Description:
Woman's U-shaped printed cotton, drawstring bag with "E x COUCHEE" (prob. just COUCHEE) printed in the fabric at the top near the drawstring opening. The body of the bag has an all-over printed design of alternating losenges in red and black against a white/off-white background. The sides of the bag are gathered, and are of a smaller printed design in the same colors. The bag is unlined. The thread used is a white cotton. The drawstring of the bag forms a single loop, and is likely linen. Good condition. Some general discoloration, with a concentration on one side.
