According to Carmel Allen, the beauty editor of Vogue magazine, the key to assessing a modern girl is the handbag. With over 150 colour photographs, this book offers a celebration of the handbag. An indispensable accessory as well as a key fashion statement, the handbag is portable boudoir, office, bank and emergency kit for women. With chapters on the history of the handbag, a Who's Who of style-shapers, a look at the contents women carry and an A-Z of international designers and brands, this book is suitable for handbag lovers. From the classics - the Chanel quilted bag, the Hermès Kelly, Gucci's bamboo-handled, snaffle designs, and Louis Vuitton's monogram, to artistic creations from Judith Leiber and Nathalie Hambro and celebrity favorites Marc Jacobs, Tory Burch, and Balenciaga, the A-Z section profiles the most coveted and iconic designs ever.

The time is perfect for a short, smart purse book. The "good bag" has nudged out shoes, jeans, and jewelry as the must–have fashion possession. Despite price hikes –– $1,445 for a Prada bowler bag that once cost $940 –– the craze for high–end purses helps fuel the booming luxury–goods market and, via knock–offs, hugely influences the $6 billion–a–year mainstream handbag industry. But purse mania isn't just an outgrowth of a strong luxury–goods market –– human thoughts, feelings, and dreams are involved, too. As Nadia, a high–powered interior designer says, "My cell and my big Tod's purse –– that is my life." In IT'S IN THE BAG, noted journalist Winifred Gallagher explains it what means for a purse to be a life. This cultural history of the handbag borrows from psychology (Freud noted that sometimes a purse is a vagina –– which is perhaps why the first "handbags" were carried by men!), sociology (a purse as a "status symbol") and even economics (Why have prices gotten so steep?). Researched and erudite yet always fun, Winifred Gallagher offers in IT'S IN THE BAG a charming theory of modern identity as seen through one of our keenest obsessions.

The handbag has never been more important in fashion than it is today. Whether Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, or Chanel, the It bag of the season is a much-coveted designer item that indicates supreme style cachet—and for which the fashion-minded do not hesitate to spend. In this lush volume, filled with a range of rich historical and contemporary images, fashion authority Caroline Cox explores the history of this must-have accessory, beginning with its development in the nineteenth century with the reticule—essentially a pocket with a handle—to the slouchy, greatly oversized bags popular today. In six chapters, each devoted to a decade, Cox not only highlights the most noteworthy bags in fashion design, but looks at their evolution within the social context of the day. Featured bags include Vuitton's revolutionary Noe bag for the female traveler, Art Deco clutch bags molded in Bakelite, the Hermès Kelly bag endorsed by Princess Grace of Monaco in the 1950s, and the It bag of the moment, the Marc Jacobs Stam. This book is a fascinating history of handbag design examined within the context of changing society and women's roles in it. Filled with a collection of important handbags, diverse imagery, and a fun, informative text, this beautifully designed volume is a must-have for handbag aficionados and lovers of fashion alike.

A luxe and definitive guide to 400 luxury handbags by the world's leading fashion designers and couture houses Luxury handbags account for almost a third of global luxury sales alone, and are both an aspiration and addiction for many. From Hermés's priceless Birkin bag to Chanel's coveted flap bags that have been prevalent since the 1950s, to Fendi's instantly recognizable Baguette bag, it is no surprise why these incredible purses are often considered symbols of luxury and status due to their high-quality craftsmanship. The Handbag Book: 400 Essential Designer Bags is a look back at 400 of the most famous handbags designed by the greatest names in fashion. With stunning spreads, photographs of the handbags, and introductory text for each style, it is the authority on high-end fashion. In addition, this tome also includes backgrounds on the designers, stories of how certain styles became cemented into the fashion lexicon, tips on how to identify a counterfeit, a look at the increasing popularity of second-hand bags, and even behind-the-scenes looks into how these handbags are made.
