Medieval Leather Belt Pouch with Brass Swing Clasp

A Closer Look at Your Pouch

The pouch features a simple yet functional rectangular design with rounded bottom corners. Its most prominent feature is undoubtedly the front flap, which is adorned with two striking elements. The first is a decorative brass stud with a circular motif, adding a touch of distinction. The second is the fastening itself—an elegant swing clasp in an antique brass finish. This type of clasp not only looks superb but is also highly practical, reliably keeping the pouch's contents secure. The rear of the pouch has a sturdy leather loop, allowing it to be worn on belts up to 7 cm wide. It is available in black and dark brown colour options.

A Practical Companion for Any Quest

Simply slide the pouch onto your belt to keep your hands free and your essentials within easy reach. Its dimensions make it perfect for storing coins, keys, a mobile phone, or cards. Whether you're heading to a market, joining a LARP battle, or simply taking a stroll through town, this pouch will become your faithful companion.

Back to the Late Middle Ages

During the late medieval period (14th–15th centuries), belt pouches and purses were an absolute necessity, as garments did not yet have integrated pockets. They were worn by people from all walks of life—from peasants and artisans to merchants and nobility. They were used to carry coins, personal seals, small knives, and other small items of daily use.

A Historical Tidbit

The craftsmanship and decoration of a pouch often spoke volumes about the social standing of its owner. While common folk had simple leather or cloth purses, wealthy townspeople and nobles could afford pouches adorned with intricate metalwork, embroidery, or even gemstones. A well-made pouch was therefore not just a practical item but also a status symbol.

Caring for Your Leather Pouch

To ensure your leather pouch retains its beauty for years to come, give it a little care.

• Protect the leather from prolonged exposure to moisture. If it gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature (never on a radiator!).
• To maintain its suppleness and protect the leather, occasionally treat it with a natural leather balm.
• Wipe away minor dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with a drop of mild soap.
• The brass fittings can be lightly polished if needed to maintain their antique lustre.
• You should never use harsh chemical cleaners or attempt to wash the pouch in a washing machine.
