Book Synopsis

The stylish illustrated book "The Ultimate Guide to Hermès Bags" by Alexandra Fullerton is dedicated to the world-famous handbags of the French luxury fashion house Hermès and is another volume in the new Brand Bible series. On 192 pages, the most coveted, most beautiful and most outstandingly crafted models of the brand are presented. From the legendary Birkin to the elegant Kelly and the robust Evelyne, originally developed by the Hermès equestrian department, each bag tells a unique story and is a true symbol of craftsmanship, style and luxury.

Hermès, founded in 1837, has become famous for its luxurious leather goods, and of course its iconic handbags are made from the finest leather. But the designs are also legendary. The Birkin Bag, named after the actress Jane Birkin, is one of the most coveted fashion accessories in the world. With its variety of sizes and colors and its high level of exclusivity, which is reinforced by waiting lists and the secondary market, the Birkin is a true status symbol. The Kelly Bag, named after Grace Kelly, is just as timeless and exclusive. The classic design of the handbag still sets standards today.

Author and stylist Alexandra Fullerton guides you through the fascinating world of Hermès bags with a great deal of expertise and passion for fashion and style. She sheds light on the stories behind the bags, explains their characteristic features and their significance in pop culture. Hermès bags not only play a role on the catwalk, but also in popular films, series such as "Sex and the City" and in art. Hardly any celebrity or fashion influencer has not been photographed with a Hermès handbag, and Hermès is also popular in street style. Numerous photographs document the unique cult surrounding the handbags.

But "The Ultimate Guide to Hermès Bags" is not just informative - with its clean cover design, it is also a real eye-catcher for any coffee table.
