Description

From the hand-stitched embroidered purses of the 16th century, to the 'make-do-and-mend' bags of the war years and the rise of the 'It' bag in the 2000s, bags reflect the needs and desires of their users, as well as the changing attitudes to fashion. Focusing on the V&A's world-famous collection, Bags tells the story of the bag from the earliest leather pouches through to today's covetable, luxury pieces.
