She works from color and texture and builds layers of simple shapes in jerseys, tweeds, leathers and canvas, which are manufactured by Philip Sills, as are her hats—many of which are shaped like paper bags or shower caps. Her leather shopping bags, which she calls "Cashin-Carrys," are made by Coach Leatherware, and her Rainy-Day clothes, such as the cape at left, by Modelia. Of all American designers, Miss Cashin's work is probably best known abroad, particularly in London. She spends half her year in travel and has become the master equipper of all travelers. Her inventions include lap robes in tweeds or furs to match her coats and suits and, as fittings for her catchall handbags, different-colored cases for various currencies, notebooks, eyeglasses, passports and tickets. A fully organized Cashin traveler looks as efficiently engineered as a jet airplane.
