Medieval Leather Belt Pouch 'Merchant' with Wide Panel, Brown
A Thoughtful Design for Maximum Comfort
This leather pouch was created with practicality and long-term wear in mind. Forget small, narrow belt loops. The wide suspension panel, through which you slide your belt, ensures the pouch stays exactly where it should be. Its contents – whether coins, a phone, keys, or in-game items – won't turn into a distracting pendulum. The pouch itself offers ample space and closes securely with an elegantly shaped flap featuring a strap and a brass buckle. The strong, hand-stitched edges guarantee durability even with heavy use.
How to Wear the Pouch
Using it is perfectly simple. You just slide your existing belt (not included) through the tunnel in the pouch's wide back panel. Then, you fasten your belt as usual. The pouch will cling to your hip, becoming a stable part of your attire. This method of wearing is not only more comfortable but also more historically plausible for medieval and renaissance costumes from the 12th to 15th centuries.
A Glimpse into History: The Evolution of Belt Pouches
In the Middle Ages, when clothing had no pockets, a belt pouch was an indispensable accessory for everyone. While simple purses were sufficient for a few coins, people who needed to carry more items – such as traders, messengers, or artisans – required more robust and stable solutions. A construction with a wider suspension panel that better distributed weight was a logical step forward. It ensured that even a fully loaded utility pouch did not get in the way while walking, riding a horse, or working.

Care for Your Leather Product
To ensure your pouch lasts for many seasons, give it a little care. Store it in a dry, cool place. To clean, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Occasionally treat the leather with a natural leather balm or conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture.
Please Note: This is a handcrafted product made from genuine leather. Minor variations in texture and colour tone are natural characteristics of the material and add to the uniqueness of each piece. The belt shown in the photos is for illustrative purposes only and is not included with the product.
