Handbags What Every Woman Should Know by Stephanie Pedersen

*****

 (but only if you like handbags!!) 

We decided to order some books about handbags. I've been making bags and selling them on etsy and Randy suggested we learn more about "handbags" to be able to speak with knowledge about what we sell.

Well, hmmm, books - bags.... WOW! Who am I to argue with my husband?? He hit 2 of my very favorite things with his suggestion and he didn't have to tell me more than once to start searching for some "books"!!!

The first book we got is "Handbags, What Every Woman Should Know". First, let me tell you that this is a beautiful hardback about 7" X 7". Stephanie Pedersen, the author has presented examples from Handbags of "Yore" and of bags from 1901 to 2006. This book includes history of the handbag and beautiful photography. She covers many of the most desirable handbags by  designers Fendi, Dior, Gucci - the season's must have. 


It reminds me of a coffee table book - only in miniature. The photography is that good. Pederson has done a great job with this bit of fashion.

I have been known to say that I would go barefoot if it meant getting a new bag!!! Looking at these bags just made my passion for bags worse!! - or better, depending on who you ask!


It's a very fast read. I went through it in about 2 hours. But if you love bags - there are some gorgeous ones in this fashion book. There is also some very interesting bits of history, too!
