Unique drawstring handbag appears to have been created by a talented home needleworker. Ivory-colored wool yarn was crocheted in a ridged pattern. Top has two drawstrings so it’s easy to open and close. Unusual design looks like it has "shoulders" (see pictures). Bag measures 10.5 inches across the widest part by 8.5 inches high, including the top ruffle. Very good condition. Because it was made at home, it is difficult to be sure of its age, but I would guess that it dates from anywhere from the 1940s to the 1950s. Beginning in the 1960s, synthetic yarns became so popular that it is unlikely that a crocheter would choose wool for a purse.
Because it is wool, I am including a little lavender sachet that I have stored with it.
