Description

Handbags have been an essential part of the feminine attire for nearly 200 years. This all-inclusive book showcases hundreds of unique handbags, from pouches worn in the dark ages to contemporary clutches, illustrated in 450 beautiful color images. This book traces the handbag's evolution as it has related to fashion and been influenced by history. The handbags range from delicate beaded reticules, to bold metal ring mesh bags and rhinestone- accented velvet evening bags. Leather, silk, plastic, and even wooden handbags are shown, each with current market values in the caption. The factual text and period advertisements will appeal to enthusiasts. This book is an invaluable reference for collectors and antique professionals, and a great resource for designers. Read more

    • Excellent reference.
As a beginner handbag collector, I found this book to be an excellent reference. The book is well organized. The history of handbags is interesting and relevant. The many photographs are clear and there are vintage ads which show the items being described. Special chapters on mesh and beaded bags are very thorough. Three chapters show handbags from the 1930's 40's and 50's. Twenty nine pages at the end show vintage advertisements, always a good source in dating items. Very pleased with my purchase. Money well spent. ... show more

    • Not What I Was Looking For......
Not exactly what I was looking for. Too many beaded handbags, not enough on Rex Fifth Avenue, Enid Collins and Lucite handbags.
