  The 20th century has witnessed extraordinary changes, fads and trends in all aspects of fashion and style. New materials, manufacturing and marketing methods, the deprivation of two World Wars, economic depression and periods of prosperity have all played their part in shaping the variety and inventiveness of clothes and accessory design. This book provides a perspective on 20th-century fashion in bags, viewing different designs and styles against the background of changing social moods and attitudes. It examines all of the keynote styles of the century, profiles the big international names and features the most innovative and extraordinary designs of the century.
