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.
