Sophie Gachet — The Handbag Book: 400 Designer Bags

Sophie Gachet — The Handbag Book: 400 Designer Bags

Published by Abrams Books with a foreword by Inès de la Fressange, this is a survey of four hundred of the most-recognised handbags in fashion — Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Dior, Celine, Bottega Veneta and the rest — set out across full-page photography and short editorial entries on each style.

The book reads as part reference, part long browse: a useful working volume for stylists and historians, and the kind of object that earns its place on the coffee table. Hardcover, paper-over-boards, 480 pages. Published 2024.
