Käekott

Käekott is an Estonian word that translates to handbag or purse. It refers to a bag carried by hand or slung over the shoulder, primarily used for personal items. Käekotid come in a wide variety of styles, sizes, and materials, ranging from small decorative clutches to large, practical totes.

Historically, women's handbags evolved from simple pouches to more elaborate and functional accessories. In contemporary society, the käekott serves not only a practical purpose but also as a fashion statement, reflecting personal style and social status. Different types of käekotid include shoulder bags, crossbody bags, tote bags, clutches, and backpacks, each suited for different occasions and needs.

The materials used for käekotid are diverse, including leather, canvas, synthetic fabrics, and even natural fibers like straw. The design often incorporates features such as zippers, clasps, and internal pockets to organize contents like wallets, keys, phones, and cosmetics. The choice of a käekott can be influenced by current fashion trends, the intended use, and individual preferences.
