Versatile Use in History and Today

For centuries, belt pouches and bags were an indispensable part of clothing. Before the invention of pockets, they were used to carry coins, personal trinkets, herbs, or amulets. You can use this canvas pouch in many ways:

• For Historical Events and LARP: Ideal for storing game currency, dice, small props, or personal items without disrupting the atmosphere with modern accessories.
• At Festivals and Markets: A stylish way to keep your wallet and phone handy.
• For Fantasy Fans and Reenactment: Completes your costume and adds to its authenticity.
• Everyday Carry: If you appreciate unique accessories, you can also use it as a small pouch for keys or other essentials.

When using the pouch, be careful not to overload it with excessively heavy or sharp objects that could damage the fabric. Its primary purpose is to carry lighter personal belongings.

An Interesting Fact from History: Beware of Cutpurses!

In the Middle Ages and the early modern period, when pouches were commonly worn visibly on belts, they were an attractive target for "cutpurses." These thieves specialized in stealthily cutting the strings of a pouch from its owner's belt. It was because of them that more secure ways of carrying valuables gradually developed, such as more concealed pockets or sturdier attachments for money bags and pouches.

How to Care for Your New Pouch

To ensure your canvas pouch serves you for as long as possible and retains its beauty, follow a few simple care tips:

• Cleaning: For light soiling, spot cleaning is recommended. Use lukewarm water and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and bleach.
• Washing: If a full wash is necessary, hand wash only in cold or lukewarm water with a gentle detergent. Excessive scrubbing can damage the fabric's structure.
• Drying: Do not tumble dry the pouch. After washing, allow it to air dry, ideally laid flat or hung up, away from direct sunlight to prevent colours from fading.
• Storage: When not in use, store your pouch in a dry and clean place.

Definitely avoid overfilling the pouch with sharp objects without additional protection, as they could tear the fabric. Proper care will ensure that this reliable accessory brings you joy for many years.
