Most women would agree with Miss Piggy—and even those who didn’t would think one bag for all occasions isn’t really enough. Ever since the reticule came into style after the French Revolution, women have been attached to their handbags. And whether you’re a woman of leisure who wants a tiny bag to carry a lipstick, comb, and mirror or a working woman who needs a satchel to hold your cell phone, e-reader, laptop, water bottle, makeup, lunch, and whatever else you need in the course of a long day, you’re sure to be enchanted by the variety of bags featured in this lavishly illustrated book. A wonderful range of bags is presented--from Judith Leiber’s sculpted, crystal-studded metal “minaudières” to James Piatt’s “Peacekeeper” handbag with its knuckleduster handle, from Lulu Guinness’s red snakeskin “Lips” clutch to Hester van Eeghen’s elegant “Monocle” bag, from Kathleen Dustin’s exquisite “Rose Bud” wrist purse to Inés Figaredo’s retro “Telephone” shoulder bag. It’s a showcase gallery of 25 contemporary handbag designers, and it features over 100 artful creations. The crazy beautiful bags in this book provide perfect accents for every wardrobe.

Покер – самая популярная карточная игра. Происхождение её названия до сих пор точно неизвестно. Одна из версий связывает происхождение названия с немецким словом "pochen" (стучать). Впервые игра, напоминающая покер, появилась еще в XVI веке. Покер как карточная игра существует более 500 лет, однако его правила были другими. Покер, таким, каким его знают современные игроки, существует с начала XIX века.

Язык: английский / English

A celebration of female inventiveness and aesthetic sensibility, Shedding the Shackles explores women's craft enterprises, their artisanal excellence, and the positive impact their individual projects have on breaking the poverty cycle. In the first part of the twentieth century, suffering from a legacy inherited from the Victorian era, craft skills, such as weaving, sewing, embroidery, and quilting were regarded largely as women's domestic pastimes, and remained undervalued and marginalised. It has taken several decades for attitudes to change, for the boundaries between 'fine art' and craft to blur, and for textile crafts to be given the same respect and recognition as other media. Featuring artisans and projects from across the globe Shedding the Shackles celebrates their vision and motivation giving a fascinating glimpse into how these craft initiatives have created a sustainable lifestyle, and impacted upon their communities at a deeper level.
