
By Nerina
In the 14th century, people wore purses underneath
layers of material: under full dresses and skirts. Women used their purses to
carry their sowing items, scented herbs, cosmetics, and jewelry. Purses were
not always considered a “fashion item” but instead were also used to carry
seeds to the plantations.
In the 18th century, small purses became a women’s
must have accessory. Women from the high society owned bags for to complement
their various outfits and used the bags to carry their perfumes.
In the 19th century, fashion changed: dressed
became thinner, tighter, less layered. In another words, women’s wear become
more transparent and purses began to be carried on the wrist. During this time,
and for the first time in the history of fashion, purses become a symbol of
social standing.
Today, just like in the 19th century, purses
remain a sign of status and prestige. The connection between celebrities and
particular design is so strong that some of the most popular bags have been
named after these celebrated women: Jackie O., Birkin, Grace Kelly, Lady Dior,
Sofia, Gisele Bag, etc.
I would love a chance to create a purse and name it after meJ How would your bag
look like? Mine would have a bit of metal, a bit of animal print, and lots of
room.
Today, bags have become an essential part of every woman ensemble,
as well as a highly desired article by many men. 21st century is an
age where bags practically “entice” consumers from online shops/websites (i.e.
Did I just quote the movie Confessions of
a Shopoholic?!)
The choice is difficult: shapes, sizes, brands, types of
material, uses, length of the handle, number of pockets, assortment of
colors…amazing! However, there are couple of difficulties we can encounter on
our journey from “desiring a beautiful bag” to actually “owning a beautiful bag”.
For example, luxury purses can equate to more than 2 monthly pay checks. Other
obstacles include: lack of storage space in your closet and your boyfriend/husband
complaining on how you already own the “same type”.
Today, luckily, nothing was able to stand in the way of me
and two incredibly perfect bags. The first one, and a much-needed kind, is a
black bag with encrusted crystals (as you see, recently, I purchased suede
boots and needed a bag to go along with them). The second one is a small-red-very
compact-square bag with the faux leather (yes, I already own a few red kinds,
but this one is “oh so very cute”)!
Greetings to everyone from Sarajevo!
PS. I am in a hurry to read E.L. James and “all her shades
of gray”. The trilogy was only recently published in my country!

U 14. stoljecu tasne su se nosile ispod slojeva i slojeva
materijala, pod haljinama i suknjama. Zene su u njima nosile pribor za sivanje,
a potom i mirisljave trave, kozmetiku, novac i nakit. Tasne nisu oduvijek
predstavljale modni izricaj, nekada su ih ljudi koristili za nosenje sjemena za
sadjenje na poljima.
U 18. stoljecu male tasne su postale zenski dodatak. Zene iz
visokog drustva posjedovale su tasnicu za svaki outfit i koristile ju za svoje
mirisljave vodice.
U 19 stoljecu moda se izmjenila, haljine su postale tanje,
uze, u manje slojeva, jednom rjecju, polutransparentne pa su se do tada
skrivene tasne preselile na zglobove ruku. U to vrijeme se po prvi put u
historiji mode po tasni odredjivalo koliko visoko se neko kotira na drustvenoj
ljestvici.
U 20. stoljecu, tasna oznacava zensku neovisnost, te od tada
se kroz godine nastavlja modernizirati.
Danas, bas kao i u 19. stoljecu , tasne su jos uvijek znak
prestiza i statusa.
Veza izmedju slavnih zena i odredjenog dizajna tasni je
toliko jaka da su neke od najpopularnijih modela dobili ime upravo po damama:
Jackie O., Birkin, Grace Kelly, Greta, Lady Dior, Sofia, Gisele Bag...
Bilo bi interesantno dizajnirati tasnu i nazvati ju imenom
svojim:) Kako bi vasa tasna izgledala? Moja bi imala malo metala, malo animal
printa i puno prostora:)
Danas, tasna je u zivotu jedne djevojke/zene neizostavan
modni dodatak, te svakako veoma trazen dodatak i od strane muske populacije. 21. stoljece donosi tasne koje vas naprosto
"pozivaju" sa izloga i sa webova online trgovina da ih kupite i
posjedujete. ( o.p. Da li ja to pisem recenicu a la shoppingholicarka?!) .
Izbor je pretezak: oblici, velicine, brend, vrsta
materijala, namjena, duzina rucke, broj dzepica, kombinacija
nijansi......preludo! Medjutim, postoji nekoliko mogucih problema na putu od
zelje do posjedovanja iste, kao npr. preskupa tasna (vise od vase 2 mjesecne
plate), u vasem domu nema vise slobodne police za skladistenje jos jedne
superfullcoolprakticne tasnice , vas dragi vas gleda "pa imas istu takvu"
pogledom :S
Danas, na svu srecu, nista nije uspjelo stati na put izmedju
mene i njih dvije....naprosto savrsene i meni jako potrebne: crni velur posut
blinkajucim cirkonima ( znate, nedavno sam kupila antilopne cizme, pa treba
tasnica neka uz to, a blinkajuci detalji idu uz predstojece NG praznike); i
druga crvena kockastog oblika, imitacija koze, mala, simpaticna i nekako
kompaktna ( daaaa, imam vec nekoliko crvenih, ali ova je bas nekako cute)!
Veliki pozdrav iz malog Sarajeva!
Zurim, na stolu me ceka E.L. James i njene sive ( kod nas je
tek prije mjesec izdata ta triologija) !
