BOOK REVIEW: WHAT WE THOUGHT

“Handbags” by Stephanie Pedersen is a beautiful hardcover book and would make a thoughtful and unique gift for the fashion conscious friends in your life.
It is only fairly small, but it contains a lot of facts about handbags, as well as quotes from celebrities from the past and present.

“Handbags” is a timeline of handbags throughout history, and while a lot of aspects have changed, it’s interesting to see elegant and classic styles will always be in fashion.

What would have to be my favourite part of this book, is the photos and illustrations of the different handbags, and the journey of this essential fashion item over the years.

In this book, Stephanie Pedersen also offers tips on handbags, as well as explores topics such as “What your handbag says about you.”

“Handbags” is packed with interesting information and images, from the 1900s to the present day.
