Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The antique beaded bag is a most exquisite and sought-after vintage collectible. Over 600 detailed color photographs display hundreds of mostly European (French, Italian, Austrian, and Czechoslovakian) handbags, many never before published, including Miser, American Indian, embroidered, drawstring, framed, scenic, Bohemian, and cut steel, with information on care, history, and design techniques, and close-up photographs of the intricate beadwork. Detailed captions, a current value guide, a comprehensive bibliography, and an index guarantee this to be the ultimate collector's guide to vintage handbag fashion design.


About the Author

The authors collaborated on the companion volume, Beads in Fashion: 1900-2000**. All three work at Ursuline College in Pepper Pike, Ohio--Lorita is an adjunct professor who teaches courses on beadwork and its history; Leslie heads the Historic Preservation program; and Constance heads the Fashion Department. Leslie has written over forty other books on the decorative arts and fashion, six of which were co-authored with Constance.

4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT FOR THE BEGINNER OR CO;;ECTOR, June 21, 2008
iT WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD IDEA ON WHAT YOU SHOULD BE PAYING OR SELLING A BEADED BAGS FOR. IF YOU HAVE ONE, YOU CAN FIND THE TYPE IT IS AND DETERMINE THE AGE, CONDITION AND THE VALUE. IT IS EASY TO READ, WITH LOTS OF PHOTOS. THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT PURSES PICTURED, THE PHOTOS ARE ENOUGH TO ENTERTAIN ME FOR HOURS-WISHING I COULD FIND ALL OF THE ITEMS I SEE.
