Have You Ever Wondered How Travel Luggage Came To Be?

If we look carefully, we would realize that travel backpacks and designer handbags all could trace their roots to man’s nomadic nature!

Something which may require a deeper investigation, is the development of “carrying stuff” - yes, the first travel luggage. In most cases, the items utilized to transport other things wherever man travels, could reasonably be viewed as among the ancient “machines.”

This is what I am trying to explain. Every time we adults try to put a depiction of what makes one thing to be a machine to the younger ones, the basic characteristics are (1) a thing that makes an action or work “easier” to perform; and (2) “faster” to carry out. The early luggage bags and sacks should decidedly qualify for the mentioned features!


The use of different types of primitive machines and tools has given birth to at least two different groups of masses. The first decides to stay, while the other group moves to other domains.

The people who opted to remain made and started an array of practices, of methods, for the use of biological resources. The next matter happens; these settlers are even disjointed into contending crowds: one who is in favor of the prevailing practices (or the “status quo” as my college professor puts it), and another one who protests with recommendations of what has to be done differently.

And as a consequence, some people who earlier filled a particular place would move someplace else, in a venue where their decisions would be followed. To be able to carry their belongings, again they would need travel bags.



Since days of old, people move a great deal. There are minimally two fundamental justifications why people travel - because they love it, or they should do it. Consequently, the ancient human beings are able to make room for the rise of civilizations - and with this, the development of travel luggage as we know it today.
