Two-Colour Drawstring Belt Pouch

Two-Colour Medieval Soft Leather Drawstring Belt Pouch

Historical Context and Practical Use

Simple drawstring pouches featuring a panelled construction were among the most common and practical accessories throughout the Middle Ages and the early modern period. In eras when pockets were not a standard part of outer garments, a leather bag hung from a belt was the best way to carry daily necessities, coins, or a fire striker. Today, you can perfectly utilise this historical coin purse at period encampments, during LARP events, reenactments, or as a reliable bag for your favourite gaming dice. The pouch opens and closes easily by pulling the leather thongs, which you can then secure with a knot or tie safely directly to your belt.

Proper Care for Leather Accessories

For the pouch to serve you for many years and for the leather to permanently retain its exceptional softness and flexibility, proper care is essential. We recommend occasionally treating the leather with a high-quality beeswax-based balm. Never wash the pouch in a washing machine, do not soak it, and do not dry it on a radiator or near an open fire. Rapid drying could cause irreversible hardening and cracking of the natural material. If your pouch gets wet during an event, simply let it dry naturally at normal room temperature.

For a safe and historically accurate suspension of this pouch on your costume, we recommend purchasing a robust leather belt from our wide range of historical accessories.
