Reticules, also called "indispensables", were bags gathered at the top with drawstring handles used to carry a few indispensable items such as money, smelling salts, pistol, etc. since fashions of the late 1880's had no pockets.

Dressy versions for special occasions were made with fabrics and trimmings to match their dresses. Reticules were also commonly used to carry needlework which one would take along on social calls.

Buckaroo Bobbins patterns are printed on paper for more durability and ease of use.
