Chainmail Purse

There's a reason the term "cut purse" is a thing.
Chainmail, being a slash proof material, prevents a cut purse from cutting your purse.

Medieval solutions

”A man’s worth is kept in his purse,” or so your father used to say. And as the third-biggest merchant from Tarbean, he certain knew what he was talking about.

A good purse needs to hold all sorts of regional currency, from Cealdish jots, to golden marks, crowns, drabs, ingots, pennies and coppers. None of it is ever far from your hand, or your sturdy leather purse.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Merchant Purse is a moderately sized wool and leather purse designed to hold coins or other personal keepsakes. The reinforced-bottom purse is made from wool blend and top-grain leather and is tied shut with a leather cord drawstring. The same drawstring is long enough that it can be tied to your belt in order to keep it close at hand.

The Mechant Purse can carry a lot, including anything up to 23 cm in length. Beautiful purses like this one are useful accessories and great for adding final touches to your character.

HISTORY

• Historically referred to and used like a “pocket” before pockets were added to clothing
• Pouches worn at the belt have been found in Swedish and English burial sites pre-dating 1000 A.D.

Sneaking through the bandit’s hideout, you pause as a particular chest catches your eye. A true adventure always comes with its fair share of loot, you think, as you inspect for traps. All seems well as you start to pick the lock, wondering what sort of treasure the bandits might be hiding.

The lid opens with an awful creak--you’re sure someone will have heard it!--and as you look inside you are excited to find the entire chest full of stolen coins and gems. You don’t have much time as you scoop several handfuls into your Ready-for-Battle Purse, thanking the fact that your bag is big enough to carry so much, before you jingle toward the exit.

It’s about time something good came out of this journey!
