Description
- Handbags are a commonly used by individuals to transport a variety of personal items, including such things as cell phones, Blackberries, PDA's, wallets, identification, money, credit cards, glasses, and cosmetics. The use of a handbag has become a necessary element that is incorporated into the daily activities of many people.
- Handbags have been designed in a wide variety of styles and designs. A variety of different colors and types of handbags may be required by a user of a handbag depending upon the occasion and the attire of the person using the handbag. It is common for users to possess a variety of handbags to cover a variety of situations. When having multiple handbags, the user needs to transfer items between handbags. Depending on the nature the uses, all or a portion of the contents of a bag may be changed. Unless all items in a handbag are transferred there is a risk that a needed item may be left in a bag which was previously used.
- In the past inventors have attempted to solve these problems in a variety of ways. Kery (U.S. Pat. No 3,957,099) teaches a bag with a cover flap having a canvas on which needlepoint can be used to decorate the flap. Keebler (U.S. Pat. No. 4,027,710) teaches a handbag where the sides are made of multiple moveable layers which are hinged at the bottom of the handbag. The colors of the handbag are changed by moving layers from one side of the handbag to the other, exposing different layers. Fleming (U.S. Pat. No. 4,171,717) teaches a handbag where the color of the exterior surface can be changed by use of a roll of material of varying colors or designs. The material is wound between two spools and a particular section of the material can be displayed by moving the material between the spools.
- Sturgeon (U.S. Pat. No. 4,300,609) teaches an interchangeable and reusable handbag kit where one can insert one of several pouches into a single frame. Friedman (U.S. Pat. No. 4,368,767) also teaches a pocketbook with a removable pouch attached to a frame. Byers (U.S. Pat. No. 5,503,204) teaches a handbag with interchangeable closure flaps. Davis et al (U.S. Pat. No. 5,881,787) teaches a purse with a replaceable ornament which is fixed to a magnet and held in place by a magnet on the purse. Steinhart (U.S. Pat. No. 5,911,262) teaches a handbag made of an inner handbag containing within an outer shell. The inner handbag can be moved between outer shell of different colors and designs. Restivo (U.S. Pat. No. 6,129,126) teaches a handbag with a replaceable decorative panel which can be changed with panels of other colors or patterns.
- Salz (U.S. Pat. No. 6,186,201) teaches a handbag with an outer shell and a removable inner bag, which allows the user to change the color or style of the handbag by moving the inner bag to a different shell without disturbing the contents of the inner bag. Pinti (U.S. Pat. No. 6,220,318) teaches a purse with a dry erasable panel on which a user can draw a design, or affix decorative materials. A transparent cover overlays the panel. Ritch (U.S. Pat. No. 6,820,664) teaches a portable bag, such as a handbag, which has an inner pocket for carrying articles and an exchangeable outer cover. The outer cover has a fastener which engages a fastener on the inner pocket.
- These attempts to provide the consumer with handbags with various methods of changing the appearance of the handbag limit the creativity in designing handbags in that the changes that can be made generally involve color or patterns, or a combination thereof. Many of the methods require the replacement of the outer layer, requiring users to make new purchases for each new look they wish to create.
- Therefore, a need exists for a handbag where the exterior of the handbag can be adapted to meet the users changing requirements in style and color while providing a system which minimizes the risk of misplacement of the contents by not having to transfer the contents between bags and not having to buy many bags.
- The invention relates to handbags, specifically to handbags with interchangeable pieces to change the appearance of the handbag.
- Accordingly, the present invention is directed to customizable handbags and attachable articles to alter the appearance of a handbag that substantially obviates one or more of the problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art. An object of the present invention is to provide a customizable handbag and attachable articles that alter the appearance of the handbag which can be easily utilized by consumers.
- Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the written description and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.
- It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.
- Accordingly, several objects and advantages of this invention are:
- (a) To provide a unique method of customizing handbags;
- (b) To provide handbags which are functional and have a pleasing aesthetic presentation;
