<p>The present invention relates to bags, particularly handbags, and more particularly but not exclusively decorative bags, comprising a housing defining a storage chamber. An embodiment describes a modular bag system for providing personal reconfigurable bag or bags, the system comprising at least one housing portion (12, 14, 16), wherein each housing portion (12, 14, 16) of the modular bag system has ends provided with attachment means (38,40) such that any one housing portion (12, 14, 16) can be attached to any other housing portion (12, 14, 16) in an end-to-end linear manner allowing a continuous sequence of connected housing portions (12, 14, 16), such that each housing portion (12, 14, 16) can be attached to one other housing portion (12, 14, 16) (defining a terminal housing portion) or to two others (defining an interior housing portion), and wherein the attachment means (38, 40) are releasable enabling separation and a subsequent re-attachment of the housing portions (12, 14, 16) to one another, wherein the housing portions (12, 14, 16) when attached are capable of forming a common storage chamber, allowing the storage space provided by the modular bag system to be expandable, by the addition of further housing portions (12, 14, 16) having releasable attachment means (38, 40), and wherein each housing portion (12, 14, 16) is capable of forming an individual storage unit when not attached to another housing portion (12, 14, 16), allowing the modular bag to be deconstructed into a plurality of smaller bags each made from one or more housing portions (12, 14, 16).</p> |
