Armbags are an item of fashion that have spread around the [Federation] since the 2380s. They originate to a small world most known for its influence on Federation fashion, Vesta II.

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. These designs consist of two “bracelets” at which the textile is fixed. Both kinds of armbags can be opened and closed either by a zip-line or some other sort of closure. Depending the size of the armbag it can provide either enough space for cosmetics, small Data-PADDs, latinum bars and many other things or can only contain one or two things.

Armbags are absolutely not designed for women. In fact, originally men started to wear them and women adopted this useful and in some cases very beautiful object of fashion.
