1000. Hollywood, Celebrity and Society Handbags By the classic definition a handbag is a small bag, with or without a strap or handle, used by women to carry personal items such as keys, money, and cosmetics. It is also known as, or called, a purse. These handbags, however, defy all definition. Ranging in size from large to small, designed by well-known designers such as Celine, Hogan, Coach, Chanel, and Kidrobot and crafted of materials from leather to metal to silk, these bags are not defined by ordinary standards. Rather, these bags are defined by the women who once owned them. Women who are celebrities and socialites in Hollywood. Our newest addition to the auction line-up, the Hollywood, Celebrity and Society Handbags Collection features handbags that have been carefully selected by their famous owners and donated to The Race To Erase MS so that we may present them to you for auction. Stars such as Scarlett Johansson, Nicole Richie and Sarah Jessica Parker, known for their fashion flair, are often the ones who define a look for an entire season.
