The weight of women's handbags have been reduced in the last two years, courtesy new technology such as the iphones and Blackberry. The weight of handbags has been reduced by more than 50 per cent in the last couple of years.

The study observed that the weight of an average handbag has reduced from about 3.5kg in 2006 and 2007 to 1.5kg last year.

Two years ago, women were carrying around 7.3lbs, the equivalent of three and a half bags of sugar, everywhere they went. Thanks to new technologies, women do not have to carry heavy weights with them.

However, the study found that make ups, mirror, purses, tissues, perfumes, sanitary products, brushes, toothpaste, receipts, address books and headache pills still make up the greatest percentage of weight in women's handbags.
