The Iroquois at the time were up by the Niagara Falls area and they made these items specifically to sell to visitors in the area. Iroquois bags and purses were most popular at that time. The materials used are commercial silk, cotton cloth, and glass beads. Some may also have paper in the lining and silver beads.

Iroquois beaded bags (also known as Haudenosaunee beaded bags) are exquisite examples of Native American artistry from the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) people, primarily created by women in regions like upstate New York and southern Canada.These small purses or pouches, often made from cloth like velvet, silk, or wool backed with cotton or linen, feature intricate glass beadwork in vibrant colors. They typically measure around 57 inches and include elements like drawstrings, fringes, or straps.The tradition evolved from pre-contact quillwork on hide to European-influenced glass bead embroidery in the late 18th century.
