Let's make the Rijksmuseum Reticule AKA Regency Handbag with its Hidden Sides (+ history of pockets)

Thank you to today's sponsor- ME! I have a book coming out and you can preorder it at https://honesthistory.co/pages/histor...

In today's video, I re-make the Rijksmuseum Reticule and talk about the history of pockets from the 17th century on. And yes, I am aware that they also had pockets and pocket bags in earlier centuries but I chose to focus on this century and later since this is where we have extant examples to study.

Thank you so much to everyone at the Rijksmuseum for letting me come and study the garments up close and for my friends for coming with me!
