Period piece : women's' Victorian reticule (pouch), the fore-runner of the handbag in faux leather

This charming glimpse of the past is made of navy blue faux apparel leather. While women used to carry money and handkerchiefs in this reticule, current day women may want to use it as a jewelry case for travel. The purse chain is used as a handle or strap and is in keeping with times past.
