Among the newcomers at Accessories The Show was handbag firm Poesis, which launched the Geometric Collection, a new line of handbags in square and rectangle shapes, a small clutch and a new circular shape reminiscent of a hat box.

Prints include zebra, French script, polkadots and argyle, with contrasting toile lining. Poesis wholesales from $45 to $80. The firm sells to about 100 high-end specialty stores, and this month is opening its first freestanding unit at 20 East Main Street in Richmond, VA.
