Bag is our religion. (5)

When they had used a bag, they found it was useful. It appeared that they could be seen less stupid to put their comic magazines or racing forms into their bag than to have those in their hand. Though at first, men’s bags had been made of some rest of cloth which is used to make women’s clothes. After that result of seeking a high class bag, they discovered to make bags of leather as like women’s. As a result of this, after handbags, wallets, shoes, and belts were made of cattle leather, men’s bags were made by rest parts of that.
