We’ve always needed bags! Our ‘hunter-gatherer’ instincts required imaginative receptacles that over time, have prioritised beauty over function. With V&A Guide Nikke Ariff, you will be exploring depictions of bags in paintings to sculpture; all functional but subtly conveying the status of the owner through materials or embellishment.
Tour end times are approximate and may vary to what is shown. Optional light refreshments will be served after the tour in the Members' Room. Please note this tour includes walking and stairs, please contact the Membership Events team directly with any questions about accessibility.
