This style of bag is seen in a number of illustrations from the 14th to the 17th century. They are made from vegetable tanned calf skins that have been dyed using period dyes and are made entirely by hand. It has side gussets to give more room and measures 11 x 10 inches (27 x 25 cms) when open.

This bag can also be decorated by tooling the flap and binding the edges with thin leather.
