Design & Make Fashion Bags & Purses || Christina Brodie

This new series from Black’s has every appearance of being aimed at the competent amateur rather than the fashion design student and the production slots it in perfectly. The projects are sufficiently detailed that these are much more than just look-at books but sufficiently well and attractively illustrated that they capture the imagination and maintain the interest. If there’s a quibble, it’s that the stockists listed are all in London, but they all appear to have websites and a little time spent with Google or the Yellow Pages should throw up something in your area if you don’t want to go the mail order route.
