"One of Chanel's economy ideas for this season is the matching accessory set of hat, handbag, gloves, and neck ruffle—in themselves enough to impart distinction to any "little" black or navy frock.
This set is shown in the popular white pique, which has the added advantage of laundering perfectly. I know of
several women owning white cotton hats who send them to the laundry quite calmly, and get them back looking like new. Although white is regarded as the smartest, some women prefer these sets in pale rose, pastel blue or green."
