A brief history of Bags


Do you know when was bag first 'invented'? ......

Egyptian hieroglyphs show pouches/bags carried around the waist! The first known example of hieroglyphic writing in ancient Egypt was discovered on bone and ivory tags, pottery vessels and clay seal impressions discovered in a pre-dynastic tomb in Abydos. The deposits are dated to between 3400 and 3200 B.C.
