Handbags – The Dangers
Health and safety guidelines for leather handbags!? Sounds extreme? Perhaps, but just think of all the dangers that might arise carrying leather handbags.

Office Politics
Just about every female in the world has a bag of some kind – leather handbags, fabric holdalls, strappy satchels – and if they work in an office, chances are it will be lying directly in your path. Crossing the office to make a cup of tea can be a potential tripping minefield. Dodging leather handbags, leaping over rucksacks and getting your ankles tangled in a misplaced strap can be a serious health and safety issue.

Dancing around the handbag
It’s a cliché that girls from a particular English county like to dance around their handbags. The danger here isn’t the odd mistimed dance move that could lead to a nasty pile up if someone trips on a bag strap. No, the real danger is that if you have beautiful leather handbags or designer brands, somebody could spill their Bacardi and coke over it.

Overloading
It’s tempting to scoop up every household item before you leave the house and squeeze it into your handbag. You never know, you might need that spare pair of tights or cozy cardigan if the wind picks up. But the downfall of being able to carry everything you desire around with you is you could overload. Investing in good quality leather handbags mean this sturdy material will endure the ravages of overuse.

Forget the gym – carry leather handbags
The other danger of overloading leather handbags is the increased weight. Many women can end up with serious head and neck aches and injuries if they routinely sling leather handbags that weight more than a case of beer across their shoulders. Physiotherapists are keen to encourage women to at least alternate shoulders when they carry their leather handbags around to avoid any aches and pains.

Handbags and theft
Of course one of the problems of carrying beautiful, stylish leather handbags around is they can catch the eye of not just envious women, but thieves. Although it might be tempting to swing your overloaded handbag at your assailer, it’s important that if you are a victim of crime you should never fight back or chase after the mugger – remember, no matter how valuable the contents of leather handbags are or how much you love the bag itself – nothing is as important as your life.
