From the momentous invention of the needle some 40,000 years ago to the development of blue denim, from Neolithic weavers to the biggest names in the fashion industry today, this classic guide covers the landmarks of costume history. Costume and Fashion explores the forms and materials used in fashion through the ages, the underlying motives of fashion, and the ways in which clothes have been used to protect, express identity, and attract or influence others.

This updated sixth edition features a new foreword and concluding chapter by Amy de la Haye and a new discussion about the major political shifts within the fashion industry, highlighting how it has responded to issues surrounding racism and sexism, LGBTQIA rights, mental health awareness, body and age diversity, and global sustainability. Generously illustrated with paintings, drawings, and photographs, and with a new angle on the emergence of ethical fashion, Costume and Fashion feels more current than ever.

Lighter than pictured, but I still like it. Mine arrived with some minor damage.
Color: Beige, Color: Beige
Update: I ended up returning the item since I couldn't justify keeping something that cost close to $40 and came with rips and damage. I was on the hunt for an oversized clutch that could hold a small cropped sweater for an upcoming outdoor wedding. I wanted a taupe/pinky beige color bag and thought this looked like the perfect color in the photo. Now that I've received it I can see that it's definitely more yellow-toned beige color and lighter than the shade shown. Still a nice clutch though and I bay still be using it for the wedding. It has a nice magnetic closer that keeps it folded in place. The included gold chain shoulder strap is super cheap looking and I won't be using it, but nice to have for someone in a pinch who is sick of carrying the purse around. Material is a nice faux leather and looks very similar to a legit Italian leather purse I own. My purse did arrive with some rips on a top seam and an indent in the front of the material. Not sure if I'll go through the hassle of exchanging or not, but definitely look your bag over once it arrives. I included photos with a standard deodorant for scale. The inside is wider than most foldover or envelope style clutches which is exactly what I wanted. Easily holds my phone, small wallet, some makeup items, a small bottle of ibuprofen, and a thin/light material sweater without looking bulky.

Ummm, yeah no. So it’s a cute bag, I would have said decent quality for the price until I saw the scratches. The chain is weak and the bag does not stay folded when using the chain. Super bummed, I liked this style 🥺
