The Big Bag Is Back (1)
(top) The big beautiful bag that goes with you all day, every day, in town. Flat, expansible, like a portfolio; black calfskin; by Bienen-Davis. Lawrence Gaines's narrow black wool suit with curling collar, Lord & Taylor. Curled vine pin, by Trifari, suède gauntlet gloves, by Fira Krasotkin.
(below) For evening—any evening: a double envelope, black velvet, jet-embroidered; about as flat as what goes in it. By Surrey. Perhaps your most important gloves: long, black, glacé kidskin; by WearRight, The Tailored Woman. Rhinestone tree pin, Hattie Carnegie.
