A superb collection of b/w photographs presented in essay format by influential fashion photographer Irving Penn. Best known for his classically elegant visual style and his long association with Vogue magazine, these photographs feature Paris fashions that appeared in Vreeland's exhibition "The Tens, The Twenties, The Thirties: Inventive Clothes/ 1909-1939" at the The Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute, Dec. 14, 1973-May, 1974. The work of Paul Poiret, Madeleine Vionnet, Callot, Molyneux, Paquin, Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli are some of early 20th century French couture masters included in this look at fashion as it evolved from the Belle Epoque into the modern era, just before WWII. From the dust jacket: "The fashions of the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s were as glorious as they were socially reflective. Inspired by the exhibit organized by Diana Vreeland for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Irving Penn's masterly picture essay captures the flavor of the times as well as literal details of design. Because of her participation in and astute observation of, the scene in which these fashions were born, Diana Vreeland in her text is able to provide a unique glimpse into the lives of each of the couturiers, and her captions to Penn's sensitive photographs are rich in detail. From the straight-line creations of Paul Poiret to the classically modern work of Gabrielle Chanel and the fanciful innovations of Elsa Schiaparelli, Penn has included the most remarkable material─designs that provided the principles from which all fashion to follow would grow."

A little disappointed
Size: One Size, Color: Tuscany
A little disappointed. Bag is a good size but the color is not the same as another Lucky Brand bag that I was trying to replace. It’s darker and not a true tan leather. The crossbody clip on is not leather.

Lucky Brand at Amazon Prices
Size: One Size, Color: Rose Quartz
Who doesnt love the smell of a new leather purse? And from Lucky Brand at Amazon prices? Sign me up! I plan to use this as a crossbody as the strap is the perfect length. So cute, great size and smells fantastic.

Super cute… but not what the listing is
Size: One Size, Color: Dark Cappuccino, Size: One Size, Color: Dark Cappuccino
First of all, this listing is entirely inaccurate, as other reviews say, the picture is of a larger bag when in reality you are sent something much smaller and without the small wallet. I wanted the smaller bag, so I ordered it intentionally, but if you are looking for the larger size, do not order this. I included a side by side comparison of the two bags. The lighter bag is the size this listing is supposed to be (that I owned previously) and the smaller one is the one I was sent. That being said the smaller bag is super cute and so similar to the Brooklyn bag! Just be aware that it does not match the listing :)

Material
Size: One Size, Color: Dark Cappuccino, Size: One Size, Color: Dark Cappuccino
This purse has a good size for an every day purse. It’s a pretty style purse, and reminds me of the Coach brooklyn shoulder bag. I’m not too crazy about this bag since the material is thin and flimsy, but I should be okay.
