Men joked for a long time at ladies' bags, discussing that in them you can find all four volumes of War and Peace, a screwdriver, and breakfast for the whole family. Over time, of course, they did not stop laughing, but decided to perpetuate this accessory. About ten cities in the world boast monuments to a women's handbag. Where are these monuments, what is their difference from each other. Let's try to figure it out.
Where is the monument to the handbag?
The most famous monument dedicated to the ladies' accessory appeared relatively recently. In 2013, a women bag was immortalized by a sculptor from Spain. The girl who literally plunged into her purse with her head immediately fell in love with the viewer. Photo of the monument circled the entire Internet.
Initially, the sculpture was made specifically for the street exhibition “Thoughts. Space". Now, with this exhibit, any tourist who visited the province of Cuneo in Piedmont (Italy) can be photographed. It is there that she lives now.
However, this is not the only monument to the handbag. Where are the other monuments:
- The facade of the Dior store in Manhattan in New York can be called a monument. Here it is very symbolic that the whole fashion boutique is located in the ladies' accessory.
- In Brussels, we can see an elderly lady with a purse and bag.
- In the Australian metropolis - in Melbourne.
Also on the Internet, a photograph walks where straps are put on large stones. Unfortunately, it is difficult to say where the monument to the women’s handbag is located in this case. However, a similar monument adorns the resort town of Berdyansk. True, this monument is dedicated to tourists who rest in Zaporozhye.
Is there a similar monument in Russia?
In our country, a women's accessory has also come to the attention of sculptors. Where is the monument to the handbag in Russia?
As such, there is no monument dedicated to a female hand bag. But there are monuments where it plays an important role:
- In Krasnodar. In the south of our country you can find a wallet made of red granite. It is believed that if you sit on it, then in a real wallet money will be found.
- In Yekaterinburg, you can find a monument to the buyer. On it, a tired man carries at least five bags, bags from stores, and a woman puts one new purchase in one of them.
By the way, in Moscow in 2013, a real scandal broke out because of a woman’s handbag. On Red Square, the Louis Vuitton Pavilion was built as a women's accessory. The creators planned to make it the premises of the charity biennale. At it, the public wanted to present bags that celebrities owned and used at different times. However, the pavilion split the public into two parts, people were indignant, and they removed the “handbag” from the main Moscow square.
Other monuments dedicated to this accessory
Where else is the monument to the handbag? It turns out that in neighboring Belarus we should pay attention to at least two monuments. In Gomel, a bronze student Tatyana sits, and next to her lies a women's accessory. And at the station Molodechno confident walk is a girl with a travel bag on wheels.
In Ukraine, in the city of Sumy, there is a fountain monument dedicated to the bag. It has been operating in the city since 2008. It is believed that more than 4 centuries ago it was here that they found 3 Cossack bags of money, on which the city was founded. Of course, there is no evidence that these were handbags, but who else could lose such valuable things?
