| Description: | BAGGED BY THE CAMERA The latest ideas for handbags, purses and compacts. London. Various new handbags, purses and compacts are seen being used by models. The first handbag is in black suede, with a top piece that folds out to reveal three small mirrors "... so you can look at any part of your head, except inside", says the commentator. A vanity case-style handbag has several compartments for make-up, comb and perfume. Two novelty clutch bags are seen; one in suede has tiny charms all over it, the other is made of calfskin with a newspaper print. A tiny cocktail purse or compact is decorated with the names of different drinks; two similar purses have the names of writers and playing cards on them. Another compact has a clock face on it "to make sure you won't be more than half an hour late". A woman opens the compact and powders her nose. | |
