We’re proud to partner with Expona to introduce “Carry Me – 100 Years of Handbags” to the PANART collection—a unique exhibition that offers a scholarly journey through the history of women’s handbags over the last century.
From practical leather pouches and empire-waist bags inspired by Pompeii’s influence to luxurious icons by Dior, Chanel, and Gucci, sourced from a private Italian collection, this boutique collection reveals how handbags evolved beyond mere accessories to powerful symbols of identity, status, and social change.
Available exclusively through PANART in North America, “Carry Me” invites institutions and audiences to see the handbag as a lens through which to understand design history, fashion, and cultural transformation.
