Cigar Box Purses

History of the Cigar Box Purse The history of cigar box purses is deeply intertwined with the evolution of cigar boxes themselves. Cigar boxes were first required to be packed in wooden boxes in 1864, and their design and materials have evolved over time. The use of cigar boxes as marketing tools to draw attention to cigars dates back to the 19th century. The boxes served as a marketing vehicle to draw attention to the cigars, with highly decorated boxes using bold bright colors and ornate typography helping to make a positive impact on sales. Over the years, cigar boxes have been made from various materials, including wood, cardboard, tin, and plastic, and have been used to store and protect cigars. The design on a cigar box often tells the cigar brand's story and provides information about the cigar. These beautiful boxes have been saved from the landfill and repurposed into unique purses. Roomy enough for todays cellphone, lipstick, etc. and unique enough to draw attention. Influencers, bring back vintage and keep the quality of these hand made items going for generations to follow.
