"The volume...takes the sociology of fashion seriously, tracing the development of Vuitton's trademark bags through "a system mimicking the scientific classification of plants and animals",...interviews with Vuitton collaborating artists, vintage paparazzi shots, and fun packing lists round out the book." ~ Vogue, "The volume...takes the sociology of fashion seriously, tracing the development of Vuitton's trademark bags through "a system mimicking the scientific classification of plants and animals",...interviews with Vuitton collaborating artists, vintage paparazzi shots, and fun packing lists round out the book." ~ Vogue "City Bags combines a unique, appealing approach to almost a scientific play on iconic shapes. The first comprehensive taxonomy of Louis Vuitton's City Bags, a range of women's handbags that date back to turn of the 20th century." ~Trouvaillesdujour blog

Synopsis
This volume is an unprecedented history of Louis Vuitton's women's bags, the most coveted line of accessories in women's fashion. At the heart of Louis Vuitton are its City Bags, a range of women's bags that dates back to the turn of the twentieth century. Featuring the trademark monograms of the house, the City Bag story began with the Steamer, a resort bag designed in 1901 to be packed inside a much larger steamer trunk. These bags have in a hundred years formally diversified into a dizzying array of handbags for every conceivable function demanded by the modern woman. Profoundly influential, City Bags are now known to millions by their descriptive names (Keepall, Bucket, Papillon, Alma, Locket, Noe, Speedy) and are still evolving into more fantastical forms. Lavishly illustrated with new and archival photography, historical graphics, landmark editorials, and ad campaigns, the volume traces the history of these specific bag families, and examines the earliest specimens and today's most sought-after collectibles, including Vuitton's collaborations with Takashi Murakami, Stephen Sprouse, Richard Prince, Yayoi Kusama, and Rei Kawakubo and one-off projects by Zaha Hadid, Shigeru Ban, Vivienne Westwood, Helmut Lang, Andrée Putman, and of course, Marc Jacobs. Louis Vuitton: City Bags is an ambitious volume on the creation and cultivation of a cultural phenomenon. ***This book is being published with three uniquely patterned covers.

- m***6 (40)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseExcellent seller. Came several days sooner than expected, package was securely wrapped and protected. Very open about the condition of the book in the listing – book appeared better than I anticipated, no notable wear other than typical page yellowing from age. Pages all completely intact, no bends. Until this seller, I’ve had no luck finding this book used at a price I was willing to pay. Great price, awesome item. Thank you again for helping me find something I’ve wanted for a long time.
