Medieval Leather Belt Pouch | Antique Brass Button
Practical Design and Honest Craftsmanship
The pouch is constructed to withstand the rigours of travel and the battlefield. The body consists of soft leather that adapts to the contents, creating a voluminous bag, while the front panel and flap are made of stiffer leather to maintain shape. The closure is cleverly and simply solved using a leather cord that hooks around the decorative brass button with a floral motif. This system is silent and reliable.
On the back, there is a wide loop, allowing you to slide the pouch onto very wide medieval belts (up to 3 inches wide). The interior space is large enough to store essentials such as flint, coins, or – let's be honest – modern keys and a mobile phone, keeping them hidden from the eyes of spectators.
Historical Context
In the Middle Ages, clothing did not have pockets as we know them today. All small items were carried in pouches and bags suspended from the belt. This type of pouch, combining a soft bag with a firm lid, was popular across centuries. They were worn by men and women of all social classes, from simple peasants to burghers. Decorative fittings, like the button used here, often indicated the wearer's wealth.

Leather Care Instructions
To ensure the pouch serves you for many years, it requires occasional care. Leather is a natural material that can dry out over time.
- Maintenance: Treat the leather at least once a year with a high-quality leather balm or beeswax. This keeps it supple and resistant to moisture.
- Cleaning: Remove dirt with a damp cloth. Never wash the pouch in a washing machine or dry it near a direct heat source (radiator, fire) to prevent the leather from cracking.
- Brass: Metal elements may develop a patina over time. If you prefer a shine, you can polish them with a brass cleaner, but be careful not to stain the surrounding leather.
