In this startling book an everyday artifact is discovered as art. Ninety-two extraordinary full-color photographs show how this once mass-produced article-the plastic pocketbook American girls and women carried in the late 1940s and 1950s-can now, decades later, be perceived as a unique expression of a daring and provocative aesthetic.
The plastic pocketbook was born out of war-time technology; its original "designers" were manufacturers of World War II plastic parts; its "designs" broke all fashion rules. As impractical as the bags tended to be and despite their total departure from the standard idea of a handbag they were all the rage during the conformist 1950S.
