Following on from her popular retrospectives Vintage Fashion, Vintage Furniture, and Vintage Shoes comes fashion expert Marnie Fogg’s latest coffee table compendium, Vintage Handbags.
This beautiful book spans 100 years of handbag fashions, showcasing iconic styles from fashion’s golden ages. It documents the key designers, technical developments, and cultural influences which shaped handbag design in each decade. See Elsa Schiaparelli’s mesh bags for Whiting & Davis in the 1920s, Hermès Kelly bag from the 1950s, through the modern masterpieces like the Fendi baguette.
There are plenty of full-color photographs for us to drool over, including archive images, fashion photos, and specially commissioned shots of period pieces.
Vintage Handbags gets an extra dose of cred with a foreword by acclaimed designer Anya Hindmarch.
Vintage Handbags will be released in September through Carlton Books. The price is yet to be determined, but you can sign up for on-sale notification through Amazon.
