A charming selection of Art Deco bags and other accessories for you to study. This illustration is taken from a ladies magazine dated 21st July 1926.

As you can see from the illustration, the fashion for the summer season of 1926 was all for glitter and pearls. Wealthy ladies heading for the fashionable resorts of the south of France would cover themselves from head to toe in jewels, both real and fake. 

Diamante was used on headbands, bracelets, bags, shoe buckles and compacts. Pearls were worn in long strings draped around the neck. The bags they carried were exquisite; made of fine pearls, tapestry and beadwork, decorated with the new Art Deco designs. Flimsy shawls of lace or gauze and large velvet roses completed the look.
