The cutest folk bags and purses of the world

Every national costume in the world is complemented with accessories. And one of the main and most important accessories is a bag, pouch, or purse.

Sporran (Scotland)
The sporran is an important part of a Scottish male folk outfit. It is a belt-pouch worn with a kilt. The purpose of the sporran is to carry things (since the kilt is pocketless) and to keep the kilt in place. This bag is usually worn in the front, but during running, dancing, driving and other activities the pouch can be turned around the waist to hang on the hip. The sporran is attached to the belt with a help of a leather strap or chain. It can be made from various materials: leather, fur, animal skins, and fabric. The sporrans are usually very fine and embellished with metal decorations, tassels, embossing, etc. Often, men made the sporrans themselves because they wanted unicity.

Ukrainian wicker bag
Wicker shoulder bag made of bast (the bark of trees). It is called “naviska”. The size of naviska can be different. The traditional shape is when one of the flaps is longer and serves as a lid (as you can see on the photo).
This particular bag is from Rivne region of Ukraine (north-western part of the country). The end of the 19th – the beginning of the 20th century. Such bags made of bast are traditional for the wooded Northern Ukraine.

Traditional leather pouches from Hutsul region of Ukraine (Carpathian area). These pouches are called “kalytka”. They are small because these are vintage analogues of wallets, used to carry coins. They were attached to the belt and hung from it. Also, you see that kalytka pouches are richly adorned with metal decorations, tassels, etc.

Traditional leather shoulder bag called “tobivka” from Hutsul area (Carpathian region of Ukraine). It is modern but accurately made, just like authentic 19th- and 20th-century folk bags. In this period, tobivka bags gained this half-moon shape, while older Hutsul shoulder bags usually were rectangular. The bag is adorned with stamping on leather.
Exhibit of Yaremche Museum of Carpathian Region Ethnography and Ecology, Ivano-Frankivsk region of Ukraine.

Authentic shoulder bag called “dz’obnia” from western Ukraine, Carpathian region. It is rather small. The bag is traditionally hand-woven and ornate, adorned with tiny yarn pom-pons or other decorations. Dz’obnia was used by women to carry small items, like a kerchief or some bread for lunch.
