Devorah Senkman, of Devorah's in

black and crystal beads.
shoulder bags.
New looks include leather bags em-
bossed with patterns, and multi-colored
tapestry bags. Baggit also has some
long, rectangular shoulder bags with
snaps and buckles in bright colors like
cobalt blue and shocking pink.
"Another new look is the Drury
bag," says Singer. These bags have
a frame with a handle, and come in
small and medium sizes.
Snakeskins, wovens and lizard bags
are still fashionable. "We have an ex-
clusive line from Italy," remarks Singer.
Esther and Estelle's has pressed skin
bags in bright red and yellow.
Evening handbags tend to be glit-
tery. They are coated with rhinestones,
beads and pearls. Small miniaudiers
shimmer in silver, bronze and gold;
some are decorated with sequins or
jewels, and one resembles a mirror.
