Framed Purse Art

Modern Europeans changed the looks and purpose of the purse, with the most radical transformations occurring in the early 19th century. Some of the framed purse prints highlight the elegance and charm of these early accessories, but the vast majority focuses on the contemporary items. Todd Williams is one of the artists with a passion for purses and his commitment paid off, as there are several art prints titled Exotic Purse and Classy Purse to choose from.

What most framed purse prints have in common is that the handbags are of generous proportions and it looks like ladies could carry a small fortune inside. Interesting enough, the idea of large purses came to H. J. Cave more than a century ago and he even produced some items, before giving up, convinced by the critics that ladies won’t find any pleasure in wearing them. History proved them wrong and Emily Adams is one of the artists who celebrate the beauty of purses of more generous proportions.
