History of Artefact	Her grandma used it as a young lady. It was used when attending parties or evening events. She gave it to me ten years ago. She lived in Portsmouth when she was a little girl. During the war she was sent to Andover for four or five years.

Special Memories	'It reminds me of grandma's house and searching through wardrobes when I was a little girl. There were lots of shoes, hats, jewellery and special treasures that I used to find. When I use the bag, it returns me to me childhood - a warm and safe feeling. It always reminds me of my grandma as well. I use the bag occasionally as it's very delicate.'
