This beautifully crocheted Victorian drawstring bag is also a piece of history. Over 100 years old, it is very well made of 100% cotton ecru crochet thread. When this was made, ladies only carried smelling salts (their corsets were so tight they often fainted!) and a handkerchief in their reticule.
The bag is unlined and the openings between the design might let a lipstick fall through, so you would have to be careful what you carried in it. A lip pot might be a better choice with this bag.
Even if you don't use the bag, it would be a wonderful addition to any collector's display.
