As women\u2019s tiny bags were mocked, or ridiculed, for being a useless fashion accessory carried outside when they were first used in the late 1700s, it\u2019s likely this is how the name \u2018ridicule\u2019 started. The later term \u2018reticule\u2019 derived from the Latin reticulum, meaning \u2018netted bag\u2019 and was applied when bags became larger and often made from netting. In the late 1700s and early 1800s, they were also known as indispensables as they carried all the personal items a lady needed upon her person every day. They were easily made by ladies, easy to carry and became an indispensable fashion accessory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the early nineteenth century, reticules started to look like future handbags as they were often made from rigid card or molded m\u00e2ch\u00e9 or card into a variety of shapes. 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%3D18925&#038;text=19th%20Century%20Early%20Silk%20Reticule%2C%20Or%20Bag%2C%20With%20Embroidered%20Flowers%20As%20Carried%20In%20Jane%20Austen%20Or%20Bridgerton%20Times.%20%20%23Bridgerton%20%23JaneAusten%20%23RegencyFashion%20%23Reticule%20%20http%3A%2F%2Fbooks2read.com%2FsuziloveReticules&#038;via=SuziLove&#038;related=SuziLove' target='_blank'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">19th Century Early Silk Reticule, Or Bag, With Embroidered Flowers As Carried In Jane Austen Or Bridgerton Times.  #Bridgerton #JaneAusten #RegencyFashion #Reticule  http:\/\/books2read.com\/suziloveReticules <\/a><\/span><a href='https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.suzilove.com%2F%3Fp%3D18925&#038;text=19th%20Century%20Early%20Silk%20Reticule%2C%20Or%20Bag%2C%20With%20Embroidered%20Flowers%20As%20Carried%20In%20Jane%20Austen%20Or%20Bridgerton%20Times.%20%20%23Bridgerton%20%23JaneAusten%20%23RegencyFashion%20%23Reticule%20%20http%3A%2F%2Fbooks2read.com%2FsuziloveReticules&#038;via=SuziLove&#038;related=SuziLove' target='_blank' class='bctt-ctt-btn'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><a href=\"http:\/\/books2read.com\/suziloveReticules\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/suzilove.files.wordpress.com\/2020\/04\/1e1c0-d2d_retailerbuylink_hn_3.png?w=852\" alt=\"HN _3_D2D_RetailerBuyLink\nhttp:\/\/books2read.com\/suziloveReticules\" class=\"wp-image-8383\" width=\"426\" height=\"198\"\/><\/a><figcaption>HN _3_D2D_RetailerBuyLink_HN_3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>19th Century Early Silk Reticule, Or Bag, With Embroidered Flowers As Carried In Jane Austen Or Bridgerton Times.  #Bridgerton #JaneAusten #RegencyFashion #Reticule  http:\/\/books2read.com\/suziloveReticules<\/p>\n <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?p=18925\"><span class=\"more-msg\">Continue reading &rarr;<\/span><\/a>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[964,553,1131,480,497,611,483,474,515,476,546,478,661,469],"tags":[470,1134,121,180,192,246,351,477,388,735],"class_list":["post-18925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1800s","category-1800s-womens-fashion","category-bridgerton","category-decorative-item","category-england","category-fashion-accessories","category-history","category-jane-austen","category-london","category-regency-era","category-regency-fashion","category-reticule-or-bag","category-sewing","category-suzi-love-images","tag-1800s-womens-fashion","tag-bridgerton","tag-british-history","tag-fashion-accessories","tag-france","tag-jane-austen","tag-regency-fashion","tag-reticule-or-bag","tag-sewing","tag-the-bowes-museum"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"Suzi Love","author_link":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/?author=1"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -

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\/18925","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=18925"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18925\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33692,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18925\/revisions\/33692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.suzilove.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
