Description of the Product

Bags attached to belts have been in use since antiquity in many cultures. As pockets are a quite recent innovation, this pouch is a welcome addition for any historical outfit, giving it a layer of realism and practicality.

A little bag of leather for carrying money was called a purse, bourse, pusa or posi, among others, all deriving from the Greek and Latin words byrsa/bursa for a hide or leather. A sign of a purse was hung outside a meeting place for merchants, and from there the word bourse became synonymous with the stock exchange. So as in a simple piece of leather you have the beginnings of a stock market, so can a penny saved in this purse be turned into a million in a bourse.

During the Middle Ages both men and women used small drawstring pouches, called aûmonière, for the keeping of alms. As Christians, they were instructed by the New Testament to: “Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.” These alm purses could be attached to the belt with hooks, or simply tied on. They were made of plain fabric or soft leather, and could be embroidered or decorated.

This little pouch is made of soft suede leather and is perfect for taking along your money, your tinderbox, your handkerchief or any other small essentials wherever the adventure leads you. This handy extra pocket can be attached to the belt from the leather tightening straps.

  • Diameter approx 8,5 cm
  • Height approx. 12 cm
  • Made of suede leather
  • Available in brown and black

    Juuri sopivan kokoinen. Harmi että otin mustan, täytynee ostaa myöhemmin myös ruskea. Riimu-pussiksi laitan❣️

    Erinomainen tuote, johon mahtuu aimo kourallinen kolikoita roolipelejä tai elävöitysnäytöksiä varten. Itse tilasin heti useamman. Suosittelen!

    Laadukasta nahkaa ja tukevasti ommeltu, joten tämä pussi kestää isoisältä pojanpojalle! Juuri sopivan kokoinen mahtuakseen taskuun, mutta riittävän iso monenlaiseen käyttöön. Olisi pitänyt tilata kerralla useampi.

    Todella hyvin tehty pussi. Tulentekovälineet ja sytykkeet mahtuvat sopivasti sisään.

    Vahvaa nahkaa ja laadukas ompelu, tarpeeksi tilava useidenkin pienesineiden säilytykseen.

    I purchased two of these for decoration on a wizard outfit I am working on and they are great.

    Good quality and bigger than I expected.

    One weird thing is that one has a texture similar to the inside of a pocket, and the other one doesn’t.
    Nothing that bothers me but I feel like it should be mentioned.

Super impressed! I'll admit I'm no historian, but the cloak I purchased was both fashionable and practical! In my search for historical clothing that's more than just a cheap costume, I believe I've found my place :) Delivery for me was fast - only two working days to receive it! Though I am in Finland. Will definitely be buying from here again :)

Heb bij hun via internet een replica van een romeinse helm gekocht. Was precies zoals getoond op hun internet site. Ze zijn snel en correct in hun communicatie en levering.
