Armbags are an item of fashion that have spread around the Federation since the 2380s.
Description
Most armbags are formed either like a cylinder or like a cone. They are usually made from textile or leather. Some armbags have a metal-framework which is fixed to the forearm by two rings that keep the construction stable. Those frames can consist of a variable number of arches running from the elbow to the wrist. In order to make the forearm appear more natural the arches can be folded.
Other designs make no use of arches at all. They are usually more flexible due to more elastic textile being used. These designs consist of two rings placed at the elbow and at the wrist to keep the textile between. Both designs can be opened and closed either by a zip-line or other sorts of closure.
Origin&History
Vesta II joined the Federation in 2355 when it started travelling with Warp speed. Very soon the Vestari noticed that their range of technology is far behind Federation standards. But since their planet has stayed untouched by industry and there was almost no pollution at all, it became a paradise for tourists very soon. Much like Risa they decided to offer a holiday world and buy the Federation's technology. But Vesta II did not drop all of its industry. Some very traditional branches of industry stayed part of economy. Amongst these was the production of what the Vestari called armbags.
With more and more tourists coming to Vesta II, some of them liked the idea of armbags very much. Since the early 2360s, armbags were worn in other parts of the Federation, too. But it was not until the late 70s, when the tourists started to buy larger amounts of armbags for their relatives. One decade later, other worlds had to start produce armbags because the traditional production on Vesta II reached its limits. In the beginning, Vestari tailors were asked for assistance, but very soon some tailors started experimenty of their own with the concept of armbags.
Usage
Depending on its size the handbag can provide either enough space for cosmetics, small Data-PADDs, latinum slips and many other things or can only contain one or two things. Armbags were originally worn by men but later women adopted this item and started to use armbags, too. At the time, Federation tourists spread armbags in the whole Federation, it was worn by mean and women alike.
