New Bag and Choker Sets Introduced Here by Whiting & Davis

The Whiting & Davis Co. has announced to the costume jewelry trade a new feature style specialty in the form of matched costume-bag-and-choker sets, thus introducing to the American market the fashion sponsored by Chanel in Paris. Taking advantage of their close contacts with Parisian developments, the Whiting & Davis firm began rush work on the new specialty lines immediately, when it was found that the Chanel idea had “caught on” in Continental circles.

The new costume-bag-and-choker sets are specially boxed in large flat boxes which include both bag and choker mounted on quilted moiré mats, the bag being fixed in the center and the choker-necklace in matching colors hanging over it from loops at the top of the mat.
