"Handbags and Gladrags" is a song written in 1967 by Mike d'Abo, who was then the lead singer of Manfred Mann. D'Abo describes the song's lyrical meaning as him "preaching to a girl" who feels material success is a sign she has "arrived", and reminding her to try think about other larger and longer-lasting values, and overall to not "grow up too quickly."
