Another great and beautifully illustrated book by Megan Hess. Quick and easy read, but still enjoyable light reading about classic, designer bags and the illustrations are just incredible! Perfect coffee table book.

A really lovely book. I loved the illustration and the anecdote but I would I loved even more informations about the stories of the bags.
An easy read and a lovely art object.

Prachtige illustraties, en leuker opgezet dan die over de LBD. Binnen een half uur uit, das dan weer jammer natuurlijk.
