A Century of Bags

A nice, detailed look at a wide variety of purses, clutches and other bags. I especially liked the full-color photos on every page, well-done and with plenty of close-ups. The book covers bags from 1900-2000, including bags of Judith Leiber, Prada, The Kelly Bag,Hermes, Guineess,Whiting & Davis, Schiaparelli, Chanel and many more designers. Great for both beginning purse collectors and seasoned afficianados of great purse and bag design.
