Friedhelm shoulder bag

At LARP and medieval events you are wandering a lot. Therefore, you are often faced with the question of where the many items of equipment that one needs every day can be sensibly stored.

The shoulderbag of the 'Friedhelm' series is a practical solution to this problem. Its main material is suede. This makes it both flexible and robust. It is water repellent and looks very good. The strap is hung on D-rings, adjustable in length and can even be removed completely. Thus it is possible to draw additional beltbags and potion bags, sheats for Throwingknives or similar equipment on the strap or use the shoulder bag itself as a large belt bag. At the front, the shoulder bag is closed with two buckles.

The bag belt from the "Borchard" series is ideal for organising a lot of equipment and having it ready to hand quickly.
Whether healer, mercenary, alchemist or adventurer, in this combination of robust belt and five bags you will find everything you could need on the way. The practical pocket belt can be conveniently stored back in the camp.
All pockets are closed at the front with a loop over a button, the belt has two practical rings to adjust it to the desired circumference.
If you want to carry even more equipment, you can also connect two belts and use them as shoulder belts. The bag belt can also be attached to backpacks and knapsacks.
A true organizational talent!

”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!

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Ready-for-Battle Purse is a moderately sized cloth purse designed to hold coins or other personal keepsakes. The round bottomed purse is made from medium cotton and is tied shut with a cotton 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 RFB Purse can carry a lot thanks to its 12 cm radius at full extension. Store anything that will fit inside its 23 cm length. Cloth purses are useful accessories and great for adding final touches to your character.

A handy backpack made from heavy-duty canvas cloth and is big enough for all that stuff that is too big for your belt-pouch. The straps are lined and fitted and can be adjusted in their length. The entire backpack is lined with cotton and it has a small bag sewed in the front.

As an Adventurer, you never know who you might be working for or what beast you’ll be sent to dispatch next. There’s only one thing for certain: if there’s enough money or glory to be had, you’re the right person for the job.

On your travels you keep your armour and belongings close by, secure inside your Adventurer Backpack. Along with your weapon and your skill, you expect that you may yet live to be a wisened old veteran. You certainly have the survival instinct.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Adventurer Backpack is a framed medium-sized knapsack that can hold up to 20,000 cubic cm (or about 20 liters). Made from vegetable-tanned full-grain leather, reinforced canvas and soft split-leather, this backpack is designed to evenly distribute weight on the shoulders thanks to its cushioned split-leather straps. The leather has been shaped and stitched to add structure and prevent the bag and straps from deforming with heavy-use. The bag’s frame is made of rigid leather sewn together, adjustable on the face with two large straps.

The Adventurer Backpack’s leather frame fits around a removable canvas bag, closed with a drawstring and a decorated leather cover fitted with two leather straps. Eight round and D-ring fastenings are fitted on the backpack for additional gear. The practical aspect of the design and the style of the backpack makes it a great accessory anywhere you need a handy knapsack for transporting your gear around without breaking character.

HISTORY

• Historically used by hunters to carry hunting tools and game
• Typically made from leather and animal intestines
• Backpacks were not made a popular fashion choice until the 1950s

This black velveteen bag will dutifully protect whatever is inside on your travels.

The shoulder bags of the Belwar series are made of robust cowhide leather and are closed with two hand-forged iron buckles. These bags are suitable for all costumes and purposes.

The shoulder bag is ideal for carrying larger items such as books, scrolls and large potion bottles. 

Long day ahead?  Whether you're starting off a weekend LARP, a busy fair, or going reenacting, the Traveler's Satchel is the bag for you. It is practical and handy, which keeps your everyday necessities within arm's reach while you are on the go. No extra weight, no extra hassle.

The satchel is made from suede leather that will make you want to pet it, it's form fitting, and over time it cultivates to wear in a welcome fashion! The finish feels nice and suede-like, and is right at home in historical or fantasy atmospheres because the leather is neither brittle, glossed, nor too contemporary- just soft, lightweight, and durable. A bag that finds its own intent in whatever capacity your day or circumstance incurs.

The layout is smart but compact. You're left with a large one main pocket that you can squeeze in as much as your phone, wallet, notebook, snack, or tiny equipment. There is a small inner pocket in there, and it's ideal for items you want to access individually or in haste. It's spacious enough to contain your kit together without having to dig around.

It closes at the top flap and secures with a durable buckle closure. The buckle is not just for show - it keeps the flap in place when you're running, backpacking, or walking for multiple hours.  The wide straps connect with a simple metal slider, making it easy to tighten for crossbody or over-the-shoulder use, depending on your gear-carrying preference.

It is available in two rich suede colours, burgundy and black. They are subtle enough to blend well with a large range of outfits and complement leather belts, tunics, and coats well. It's designed to fly under the radar without drawing attention to the rest of your equipment.

There isn't an inside lining on purpose. That coarse suede interior preserves the light and simple, no-frills look but still offers a sincere experience without added bulk. It also folds flat in your suitcase when you're not wearing it, which is a huge advantage for travel or tight packing area.

Why it’s worth adding to your kit:

• Soft suede leather construction that’s lightweight and flexible
• One main compartment plus one smaller internal pocket
• Adjustable shoulder strap for versatile and comfortable wear
• Buckle closure flap keeps contents safe and secure
• No inner lining for a raw, authentic feel
• Available in Black or Burgundy
• Made by Epic Armoury and built for practical use at LARP, festivals, reenactments, or casual historical events
