Large Leather Belt Pouch “The Merchant”, Brown
A Spacious and Secure Companion for Your Travels
The pouch offers one large main compartment that holds much more than just a few coins. You can easily fit your phone, a larger wallet, keys, or even a small snack inside. The closure, featuring two separate straps with durable brass-alloy buckles, not only looks great but also makes it difficult for any pickpockets to access your valuables. Wide loops on the back guarantee that the pouch sits stably on your belt and won't swing uncomfortably, even during quicker movements.
The Pockets of the Middle Ages
Before pockets became a common feature of clothing, belt pouches and bags were absolutely indispensable for people of all social classes. They were used to carry coins, personal items, tools, a tinderbox, and food. For merchants and pilgrims on long journeys, a large, sturdy pouch was one of the most important pieces of equipment. Its contents often decided the success of a trade or survival in the wilderness.
Interesting Fact: Security Against Cutpurses
Bustling medieval cities and markets were rife with cutpurses who could sever a money pouch from a belt with a single swift slice. More complex and robust pouches, like this one with two buckles, offered a significantly higher level of security. A potential thief would have to unfasten both buckles, which was time-consuming and risky, leading them to seek an easier target instead.

Care to Ensure a Long Lifespan
This pouch is built to last. To maintain its beauty and the suppleness of the leather, we recommend treating it regularly with a leather balm or conditioner. This will prevent it from drying out and cracking. If it gets dirty, simply wipe it with a damp cloth. If it gets wet, let it air dry at room temperature, never near a source of heat. The buckles can be polished with a metal polishing cloth if needed.
