The Handbag Book: 400 Designer Bags That Changed Fashion

The coffee table book "The Handbag Book" is a luxurious and definitive guide to 400 luxury handbags from the world's leading fashion designers and couture houses that have changed the world forever.

Luxury handbags alone account for nearly a third of global luxury sales and are both an aspiration and an addiction for many. From Hermés' priceless Birkin bag to Chanel's coveted flap bags that have been in vogue since the 1950s and Fendi's instantly recognizable Baguette bag, it's no surprise why these incredible handbags are often considered symbols of luxury and status thanks to their high-quality craftsmanship.

The fashion book "The Handbag Book: 400 Essential Designer Bags" is a look back at 400 of the most famous handbags designed by the biggest names in fashion. With beautiful spreads, photos of the handbags and introductory text for each style, it is the authority on high-end fashion. In addition, this book includes background on the designers, stories about how certain styles became entrenched in the fashion icon, tips on how to spot a fake, a look at the growing popularity of second-hand bags and even a behind-the-scenes look at the making of these handbags.
