Description - For the Love of Bags by Julia & Braatz

Women love handbags because they are a perfect vehicle-not just for keys, credit cards, and lipstick, but also their dreams and desires. Luxury labels made the humble purse into a billion-dollar business in the 20th century, but the purse is more than just a status symbol. Because it is constantly being reinvented, it wields a greater influence on everyday fashion than any hemline or silhouette. 'For the Love of Bags' is a homage to the power of the pocketbook: from icons like the Kelly Bag, the first "must-have" item ever, to popular Paris fashion house labels and the latest Instagram stars, this book details the history of the "it" bag and decodes the messages handbags communicate. AUTHOR: Sandra Semburg studied film and acting in New York and has worked as a photographer for numerous magazines and labels, including Harper's Bazaar Germany, Welt am Sonntag and lala Berlin. She began traveling to the most important fashion shows as a street style photographer in 2010 and shares the latest trends on her blog, aloveisblind.com. SELLING POINTS: . A must for every purse lover and men looking for the perfect gift . An overview of the most famous classic bags as well as the latest and hottest Instagram stars .
