Bmmm I Time was when a schoolbag was for carrying your lunch in, and for swinging at your mates to show how much you liked them. But the schoolbag has just jumped through many grades to become the naw look in high fashion accessories. BAGATELLE has these latest variations in grained leather and suede. There are three 'schoolbag' styles — the largest is square-edged, with two exterior pockets (buckled) and requisite flap closure; the other two are smaller, in more rounded shape. Colours include black, teak, granite (leather), navy and buff (suede). BAGATELLE also has a delightful new selection of Italian square woollen scarves. I They're very fine, fringed and elegant in geometries, paisleys and florals. BAGATELLE, Merivale Mall, Ph. 557-534, Chancery Lane, Ph. 790-130, Cashfields, Ph. 66-934. [ BATH There has been a literal review of the situation for BATH REVIEW. This specialty boutique has just shifted to a larger, lighter and more spacious showroom at 186 A Papanui Rd, opposite the Merivale Mall. All the bathroom fittings and accessories from the former premises are now in place, and new stocks are expected daily. There are sturdy and attractive cane towel racks on I display, and some most appealing pine bathroom fittings, such as soap dish holders, clothes hooks, toothbrush racks, toilet roll holders and towel rails. BATH REVIEW has a new range of Sheridan lead-weighted shower curtains, in both plain coloured and patterned varieties. Ideal gifts are the boxed pairs of towels, "His" and "Hers" printed or plain.
