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 emphasises the delicate needlework involved. Each bag, often adorned with fine silk or cotton threads, is a labour of love - a unique and luxurious accessory. Symbolising both craftsmanship and history, petit point bags gained popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries and remain treasured heirlooms passed down through the years.
