    Approximately twenty-two handbags by luxury handbag designer Judith Leiber including a selection of her renowned minaudières, small, crystal encrusted handbags presented in a variety of unique shapes. In the world of high fashion handbags in the 1950s and 60s, Leiber became known as the only person who could design and make a handbag from conception to magnificent finished product. Today her handbags are considered unique works of art and are included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Smithsonian Institution, and many other major collections. Leiber has received numerous awards and recognition for her work including being the first and only designer in her field to receive the Coty Award (1973) and receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion Designers (1994). The exhibition is held in conjunction with Moore's 2010 Visionary Woman Awards.
