Around 1900 there was an attempt to professionalise ‘feminine’ handicrafts. The idea was that emancipated craftswomen would be able to earn a living from these crafts. They undertook serious research into historical and exotic textile crafts. This bag made from Egyptian wickerwork was probably made by Elisabeth Sieuwertsz van Reesema, who devoted her life to achieving this ideal.
