The history of the handbag - its design, how it has been made, used, and worn - reveals something essential about women's lives lived over the last 500 years. "Handbags" explores these rich histories and multiple meanings. Perhaps the most universal item of fashionable adornment, it can also be elusive, an object of desire, secrecy and even fear.
It has been acquired to exhibit in the first museum devoted to the handbag, in Seoul, South Korea. This book features specially commissioned photographs of an extraordinary, newly formed collection of fashionable handbags that dates from the 16th century to the present day. The project is a commission undertaken by experimental exhibition-maker Judith Clark, whose innovative practices are revealed in "Handbags".
Essays by leading fashion historians and an acclaimed psychoanalyst investigate the history of gesture, the psychoanalysis of bags, and the museum's state-of-the-art mannequins and archive cabinets. In order to preserve the words that describe the unique qualities of each bag, a glossary of handbags has been compiled.
