Women love handbags because they are a perfect vehicle ― not just for keys, credit cards, and lipstick, but also their dreams and desires. Luxury labels made the humble bag into a billion-dollar business in the 20th century, but the bag is more

than just a status symbol. Because it is constantly being reinvented, it wields a greater influence on everyday fashion than any hemline or silhouette.

For the Love of Bags is a homage to the power of the handbag: from icons like the Kelly Bag, the first "must-have" item ever, to popular Paris fashion

house labels and the latest Instagram stars, this book details the history of the "it" bag and decodes the messages handbags communicate.

女性喜欢包包，因为它们是一个理想的载体，不仅可以装钥匙、信用卡和口红，还可以装下她们的梦想和欲望。奢侈品牌让简陋的包包在20世纪成为价值数十亿美元的生意，但包包不仅仅是一种身份的象征。由于不断更新换代，它对日常时尚的影响比任何裙摆或轮廓都大。

本书是对包包的致敬：从凯莉包这样的标志性产品，到流行的巴黎时装品牌和Instagram新星，本书详细介绍了包包的历史，并解读了包包传达的信息。
