Drawstring Pouch with Decorative Brass Rivets

Medieval Soft Leather Drawstring Pouch with Decorative Brass Rivets

Historical Context and Practical Use

During the Middle Ages and the early modern period, when clothing typically lacked pockets, such drawstring bags were an essential part of daily life. They were suspended from a belt and used to carry coins, a fire striker, tinder, or other small valuables. The brass rivets on this pouch serve not only an aesthetic purpose but also a structural one. Today, you will perfectly utilise this pouch at historical battles, LARP events, or encampments. It is absolutely ideal for discreetly hiding modern items that would otherwise disrupt the atmosphere of your carefully assembled historical attire, or as a luxurious container for your gaming dice.

Proper Care for Natural Leather

For the pouch to last you a long time and for the leather to retain its exceptional softness and flexibility, proper care is necessary. Treat the leather occasionally with a high-quality beeswax-based balm. Never wash the pouch in a washing machine, do not soak it, and do not dry it near sources of radiant heat, such as a radiator or an open fire. Rapid drying would lead to the natural leather cracking. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally at standard room temperature.

To go with this pouch, we recommend acquiring a robust leather belt from our wide range of historical accessories, from which you can comfortably and safely suspend the bag.

Minor variations in colour and surface texture are its natural characteristics and are not considered a defect. These slight imperfections in no way reduce the utilitarian value of the product. Thanks to these nuances, each manufactured piece is, to a certain extent, a unique original.
