Once again, all images are from my Ackermann’s Repository collection, with a few contributions from the Lady’s Magazine, noted below. Lots more cute little drawstring closure-type bags, but some surprisingly modern looking ones as well. Happy accessorizing!

If I had a reticule, I hope it would be more roomy than the coin purse one! The first time I ever read the word reticule was in Tasha Alexander's mystery books about Lady Emily. Have you read them? :)
Elizabeth, I have an evening purse that looks like the shell one. :) I haven't read those books, but I'm going to check them out.
