Description
Step into the shoes of a medieval traveler with this handmade leather belt pouch, designed after the purses worn by townsfolk, traders, and wanderers in the late Middle Ages. Before pockets became common, such pouches were indispensable for holding coins, tokens, and small personal items while leaving hands free.
Made from 3 mm thick genuine leather, this pouch balances toughness with flexibility, ensuring it ages beautifully as it develops a natural patina over time. The front is embellished with an antique brass disc ornament, echoing the ornate metalwork traditions of 14th–15th century Europe.
The swing clasp fastening, crafted in antiqued brass, provides both security and elegance, keeping your belongings safe during journeys or lively market days. Designed to slide easily onto most belts, it complements historical outfits and adds authenticity to any medieval kit.
Far more than just a storage piece, such pouches were also subtle status symbols. Decorative fittings signified craftsmanship and refinement, marking the wearer as someone of taste and means—whether a merchant on the road or a questing traveler seeking fortune.
