V&A Bags skate Over generations they have honedFrom the hand stitched embroidered purses of the 16th century, to the 'make do and mend' bags of the war years and the rise of the 'It' bag in the 2000s, bags reflect the needs and desires of their users, as well as the changing attitudes to fashion. Focusing on the V&A's world famous collection, Bags tells the story of the bag from the earliest leather pouches through to today's covetable, luxury pieces. Publisher name Thames and Hudson Ltd
