Handbags: The Power of the Purse by Anna Johnson

[Buttery]

I ordered this book from amazon.com and received it today!!! I love it!!!! So much history about handbags and so many gorgeous photos. Best of all, it's small enough to fit into a purse.

Here's the link:

I have this too - it's great! I love the way she does seperate sections focusing on important bag designers and their history. I also have several books authored by someone called Claire Willcox who works for the fashion section of the Victoria and Albert museum in London - they are worth getting. I'll look up the titles when I get home.

I have this too - we are indeed all addicts. I ordered another one from Amazon recently, it's called "Handbag Chic: 200 Years of Designer Fashion" by Desire Smith, looks good!

CBS had an interview with her today on their Sunday morning show. I'm going this afternoon to get the book from B&N. Looks good. I love the size!

DH just bought me this a small easter gift. I love it. I told him, "You realize this means I'm going to have to get something from Herme soon since it's on the cover."
