‘A bag, if you think about it – and I do, a lot – has a life of its own. It just is, whereas clothing is nothing without a body inside.’ Tom Ford, US Vogue, February 1998

 

Bags: Inside Out is a short history of bags, as told through 40 highlights from the V&A’s spellbinding exhibition. Through these objects, it explores the design, construction and function of bags, for both men and women, from Elizabethan England to contemporary China. Suitcases and backpacks sit alongside clutch bags, vanity cases and iconic ‘It bags’ to form a guide to the ultimate accessory.
