LATEST LONDON NOVELTY
WOODEN HANDBAGS Handbags of wood are the latest fashion. These new pochettes are in every shape and size and are made of thin wood in a pleasant shade of greybrown. yLong and narrow, square and envelope-shaped, with sides and trimmings of contracting coloured leather, they are expected to be the rage of London and Paris. They are Britishpiade, but have been eagerly bought- for Paris. The clasps are of metal. The idea for the racing pochette is to have the leather to match the tailored suit. One long thin shape in wood has the leather parts and silk inner linings in the new dark red. Another, in a curious round shape, is contrasted witji choco-late-coloured leather.
Larger shapes on the same lines are very attractive. For motoring or a day's shopping these new handbags—almost miniature dressing-bags—are smart and practical, being capable of holding many things besides purse, mirror and powder-puff.
