An exploration of the role of the handbag in the history of
culture, fashion, and material production The history of the
handbag-its design, how it has been made, used, and worn-reveals
something essential about women's lives over the past 500 years.
Perhaps the most universal item of fashionable adornment, it can
also be elusive, an object of desire, secrecy, and even fear.
Handbags explores these rich histories and multiple meanings. This
book features specially commissioned photographs of an
extraordinary, newly formed collection of fashionable handbags that
date from the 16th century to the present day. It has been acquired
for exhibition in the first museum devoted to the handbag, in
Seoul, South Korea. The project is a commission undertaken by
experimental exhibition-maker Judith Clark, whose innovative
practices are revealed in Handbags. Essays by leading fashion
historians and an acclaimed psychoanalyst investigate the history
of gesture, the psychoanalysis of bags, and the museum's
state-of-the-art mannequins and archive cabinets. In order to
preserve the words that describe the unique qualities of each bag,
a terminology of handbags has been compiled. Published in
association with the Simone Handbag Museum, Seoul
