Perhaps I've just missed your point. Sorry. But the Margaret of Burgundy picture shows a bag with the hair contained beneath it, although bigger than the Gossaert example you gave. Very closely related, so far as I can see.
I've seen the portrait in person. It appears to me to show a large, dark, matt fabric bag with a web/lattice of a multi-ply gold cording. The paint of the cord is very badly worn on the top & back of her head, but shows fairly well towards the bottom of the bag. And the shape of the 'headband' parts are very close indeed.
