Originating as a Twitter trend, Fashion Friday (or really, #FashionFriday) has spilled out across the blogosphere, making Friday not just the day to celebrate the start of the weekend (#TGIF) but the day to recognize the trends that shape our times. Naturally at The Manhattan Art & Antique Center, we ascribe to the philosophy of the great fashion maven, Coco Chanel, which is “fashion fades, only style remains the same.” In that spirit, we present 15 handbags and purses by designers who are ever in style. To see more luxury handbags that have stood the test of fashion time, visit Treasures & Pleasures.
