These belt bags are made from vegetable tanned calf and goat skins that have been dyed using period dyes and they are made entirely by hand. The design for this bag comes from illustrations in Boccaccio's Decameron 1430 and is a common style from the 15th century to the mid 16th century. They have a draw string bag and they hang from a belt loop. The more elaborate version has decorative tooling on the belt loop and fla and piping in the main seam.

They measure 8 inches wide and 12 inches long (20 x 30 cm) when open.
