''Any woman can wear shoes and handbags: it''s not a question of how tall you are, how skinny you are, how blonde or blue-eyed or tanned or whatever.''
Marc Jacobs

Carolyn Asome reveals the fashion accessory that can make any woman feel fabulous - from the myriad surrealist creations of Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel to Prada''s democratic nylon backpack, from the exclusive Hermés Birkin bag to individual vintage gems, the handbag is fashion''s most inventive accessory

No shock, then, that the handbag market today is worth more than a hundred billion dollars. From each season''s must-have to five-figure rarities, the handbag symbolizes the inexplicable power of fashion desire. Vogue Essentials: Handbags explores all the greatest hits in a collection that any fashion devotee will covet.

Published simultaneously with Vogue Essentials: Little Black Dress. This irresistible new series from Conran Octopus and British Vogue explores the key pieces in a stylish woman''s wardrobe and features photographs from Vogue''s peerless archive of more than a million pictures.
