Head Over Heels: A High Heel Review
Like diamonds, high heels are a girl’s best friend. While this fact may seem amusing, it was proven true a very long time ago. During the 16th century, European royalty started wearing high-heeled shoes to make them look taller or larger than life.

Initially, it was most often used to refer to men’s hand-luggage. As women’s accessory bags grew larger and more complex during that period, the term was attached to the women’s accessory. The clutch; however, came about in England during the Industrial Revolution and the increase in travel by railway.
