Sketch of 2 women in a travel motif, with a drawing of a plane behind them. One wears a knee-length coat with fur around the collar and cuffs, tie-closure. The other wears wide legged cuffed pants and a hip length checkered jacket. This is the cut-out of the advertisement, and the copy reads, There is no excitement like the first Fall shipment of those beautiful leathers and suedes from Bonnie Cashin! Bonnie Cashin (September 28, ca. 1908� February 3, 2000) was an American designer and is considered one of the pioneering designers of American sportswear. She created practical, uncomplicated clothing that catered to the independent woman of the post-war era. . Cashin is often cited creating both the concept of layering clothing and for coining the term. The idea of layering came from time she spent in Asia. Her use of leather, mohair and hardware was pioneering and the brass turnlocks that kept the top of her 1940s convertible down became a signature feature of Coach handbags.
