From Margaret Thatcher's iconic handbag to Queen Mary's World War II gas mask, the V&A puts history's most famous bags on display in its major new exhibition, Bags: Inside Out. Whether you simply appreciate their functionality, or you desire the latest designs, no one can deny the long-standing appeal of bags, and this exhibition is dedicated entirely to the ultimate accessory. Divided into three sections, it follows the themes Function, Status and Identity, and Design and Making with everything from military rucksacks and Winston Churchill's red despatch box to innovative designs by Mulberry and Karl Lagerfeld on display. Other highlights include a Fabergé Egg evening bag, a Fendi baguette bag and a Stella McCartney rucksack.
