Popular Purses: It's in the Bag!
Editorial Reviews Book Description From fun and funky to excitingly exotic, popular purses of the mid-20th century have a fashion appeal all their own. More than simply functional, these bags feature bold, often whimsical stylings. They say notice meand buyers continue to do just that! Crocodile and carved Lucite, and elegant beaded evening bags are here, as are bags by Enid Collins, all enticingly displayed in over 400 color photos and vintage ads. The bright, breezy, and informative text pays tribute to fashion at its flirtiest, while the current price guide will have collectors reaching for their pocketbooks! From the Author In creating this book, my co-author Leslie Pina and I were amazed at the variety of examples we found which effectively illustrated our concept of "popular purses". Lucite, Enid Collins, glittery evening bags, exotic animal fabrics, "fantastic plastics", and many more all capture the exhilarating trends in popular fashion which began after World War II, and continued on into the 1950s and 1960s. "Popular Purses: It's In The Bag!" focuses on the most colorful and imaginative handbags of this era. We hope you'll find the book informative, visually appealing, and as much fun to read as it was to write! --Donald-Brian Johnson--
