Modern replica of medieval pouch attached to the belt made by historical reconstructors. Look how beautifully it’s decorated! Also, you can see narrow leather belt with intricate brass belt plates.

Marvelous kid’s kjolsäck bag. Part of a girl’s traditional outfit from Rättvik region of Sweden. It is very bright and adorned with lovely pom-pons.

Modern reconstruction of a medieval leather bag worn attached to a belt. Kyivan Rus’ period, to be more precise, the 10th – early 11th century. You can see lovely decorative plates on the bag and belt.

Lovely hand-woven shoulder bag called “taistra” from western Ukraine, the early 20th century. It is made in the technique of tapestry weave and has a beautiful woven handle. The bag is decorated with schematic bird depictions with their nest – symbols of family, love, and well-being for a couple.
