A Glimpse into History: Pouches and Bags Through the Ages

Usage in the Past

For centuries, pouches and bags worn on the belt were an absolutely common and indispensable part of men's and women's attire. Before the invention of pockets in clothing as we know them today, they were used to store coins, small personal items, amulets, herbs, tinderboxes, or small tools. Their design, material, and decoration often reflected the owner's social status. From simple leather or fabric bags for common folk to richly decorated pouches for nobility, the belt pouch was both a practical and symbolic item.

An Interesting Historical Fact

One of the oldest pieces of evidence for the use of belt pouches comes from the discovery of Ötzi the Iceman, a man who lived around 3300 BC. Among his equipment was a calfskin pouch attached to his belt, in which he kept flint, a bone awl, and tinder. This demonstrates how far back the need to carry important small items securely dates.

How to Use and Care for Your Pouch

Practical Uses

This wool pouch is ideal for wearing at historical events, LARPs, fantasy festivals, markets, or even as an original accessory for everyday wear if you appreciate a historical style. You can carry your mobile phone, wallet, keys, dice, small game props, or any other treasures you need to keep handy. The sturdy belt loop ensures the pouch will stay securely on your belt.

Caring for Your Wool Pouch

To ensure your pouch lasts a long time and retains its beauty, give it proper care:

• Wool does not need frequent washing. Usually, airing the pouch out in fresh air is sufficient.
• If soiled, we recommend hand washing in lukewarm water (max 30°C / 86°F) using a mild detergent specifically designed for wool, ideally one containing lanolin.
• Gently squeeze the pouch in the water; do not rub or wring.
• After washing, gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring) and dry flat on a towel, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Do not iron.

What to Avoid

Definitely do not machine wash or tumble dry the pouch, as this could cause it to shrink and felt. Also, avoid using harsh bleaches or fabric softeners. Do not overload the pouch with excessively heavy or sharp objects that could damage the material or seams. Protect it from open flames and prolonged exposure to moisture without the ability to dry properly.
