A strange little side quest
Between one round of Must Have Hand Bags and the next, this is worth knowing: By the 1890s, department stores and mail-order catalogs were selling mass-produced ready-to-wear clothes in standardized styles and price ranges. The broader history adds one more wrinkle. Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. So a round of Must Have Hand Bags is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer fashion and style timeline.
