(August 1942 "Luggage & Leather Goods," page 35 Dramatize Fall Bags To Wear With Coats "With shoppers being advised from every angle to choose their clothes and accessories with great care, it is quite obvious that handbag customers will be super-critical this fall. A type of hag equally smart with new fall dresses and also with a fur or fur-trimmed coat, will be in demand by women who plan and select their wardrobes early in the season.\\ Many women prefer a top handle bag to wear with a fur coat, believing that the underarm type rubs the fur. Whether or not such is the case, we must cater to this whim. A pannier type of handle serves double duty as. it can also be worn as an underarm. Another versatile handle bag is the one shown here with prystal loops. These may be dropped down over the top of the bag making it an attractive underarm.\\ Stress quality in early fall handbag merchandising. Tell customers that large", practical, sturdy bags like these will see them smartly through fall and winter. Play up your bags, with soft shirring as the perfect complements to simple straight line coats which are a result of government restrictions.\\  Top zipper underarm of genuine alligator. "V" shaped stitching forms a simple pattern on both sides. Shown in wide color range. Especially good with sports coats in wool or fur. From H. Margolin.
