Victorian Black Silk Knitting Bag/Purse GREAT Silk Chintz Floral Lining This large bag was originally a knitting or sewing bag, as the average Victorian woman didn't need a large bag as a purse. Nevertheless, it would make a great modern purse, though you couldn't use it hard, since its delicate silk. It looks like black mourning silk clothing was made into this bad. The lining is the real star though. The handles are hard and covered, and the bag part alone measures app. 16" wide x 11" tall and about 3" deep.
