Leather wallets

Leather wallet - Leather purse

No matter what you call it, wallet, purse, money bag or coin pocket, usually this accessory is made of leather.

The use of leather pouches for storing money dates back a long time. Even in ancient civilizations, coins and other valuables were kept in handcrafted leather pouches. Leather was a popular material due to its durability and flexibility. The pouches were often attached to belts or straps, serving not only as a storage place but also as a means of transporting money.

Over time, the leather pouches evolved into wallets specifically designed for holding coins and banknotes. In the Middle Ages and the early modern period, leather wallets were widely used. They were available in various sizes and designs, catering to people from different social strata.
