Bakelite, an early form of plastic, revolutionized the handbag industry in the early to mid-20th century due to its durability, versatility, and affordability. Used primarily for handles, clasps, and embellishments, bakelite added a touch of modernity and style to handbag designs while offering a lightweight alternative to traditional materials like metal or wood.
Bakelite's popularity peaked during the Art Deco period, with its bold colors and geometric shapes complementing the sleek, streamlined aesthetic of the era's fashion.
