Megan Hess: The Bag

Megan Hess: The Bag is an illustrated love story about the most stylish, timeless and useful of accessories, from internationally renowned fashion illustrator Megan Hess.

A piece of fashion is so much more than an object. To the designer who creates it, the muse who inspires it, the fashion lover who lusts after it, or the star who defines it, that piece is part of a story.

A beautiful bag is the ultimate fashion investment. From the Hermes Birkin to the Chanel Classic, the Lady Dior to the Louis Vuitton Keepall, the Valentino Rockstud to the Fendi Baguette, these iconic designs are not just the perfect way to carry your lipstick and book – and complete your outfit. They are works of art and craftsmanship.

Megan Hess: The Bag is the next in the Ultimate Fashion Wardrobe series, filled with fascinating information and stunning illustrations and packaged up in a beautiful hardback: the ideal accessory for any fashion life.
