When World War II began, Judith began learning the craft of handbag making. At the height of the war when the Nazis occupied Budapest (her hometown), her family was forced into hiding and she was unable to continue making bags. But after the War was over, she was able to return home and work at a new handbag factory where her accessories reached a new level of complexity and style.
Judith’s most recognized bag is her Miniaudiere. This crystal bag (a substitute for an evening bag) is generally a hard outside case with compartments on the inside. Leiber’s design revolutionized the women’s handbag industry and formally established her reputation as a renowned designer.
