Handbags are chosen more for their aesthetic than utilitarian properties in the 21st Century. Today, everything around us is designed and the word 'design' has become part of our everyday experience. But how much do we know about it? Fifty Bags That Changed the World imparts that knowledge listing the top 50 handbags, cases and backpacks that have made a substantial impact in the world of fashion and design today. From the original 1860 red budget box to a contemporary 2010 Chanel clutch bag, each entry offers a short appraisal to explore what has made their iconic status and the designers that give them a special place in design history.

About the Author
The Design Museum's mission is to celebrate, entertain, and inform. It is the world's leading museum devoted to contemporary design in every form from furniture to graphics, and architecture to industrial design. It is working to place design at the centre of contemporary culture. It demonstrates both the richness of the creativity to be found in all forms of design, and its importance. Design is a hugely fertile field of inventive new work, as well as a key component underpinning the modern economy. It provides a means for understanding the contemporary world, and, potentially, for making it a better place.

I am really interested in all things to do with fashion and their various eras, so really enjoyed the book and definitely recommend it, if only to see the wonderful bags, and their history.

A good extra for Christmas and a neat book with adequate but not overwhelming information, good to pick up and flip through.
