Flaptekst van het boek over handtassen van Hermès
Discover the fascinating world of Hermès bags with the new illustrated book “The Ultimate Guide to Hermès Bags”, written by author and stylist Alexandra Fullerton. This visually stunning book is part of the new Brand Bible series, which is dedicated to the most iconic handbag models from the most renowned designers. In 192 pages, the author provides a comprehensive insight into the history, craftsmanship and cultural influence of these coveted luxury accessories.
Hermès, which was founded in France in 1837, is known for its exquisite leather goods and fashion accessories. The most famous bag models – the Birkin and the Kelly Bag – are not only fashion objects, but also symbols of elegance and status. The Birkin Bag, named after the actress Jane Birkin, and the Kelly Bag, dedicated to the actress Grace Kelly, are just two examples of the timeless beauty that Hermès stands for.
In addition to the classics, the illustrated book is also dedicated to other coveted models such as the Constance, the Evelyne and the Garden Party. Fullerton also sheds light on the pop-cultural influence of Hermès bags, which have a special place in films and series such as “Sex and the City”. Handbags are also extremely popular with celebrities and fashion influencers.
Another highlight of the content is the insight into the handcrafted production of the bags, which are often only available in limited editions and are created using unusual materials and traditional techniques. “The Ultimate Guide to Hermès Bags” is not only the ultimate reference book for fans of Hermès bags – it is also a real eye-catcher for any coffee table.
