Pineapple Reticule, or Bag. A knitted pineapple with long strings. In Jane Austen&#8217;s times, pineapples were a luxury imported item that most people in Great Britain had never seen, let alone tasted. When more pineapples were imported from hotter countries, or English gardeners started to grow some, pineapples became a much desired novelty and an exotic experience. Pineapple motifs appeared on dresses, furniture, household goods etc. Knitting pineapple reticules was part of this obsession with pineapples. via Kyoto Museum, Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Definition Ridicule, Reticule, Indispensable, or Handbag:<\/strong> From the late 1700s, pockets could no longer be sewn into gowns, as skirts fell from just under the bust and were full and flowing. Instead, women began carrying small bags, known at first as ridicules and later as reticules, to keep necessary items on their person e.g. handkerchiefs, coins, vinaigrettes, calling cards, glasses etc.  <a href=\"http:\/\/books2read.com\/suziloveReticules\">http:\/\/books2read.com\/suziloveReticules<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><a href=\"books2read.com\/suziloveReticules\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/suzilove.files.wordpress.com\/2021\/03\/1800-1810_reticuleorbag_knitted-pineapple-with-long-strings.-via-kyoto-museum_sml.jpg?w=490\" alt=\"1800-1810 ca.

Reticule, or Bag.

Early bags were circular and with a drawstring but as women wanted their reticules to look individual they could be made with two halves and a hinged metal closure or with concertina sides. Materials varied from silk, cotton and string and shapes were round, hexagonal or lozenge shapes with shell shaped bags becoming very popular during the Regency and Romantic Eras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1800s magazines were written for well bred women who could read, so they gave plenty of ideas for how ladies could make and embellish reticules for their own use and as pretty gifts. Needlework was highly encouraged as a pastime for a lady so bags were frequently embroidered or decorated with beading. By the 1820s, reticules became more like our modern handbags using soft leather gathered at the top or hard leather with a rigid fastener and metal chain for carrying.<\/p>\n\n\n<span class='bctt-click-to-tweet'><span class='bctt-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.suzilove.com%2F%3Fp%3D18916&#038;text=1800-1810%20ca.%20Knitted%20Pineapple%20Reticule%2C%20or%20Bag.%20Style%20of%20handbag%20made%20by%20women%20known%20to%20Jane%20Austen%20and%20Bridgertons%20%23JaneAusten%20%23Reticule%20%23Francehttp%3A%2F%2Fbooks2read.com%2FsuziloveReticules&#038;via=SuziLove&#038;related=SuziLove' target='_blank'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1800-1810 ca.

I now live in a sunny part of Australia after spending many years in developing countries in the South Pacific. My greatest loves are traveling, anywhere and everywhere, meeting crazy characters, and visiting the Australian outback. I hope my books bring history alive and you have fun adventuring with my roguish heroes and feisty heroines.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.suzilove.com","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=1795828726","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/suzi_love_oz\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/suziloveauthor","https:\/\/www.pinterest.com.au\/suziloveoz","https:\/\/x.com\/SuziLove","https:\/\/www.tumblr.com\/blog\/suziloveuniverse"],"url":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?author=1"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18916"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18916\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34558,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18916\/revisions\/34558"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
