Handbag history: A lesson
Hermès
Kelly and Birkin bags continue to be highly sought-after and have become increasingly popular since they were first designed.
Birkin bags were inspired by English actress and singer Jane Birkin in the 1980s. In a chance encounter with the former Hermès CEO on an airplane, the celebrity suggested the design for a weekend bag, which paved the way for the consistently popular ‘Birkin' bag.
The Kelly bag was named after Grace Kelly, who in 1956 had just become Princess of Monaco and was seen carrying the original leather 'Sac à dépêche' to hide her pregnancy. Photographs of the young starlet were sent all over the world, leading to the bag being known as the Kelly. Originally designed in 1935 the shape is a classic form which has gained worldwide acclaim.

Chanel
Chanel, ever practical, introduced a handbag suspended from thin straps in 1929, as an alternative to the clutch - freeing up the busy woman-about-town's hands for other things. When she returned from retirement in 1954, Chanel decided to update her handbag even further and called the bag 2.55 after the date of creation, February 1955.
The 2.55 remains the most popular bag today, both vintage and new.
In fact, 해머캔디 Chanel released an exact copy of the original 2.55 in February 2005 to commemorate the bag's 50th birthday. It remains a design classic, with its quilted exterior and double chain straps. Fans will know that the burgundy leather interiors were said to be inspired by Chanel's convent school uniform and that when this bag has the ‘Mademoiselle' lock, it is known as a ‘Classic Flap'. The Double C lock was introduced in the 1980s. This sale includes several variants of the 2.55.
Lot 18: An emerald fabric classic flap bag Chanel, 2009-10 with silvertone metal hardware, classic chain, dustbag and box 30.5 cm, estimate: £1,500 - 2,500
Lot 65: An Hermès tan box lather passe-guide bag from 1979, estimated to fetch £2,500 - £3,500
The Vintage Couture: Handbags and Accessories online-only auction features 102 exquisite items. Lot 18: A 30cm 2011 lime bag, estimate £10,000-£15,000 (left) and Lot 34: A crocus 2012 with silver palladium hardware, padlock, keyfob and dustbag 35 cm, estimate: £5,000-£7,000 (right), both Epsom leather Birkins by Hermès
Lot 5: A 2005 45cm limited edition monogram cerise canvas keepall bag Takashi Murakami for Louise Vuitton, goldtone metal hardware with handle fastener and dustbag, estimate:£1,000 - £2,000
Prices start at £400 at Christies.com.
Bonhams auction fashion magazine collection for £15,000
Man In A Vuitton Bag at Bonhams is a rare collection of 'the world's chicest magazine' - and it's going under the hammer.
Edition 18 of the contemporary fashion, art and design periodical Visionare is a Fashion Special which comes in a monogrammed Louis Vuitton portfolio.
It sold its entire 2,500 print run in less than three weeks and is now to be sold at the Bonhams Books, Maps, Manuscripts and Photographs sale in Knightsbridge on Wednesday 19 June.
It is part of a collection of 53 issues of Visionaire, for sale as one lot, estimated at £15,000-20,000.
Visionaire was first published in 1991 and has appeared three times a year in numbered, limited editions ever since.
No two editions are alike and each features a different theme.
Bonhams specialist Simon Roberts said: 'Visionaire collections of this size rarely come onto the market. This is a great opportunity to acquire a major part of this wonderfully imaginative and original magazine's output.'
