"From Royalty to Rebels: The Timeless Allure of the Handbag" Nun looking at the camera: Even in simplicity, a handbag holds secrets and necessities alike. Diana, Princess of Wales in St Columb, Cornwall: A handbag fit for a princess - elegant and practical. Woman police officer in new Surrey uniform: Equipped with authority and style, her trusty handbag by her side. Marilyn Monroe in London July 1956: A glamorous icon clutching her beloved accessory - the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit of Thailand: Amidst regal splendor, their matching handbags symbolize unity and grace. At the Royal Ascot race meeting - Sir Herbert Samuelson, the Honourable Pamela Boscawen: Fashion meets tradition as they flaunt their fashionable arm candy at this prestigious event. At the Ascot races - Lady Congleton and companion (1926): In an era defined by elegance, these ladies exude sophistication with their exquisite purses on display. Labour Party Leader Ramsay MacDonald seen here with leading women's groups (1930s): Empowering women through politics while never forgetting their stylish companions – handbags that hold both ambition and essentials. At the Royal Ascot race meeting - Duke of Richmond and Gordon (1925): Men too appreciate a well-crafted bag; even nobility knows its value beyond mere fashion statement. Ignoring danger? Not without my gas mask handbag. During wartime adversity, innovation merges with necessity to create functional yet chic accessories for survival.
