Leather Drawstring Pouch

Simple draw string pouch in a supple leather that will fit coins, valuables or even a mobile phone. Such a simple design – it’s nearly ageless so anyone from Viking to Napoleonic could wear a purse like this. 

Medieval people didn’t have pockets in their clothing so they wore belt pouches often called at the time pockets and used them to carry all their daily essentials. Whether you are a living history purist or you like to carry your car keys, mobile phone and some loose change, these will suit.

Based a composite of examples from the amazing book ‘Purses in Pieces’ by Olaf Goubitz. 

Pouch height 20cm/8 inches 

Width 10cm/4 inches 

Please note: The colours may vary in tone from the photos here.  Each skin of leather is different and reacts differently to the dye so they may be darker or lighter in tone
