The Hendrikje Bag Museum is a popular Dutch museum entirely dedicated to all sorts of bags, purses and redicules. The Hendrikje Museum is located in a prestigious area of Amsterdam, and its exposition is considered the largest in the world among all collections of museums of this subject.

The handbag museum was founded by a simple Dutch woman named Hendrikje Ivo, whose passion for collecting handbags was the impetus for the creation of such a specialized exhibition. Initially, the collection was located right on the grounds of Villa Hendrikje in the city of Amstelveen, but in 2007 the museum moved to a luxurious mansion in the center of Amsterdam. Today, the museum collection includes more than three and a half thousand exhibits, the oldest of which date back to the 16th century.

Of course, the vast majority of visitors to the Hendrikje Museum are women. A huge variety of styles of local purses and purses leads the ladies to delight. Also, in addition to valuable medieval reedicules made of made leather, the collection of the museum presents quite modern women's handbags from the most prestigious world brands - such as Chanel or Hermes.
