Editorial Reviews

Product Description

CatCopyII
Covers the most prestigious labels for today's hottest fashion accessory

*Handbag sales reached $5.34 billion in 2003 and are growing at 8 percent a year, according to Accessories Magazine
*Someone buys a woman's handbag on eBay every 30 seconds
*Follows Stephanie Pedersen's popular titles Shoes and Bra

Handbags have surpassed shoes, jeans and jewelry as the statement-making accessory of choice. At the top end, hot labels like Marc Jacobs and Prada can fetch more than $1,000. Insanity? Yes, but the designs often prove irresistible, and author Stephanie Pedersen covers the biggest brands in the business--Bottega, Chanel, Chloe, Dior, Fendi, Ferragamo, Gucci, Hermès and, of course, Marc Jacobs and Prada.

Handbags also digs into the accessory's history, from the earliest animal-skin pouches to modern-day masterpieces, and features fascinating archival photographs, vintage advertisements and plenty of bags to die for!"
