14th/15thC Incised Leather Belt Pouch

14th/15thC leather belt pouch with incised decoration and thong work to the front. Soft leather liner with a stitched hand opening a bit smaller than the width of the bag to put off those pesky cut purses and dippers. 

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. 

Width of pouch 21cm/8.75 inches 

Height of pouch excluding belt loops 14cm/5.5 inches 

Width of opening 15cm/6 inches 

Will suit belt widths up to 6cm/2.5 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
