The filet crochet ground, worked in a fine mesh with a pattern picked out in solid stitches, is a technique that stayed popular across decades, so the dating here leans on the saturated peach yarn, a colour more typical of the synthetic-friendly dye ranges from the 1950s onward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is worked in filet mesh with a subtle pattern built into the solid squares, bordered on all four sides by a solid band of the same peach, and finished with a matching looped scallop edge. What it was originally meant to hold is anyone's guess now, a hanky, a keepsake, a small gift, but the drawstring closure and the care in the trim suggest it was made to be looked at as much as used.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"caitiedid","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44198527434886,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0657\/5960\/8966\/files\/DSC_4356_2c16eb1c-d27d-4d56-bb94-481e2a84e052.jpg?v=1785393095","url":"https:\/\/checkout.caitiedid.shop\/products\/peach-loop-handmade-vintage-filet-crochet-pouch","provider":"caitiedid","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
