Easter styles for 1942 are introduced in the February 1942 Luggage & Leather Goods, page 42. Emphasis is on "Morale! . . . one of the most important words in our vocabulary today. What has it to do with the handbag department ? Plenty, we say! It's the gay novelties that lift many a spirit out of the doldrums. Handbags this season will play their part in adding color and life to even the most tailored costume."

"Shiny and dull contrast makes this top handle bag unusual and attractive. Genuine patent forms the center and soft black cape the shirred side pieces. Has an inside zipper and prystal lock. This retails at $2.95 and is featured by Triangle Leather Goods Company."
