About Petit point bags -

'Petit point' bags, cherished for generations, are exquisite fashion accessories, intricately embroidered with scenes, floral patterns, or geometric designs on a fabric background. Derived from the French word for 'small point,' petit point emphasizes the delicate needlework involved. Each bag, often adorned with fine silk or cotton threads, is a labor of love—a unique and luxurious accessory. Symbolizing both craftsmanship and history, petit point bags gained popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries and remain treasured heirlooms passed down through the years.
